Pacific City to Newport. 50 miles with one grueling painful climb due to a missed turn. But a wonderful sunny day otherwise.
French Impressionist painter Claude Monet used to take a subject -- a church facade, a water-lily pond, haystacks -- and paint them in different light at different times of day as a study in light. I was thinking of him as I took these images recently at the Oregon coast. I was thinking about how he might handle this scene as one of his "studies." So I'd like to pay homage to Claude, one of my favorites, by trying my hand at a study of light at this scene in Cannon Beach, Oregon. This particular scene is of Haystack Rock in morning light.
During a trip to Ireland many years ago we had many "soft days" as the locals called them. This day along the Oregon Coast near Cannon Beach evoked strong memories of that weather. The best description of a soft day I could find:
"is a day when the precipitation is a cross between mist and drizzle and is sometimes referred to as “mizzle”.
The rain does not fall to the ground in heavy droplets, but seems to hover and linger in the air. Yet this rain is too heavy to be classified as mist, and it is not vaporous and rolling like fog. It only takes a few minutes outdoors on a soft day, to be soaking wet."

Seem familiar? The opening and closing scenes of the Goonies featured Haystack Rock.
i have been waiting 6 years to meet this woman in person and let me tell you she did not disappoint! lori, you have such a big heart. i feel so lucky to call you a friend.
This is a 235 foot (72 metres) high monolith that towers over Cannon Beach. I'd wanted to visit Haystack Rock for years, so grabbed the chance when hubby suggested a beer-tasting road-trip around Oregon. This is a four minute exposure taken very early.

The Needles at Cannon Beach are often overlooked and overshadowed by their much taller neighbor Haystack Rock.
If it were a perfect world, I would gladly leave my normally unobtrusive watermark off in a corner. But sadly, it is not. And so I am forced to now place it front & center to discourage dishonest people from image theft and cropping watermarks. My apologies to image loving fans everywhere...I trust you will understand. Help fight this by reporting such abuses immediately!
From Ecola State Park, Oregon. This morning view shows the quaint village of Cannon Beach and its beach with the Oregon Coast Range in the background. The massive rocks are sea stacks, the largest of which is 235-foot high Haystack Rock in the background. Scanned from a color slide.
I'm not a huge sunset/sunrise fan, when it comes to photography. They're beautiful times of day, and indeed, the hour of light after sunrise and before sunset is truly magic hour, but I find that in Oregon, all that color is sometimes overrated when we have things like deep green moss, stormy ocean skies, and fantastic soft box light on those rainy, cloudy days.
That being said... I love this image. Not just the color (which isn't toowild), but also the textures and the mood.

If you go to Cannon Beach, you need to take an obligatory photo of Haystack Rock. It's a 235 ft. tall celebrity. Seriously, photographers flock to this rock like bees to honey!
I've decided that we'll try and make this a yearly thing...just Flint and the Rock. :)
Haystacks is the title of a series of impressionist paintings by Claude Monet. They show differences in perception of light across various times of day, seasons, and types of weather. My album of Haystack Rock images show appearance differences caused by time of day, tidal change, and weather. Haystack Rock is an 235 ft high sea stack, the two smaller ones are The Needles.

I was fortunate to be at Cannon Beach all alone standing under the stars on an unusually clear evening this past Friday. What an amazing scene to take in! All alone on a dark beach, the ocean's roar, and as bright and starry of a sky as I've ever seen. I could have stood there forever.
So with much help from Ben Canales' star shooting tutorial, I tried to capture the scene I was enjoying. From what I can tell, Jupiter is shining bright in the upper right corner of the frame, and the moon's glow is shining in from just off the right side of the photo.
The original picture is of Haystack Rock at Pacific City Oregon and the sunset that was taking Place... The music is from Fiddler On The Roof by Ferrante and Teicher.. Enjoy!!
Haystack Rock and the Needles shortly after sunset, shot from a lower angle on the beach. Cannot get enough of this place!
Cannon Beach, Oregon
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.(Wikipedia)

Extremely overcast, yet beautiful at Cape Kiwanda in Pacific City, Oregon this weekend. Just having fun with some long exposure.
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.

Cannon Beach at sundown. I loved how the grit looks like stars with this sunset, so I didn't bother to clean it all off before and after scanning!
i guess you got me
in a sentimental mood
never thought that
i'd feel this way again
lyin' here with my dreams
i get so lonely thinking of you
river of tears
oceans of heartbreak
i want to feel
what your love can be
i close my eyes
chances that i take
got me so blind
'til i can't see
i never let you know
just what's been on my mind
never thought that i'd hurt so bad
for lovin' you this long
lyin' here at night alone
i keep on wonderin' just what went wrong
"river of tears"

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.
One of the most photographed landmarks on the Oregon coast is Haystack Rock, a 235-foot-high landmark dotted with nests made by puffins and other seabirds. It's such a distinctive sight that some locals have wild theories about aliens plucking the sea stack straight out of Rio de Janeiro before setting it down in Cannon Beach. Whatever its origin, Haystack draws tons of visitors, especially at low tide, when you can walk right up to the monolith or look for crabs in the surrounding tide pools.

I was going to post a different photo this morning, but while looking through my contacts photos I found this post by manyfires mentioning Worldwide Pinhole Day. How do these things sneak up on me? I knew it was coming, but suddenly here it is. Anyway, happy Worldwide Pinhole Day! To anyone thinking about trying pinhole, go for it. It's a truly unique form of photography, very quiet and simple. I'll have to make it a point to get a few shots in today on my Zero Image.
