Sunrise Bandon Oregon
F/22.. 20 mm 6 seconds iso 50
going down on the f stop was only done to help saturate the color of the sunrise because this image was stacked , one shot of the lighthouse stacked on a focus of the sea grass in the foreground to have sharpness throughout the image , yes is was sharp without the stack, but the overall foreground sharpness was tiny bit better with the stacking, sorry for the low resolution, everything I put online is chopped down to 1 magbite or tiny bit larger, for two reasons, one fast loading, two copyright protection :) note the lens is at it sharpest normally at f 11 or close to that, stopping down further is used for depth of field or some time I use it to increase exposure time for different effects like color saturation for example or showing movement would be another reason and of course always post process with photoshop for best results, but you want that color already there so you can just fine tune it and color corrections are at a minimum, good thing there was no wind, but sometimes the wind blowing the grass can show movement and look great and sometimes not so great, by making the exposure time longer you can increase color saturation like how you would shoot film, although digital is a bit different, same idea. longer slower reaction better tone, don't go to long because it can also blow the image out, if I do this type of exposure I normally under expose 1/3 stop to prevent blowing out the highlights, don't go to far under because you can lose the detail in the shadows
This photo was taken near McKercher Park.
The Calapooia (cala - POO - ya) River is an 80-mile (130 km) tributary of the Willamette River in the state of Oregon. The Calapooia was named for the Kalapuya (also spelled Calapooia), a tribe of Native Americans.
The McKercher Park to Brownsville section of the Calapooia River is 7 miles long and is, according to American Whitewater, a class I section of whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in Oregon tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable.
I was almost back to my car coming back from Greenway park when this junco alit near me in the grass. I squatted for the low perspective, and it ventured even closer!
It is always a peaceful setting when you can capture a sunset on the Oregon Coast.

Once in a while, I see people riding on the beach and it's always a pleasure for me to see a horse. I couldn't tell if Tidda was more interested in the dog or the horses. I had her on the leash, of course, because you don't want to risk spooking a horse.
When visiting the Oregon coast, I found myself drawn to the ferns along the trail. I'd always been impressed by the number and variety of ferns I saw...yet it was this older, soft brown fern that caught my attention. Although the plant was no longer bright green, the fronds staggered on the center stem were quite beautiful. There is much to appreciate in nature.

As seen from the viewpoint right next to parking lot. Taken after first light.
With a sheer plunge of 89 feet, Tumalo Falls is both the tallest and most impressive waterfall along Tumalo Creek - as well as one of the most popular outdoor destinations in the vicinity of Bend. The area around the falls was burnt in a 1979 forest fire, though like the landscape surrounding Mount St. Helens after it's devastating 1980 eruption, the forest is quickly healing. A few snags still line the hillsides along the valley but the area is green again, covered with small fir trees and not at all detracting from the splendor of the falls. A nice set of viewpoints both at the top and near the base of the falls make viewing the falls possible for nearly everyone.
I was almost back to the office when this junco landed in the tree right next to me. Lunch hour was extended for this photo shoot!
