1501_2766 Bear Beach
The light wasn't ideal for landscape photography - far from it. So when we hiked into Bear Beach and the imaginatively named "Rock on a Pillar", I was disappointed. Flat white sky. Very difficult.
Shots in the opposite direction, where dark green forest encroached on the beach, were fine, but views toward Juan de Fuca Strait meant dealing with a featureless sky and distant haze. I chose this POV and crop to minimize the amount of white in the frame. I didn't want to come home with nothing but shots of beach rocks and logs. And considering this was January, we didn't complain, because it wasn't raining. This part of the west coast gets a lot of winter rain.
