Late in the day, A passing cold front starts lifting in a lovely line shaped formation above Cannon Beach, Oregon.
taken from Ecola State Park.
So we drove to Cannon Beach not really knowing what the weather would be like and sure enough it turned out pretty crappy. It was overcast and we got some sprinkles and there wasn't even a sunset. It just got dark. We were resigned to head back to the car when another dog wanted to play with Roy. When I turned around there was a strip of hot pink through the sky. It lasted about 5 minutes so I didn't get much, but it's better than nothing I guess........

This was taken a while back when we made a little trip to the Oregon coast... A very popular destination, Haystack Rock...
I just spent the past three days at Cape Kiwanda on the Oregon coast. I hit the beach, each morning, at 4:30 a.m. to catch that light as it first hits the cliffs.
I am amazed that I pretty much had the beach to myself.(maybe 4:30 is too early?) There was no wind and the tide was low. A few fishermen showed up with their dories joined by one or two paddle boarders. Otherwise I noticed people did not venture out until past 8, when the fog rolled in and the wind picked up, but by 10 the fog would lift and I was left with gorgeous sunny days. I didn't get those wonderful sunsets, but it made for some nice long walks and reading on the beach.
Now I have film to process.
I've spent the past few months working my way through a couple rolls of the new Fuji Acros II attempting to answer the questions I have about the film. Questions like, "How similar to the original Acros is it?" "What about it's reciprocity failure?" "Is it as fine of grain?" Then yesterday I compiled all those thoughts, images and notes and wrote something for Blue Moon Camera that is halfway between first impression and review. You can read it if you'd like at the Codex section of the Blue Moon Camera website. Suffice it to say, that for all intents and purposes, Acros II is as close to the original as you could ever want it to be. There is a slight change in contrast, a slight change in spectral sensitivity, it might actually be a little finer grained if that is even possible, and no change in terms of how it handles long exposures. This was a 30 minute exposure with only 1 extra stop of reciprocity compensation added.
So I am excited to have access to this film again (we just got a couple hundred rolls at the shop). I have been going back through pages of old b&w negatives over the last month on the hunt for any film stocks that weren't Tri-X and I was surprised by how much Acros I have shot over the years. I knew I liked the film, but had forgotten how much of it I have used. So now I am looking forward to using this second iteration of that excellent film. If only we could get Fuji to bring back Neopan 400 and 1600 now.

Having an amazing shooting locations so close to a restaurant and pub is such a win win situation!!!! They actually make a beer called Kiwanda Cream Ale. I am not sure if they still make it but they did at one time.... These soft creamy colors reminded me of the name.....

Oregon Coast
Cannon Beach is a small coastal city in northwest Oregon. It’s known for its long, sandy shore. Standing tall in the ocean, Haystack Rock is a seasonal haven for tufted puffins.
On a headland to the north, trails in Ecola State Park offer sweeping views of the ocean, coves and a lighthouse. South is Arcadia Beach, with tide pools and a picnic area. Nearby Hug Point has sea caves. Boutiques and galleries dot downtown.
Haystack Rock is a 235-foot (72-meter) sea stack in Cannon Beach, Oregon. It is sometimes claimed locally to be the third-tallest such "intertidal" (meaning it can be reached by land) structure in the world, but there are no official references to support this.
A popular tourist destination, the monolithic rock is adjacent to the beach and accessible by foot at low tide. The Haystack Rock tide pools are home to many intertidal animals, including starfish, sea anemone, crabs, chitons, limpets, and sea slugs. The rock is also a nesting site for many sea birds, including terns and puffins.

I'd give anything to be on this beach right now ...
Polaroid SX-70 (+ ND pack filter) with expired 600 film -- June 2011 in Cannon Beach, OR
We met our daughter in Portland after she rode her bicycle from Seattle (to Portland) to raise $ for clean water in Africa. Since we'd heard so much about Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, we stayed there a few days to check it out for ourselves. It didn't disappoint.
Pacific City to Newport. 50 miles with one grueling painful climb due to a missed turn. But a wonderful sunny day otherwise.
Very old revisited picture. This was towards the end of a Fall windstorm. People started to come back out of their hotel rooms with Haystack Rock still under a heavy blanket of clouds. Winds were still blowing about 40mph. The cool part is the wind storm swept away most of the footprints in the sand; as you can see with the sand waves on the left.
Of course this is enhanced, especially the clouds for the drama and the drop in exposure for the silhouette effect and contrast. Otherwise, it was just a all gray and blah. I'm trying to post a pic a day, in doing so, I am going through all my old pics and letting my "creative" juices flow. I know its probably not to most people's liking, but I get to explore and practice the PS6 tools. Would love to hear comments and critiques!
I managed to escape west a couple weekends ago for one of those wonderful winter days at the Oregon coast. Work came with me but in a very enjoyable fashion. One of our customers brought in her Mamiya C220 that she wanted us to look over for her, as she wasn't sure she could fully trust the camera after it fell and took an impact. Little historical tidbit about me: a Mamiya TLR was the camera I used to expose my first ever roll of 120 film way back in the day. I no longer remember if it was a C330 or C220 though, but it was one or the other. Anyway, I figured what better way to test this camera than a weekend with it and a roll of film. So I loaded that C220 up with some Rollei Retro 400S and took off for Cannon Beach. While the C220 is not terribly different from the Hasselblad 500C I am used to, it is also totally different. One of those where it is at once familiar but also an experience all its own. It was a nice outing with the camera and I enjoyed using the Retro 400S. It has been awhile since I shot a roll of that as well, and when I do load up that film it is almost always to use it with R72 filters and do infrared work.
Anyhow, here's another excerpt from that roll of film. I love sand: how it crumbles and is formed by wind and rain, it's patterns and so on. I stood here for a few minutes waiting for a splash of direct sunlight and the clouds finally paid heed to my intentions and parted long enough to throw some highlights across the beach for me.

Was moving around to capture the changing light and avoiding the intensity of the stormy waves!
The reflections on the beach were quite nice especially with the patterning of the coastline.
This was the sunset gifted to me a weekend ago while I was at the coast delivering framed images for my show that opens tonight. I am excited to see the new gallery and the all of our work up on the wall. There is something magical that a framed, well-lit print has that no image on a computer monitor can ever touch. They take on a life of their own for sure. I am reminded of this every time I grumble my way through framing an image. After the final points are driven in and the wire strung, and you flip that frame over and take the whole thing it, it is always a wow moment. Sort of like seeing your kids suddenly all grown up and graduating high school. Not college though, I will save that moment for my first MOMA show. ;-p
Anyway, I am almost done with a series of images I am going to post, but that will not get posted until probably tomorrow afternoon as I am going to be down in Astoria all evening tonight for Lighbox's grand opening. So in the meantime, I figured I would get something up for everyone to enjoy.
And I may just see a couple of familiar faces in Astoria tonight. :-)

The sun was setting and illuminated the mist at Haystack Rock. A nice slow wave came up right into the middle of the shot.
Another dive into my Canon Beach archives from last June.
I am getting both excited and prepared for my San Diego trip next month.

Another from our spectacular night on the coast. This was taken a bit later then my last Haystack image.
The Golden Rule for Sunrise and Sunset shooting - Arrive first and leave last. You would not believe how many people were on the beach when the sun was coming down, but still a good 30 or so minutes away from dropping behind the horizon. Some people stayed for some of the good stuff, but no one stayed for the true color. I could not believe it!!!!! There were at least 10 people out with tripods and gear. Always be the last to leave. You never know what is going to happen :)
