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 :)

Under the Milky Way and stars at Cannon Beach late last summer. Looking forward to this view again this summer
After a day to restore body and bike, 63-mile ride from Bandon to Gold Beach. A beautiful day along the coast. Caught up with fellow cyclists that I met in Pacific City.
This version of the Haystack sunset was taken a few moments before the other one. I'm trying to figure out which version I prefer. Right now I'm leaning towards 0524 because the sky is a little less hot and seems a bit more moody to me.
An evening on the Oregon coast looks slightly different with a bit of the ultraviolet end of the spectrum thrown in. I'm stacking two 9-stop Hoya ND filters, which I have discovered causes film to overexpose in terms of UV light. It has given me a new challenge to wrap my head around.

Sunrise out on the Cape on Sunday morning. Was mostly cloudy but the sun did light up the clouds for a few minutes. This wave just happened to be rolling in.
Hope you all are looking forward to a fun Holiday weekend with family and friends!

A fairly calm day for the north Pacific as waves approach Canon Beach, Oregon with Haystack Rock in the distance. View from Ecola State Park. Lewis & Clark wrote of this view in their Journals.
My first trip to Cannon Beach along the idyllic coastline of Oregon. Haystack rock is surprisingly impressive when viewed for the first time, especially how it juts straight out of the beach - iceberg like. For three hours, I stood barefoot and alone in the inky darkness, photograhing until I could feel my feet no more. I love the flat beach and serene setting - wonderful.
I had posted this one before... but took it down shortly after. I was not happy with the processing. Thought I would give it another shot tonight. This was taken from our balcony on the 3rd floor of where we stayed for the night when we were here. It was pretty dark when this was taken. Processed this one a bit lighter :)

I have been fighting with my 8x10 Deardorff over the last few weeks. It seems to have picked up a few more light leaks. All of my pictures that I developed today were ruined except for this one. This one seemed to have escaped the carnage.
I had to dust off the front and back tilt skills to pull this one off without having to put the exposure time into the reciprocity failure zone. It seems to have worked. Over all, I'm happy with it.
Camera: Deardorff 8x10 (leaky)
Lens: 360mm Schneider
Film: Efke PL50 developed in Ilfotec HC

Haystack Rock on Cannon Beach looks great no matter how you photograph it.

Time to wrap up my series from Haystack Rock on Cannon Beach. I have so many images from this night that I like... but, they are all pretty similar. This was taken right after the sun had dipped below the horizon. Not really sure I like the processing on this. Might be a bit too contrasty. Let me know what you think.
