Epperson Park in Williston. This Howitzer cannon was secured in on April 30 1975 for a monument in Epperson Park.
This is my second time visiting Cannon beach on Oregon Coast and I finally saw some sun light there. It was by no means a great sunset because the thick low cloud on the horizon blocked most of the sunset colors, but I was still able to capture a glimpse of the color before sun dipped into the cloud.
We're on the road again! Our first stop this snowbird season was Cannon Beach, Oregon, where we had two spectacular sunny days. Now to explore some new spots on the Oregon coast. We've been back and forth here so many times it's hard to believe there are places we haven't been to yet, but Oregon is chock full of gorgeous beaches.

All I can say is that the passing cold front was aligned perfectly for this cannon there on the battlefield in Gettysburg. Along the road in the Wheatfield area, I was able to get two of my favorite trees in the shot too.
Very early morning, this was my second shot of the day with a much better exposure with the limited lighting. This was nice as the lighter blue through the thinner part of the clouds was evident even to your eyes by this time, and the soft warm glow of the approaching sunrise was also off in the eastern horizon.
This is a very slight crop of the original frame, and will post another wider view taken here soon from the original.
The lighting and details on the cannon are just incredible given the dark dusky conditions, and looks really nice at 1:1. Only wish that these conditions could last a little longer in the morning, as they pass by so quickly, especially when taking long exposures. Slowing the Earth's rotation for just a few longer minutes wouldn't be so bad would it :)
Cannon Beach in Oregon is a popular spot for photographers. During this outing some time ago, I tried a different approach than I normally do with the famous monoliths by capturing the night sky lit up by the town's lights.

I have heard Canon has a new camera coming out. So I went to Fort Point to check it out. Its telephoto was definitely impressive! Who is upgrading?
Film: Kodak Tri-X
Camera: Rollei 35
In spite of the weather...rain, wind...the beauty of this area still shines.
This is Cannon Beach, OR about an hour before low tide. The truck in the background next to the Haystack Rock is from the Oregon Aquarium to educate people on the rock and sea life (read: people are thoughtless and might kill themselves and the creatures surrounding the rock).
Shortly after I took this 4 image pano, it starting raining and blowing with a vengeance...so we headed back to the Jeep.
Save the world. Vote for Joe Biden. Trump is a corrupt liar. He abuses the office to make money for his hotels. He lies about everything, including the seriousness of COVID-19. He tells Americans he will protect their healthcare even though he is supporting a lawsuit to take it away. And despite claims that he will "drain the swamp" he has hired over 280 ex-lobbyists. A coal lobbyist runs the EPA. An oil lobbyist runs the Department of the Interior. An auto lobbyist runs the Department of Energy.
Relatedly, the road in this image -- taken from the top of Cannon Mountain -- is crooked, just like Trump.
A recent trip out to the coast to clear my head of the spinning humdrum of work saw me at the north end of Cannon Beach contemplating which roll of film was going to take the place of my just-finished Bergger Pancro 400. My hand came out of my film bag holding a roll of Kodak E100 and I thought, "this or Portra 160?" Color negative, or color positive? I love slide film, but I don't work with it much. A big part of this is the scarcity of Fuji Velvia, my preferred chrome film. Another part of this is cost. A third part is that scans from slides always seem a bit pale in comparison to the original slide. I guess a fourth part is that E100 is a little too normal in its saturation for my tastes. But despite these reasons, I actually love shooting slide film, both for its results but also its process. Knowing I am working with a film that requires a bit more care and thought from me in gauging exposure makes me slow down and eye the scene. With color negative I just have to be close and if I have any doubt, I add a stop or two of exposure since it forgives it so readily. Color slide has a much narrower window and shows your failures more prominently. But doing a roll of slide now and again is a good way to stay on one's toes and make sure that their metering process really is precise. I don't mind that routine honing of my skills, so to speak. And that is how and where this image came about. I should also add that I spotted this reflection before the family moved into the scene. I could tell walking up to the tide pool I was going to enjoy the low angled symmetry I would find here. And then the family came along. My first reaction was "Drat, wouldn't you know it". But my second, more measured reaction, was "Hold on a sec and see what they do". In then end I think they made the scene more interesting for me and I exposed three images of them moving along the beach as their own photographer made portraits of them.

Save the world. Vote for Joe Biden. Trump is a racist. As a landlord, he discriminated against black tenants. As a presidential candidate, he called for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States." As a president, well, just read the wikipedia page: bit.ly/2T6Oc10
Unrelated, this is the view from Cannon this September.
When I visited Cannon Beach last time the weather pattern was rather unusual for August. The beach was foggy and unusually quiet with almost no big waves. It was eerie yet surreal. It was not the kind of sunset I was hoping to capture.

Beautiful Cannon Beach. Very good beach walking. Great sunsets. Cool for swimming but a few hardy souls ran in and out.

This is my first image in which I utilized the so-called Orton Effect. The Orton Effect -- named after Michael Orton who first used the technique -- is a sandwich of two identical images, one in focus and the other out of focus. I am pleased with the result I was able to achieve in this image.

This is a recent edit from my first trip to Cannon Beach that I took a couple of winters ago in 2013. Yes, this picture was taken in the winter...in February. :)

Armstrong cannon, had a effective range of 3 km (1.89 mi), was made between 1861 and 1871. It is a rare and original artifact. It was installed in Fort number 1 in 1878 and never modified.
The cannon and its carriage weigh 7 tons.
The Armstrong cannon was the first breech-loading piece of artillery. The bore, or hollow inside of the barrel, was rifled for greater firing accuracy and projectile speed.

Levis Fort#1 National Historic site of Canada were built by the British Army on the south shore of the St. Lawrence River to protect the City of Quebec from a possible American invasion. Three Forts were built between 1865 and 1872. Fort number 1 presents remarkable technological innovations for those years. This fort has been beautifully restored by the Parks Canada.
There are multimedia exhibitions on the history of Fort number 1, a casemate, a powder magazine, vaulted ramparts, tunnels or a shooting gallery.
