Captured this with four RAW shots at -2..0..+2 EV. Digital blending in Photoshop CS6. I increased the overall saturation with Hue/Saturation in Photoshop. Curve adjustment to increase the overall contrast. 1 layer mask in soft light mode at 50% gray, using brush tool to lighten and darken some areas of the image, to bring out details. Topaz DeNoise to reduce noise. Topaz Clarity for additional boost in color and contrast.
Sunset Over Haystack Rock at Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast.
Daniel Cheong, Joe McLaughlin, and I drove to the Oregon Coast to catch sunset at Cannon Beach. Just a must-see for our out-of-town guest from Dubai, Daniel Cheong.

Exposure Northwest, Oregon Coast Workshop, Neskowin, Oregon.
A small view of the ghost forest that exist at Neskowin Beach. While we were here, Zeb gave us a little history about the forest. Apparently, many, many moons ago, a section of the forest on the cliffs above the beach came down in a giant landslide and ended up at it's current location. All the trees snapped off, leaving tall stumps behind that were covered over by sand. Over thousands of years, the petrified forest emerged through the eroding sand. It continues to erode today, and in time will be completely gone.
The forest is best viewed during low tide. If the tide is low enough, the entire forest will be exposed for your viewing pleasure. If the tide is high enough during high tide, the entire forest will be submerged. You have to cross a large but shallow stream to get to this side of the beach so be prepared to get your feet wet.
Have A Great Weekend Everybody!
For those wondering how I took this shot:
I propped my camera in the sand using the lens cap, as I often (stupidly) do and took a shot right after sunset at Cannon Beach using Haystack Rock and the moon as a background. I set the exposure to somewhere around fifteen seconds, while my friend Eric on the far right was standing still taking his own picture. I walked in front of the camera for a few seconds, then moved again, making the two other shadows.
If you like this picture, check out others immediately before and after in my photostream; I took a few like this.
After adding this to a couple of groups, this picture shot up to 186 on explore, and has been as high as 70. This is my second most popular photo
Thanks!

Well after sunset at Haystack Rock. We were hoping the sky would go pink on us, but it didn't. The filters sort of helped to enhance the color here. I don't know what's up with the framing and labelling lately. I suppose I'll get tired of it one day and stop doing it.
After our 650 mile roundtrip to Ashland Oregon a few days ago we decided we hadn't had enough, so we took a 250 mile roundtrip to the Oregon Coast yesterday. We intentionally got a late start to miss the Portland traffic, and took highway 26 to enjoy the fall color display at 60 miles per hour. There aren't as many trees as there used to be, but when we drove through the yellow Maple tree leaf fall outside of Elsie it looked like we were in a leafy blizzard.
When we got to the Coast I had intended to go North, but my wife Linda wanted to go to Cannon Beach. We found a section not swarming with people and we let the dogs run wild. I noticed some co-motion toward Haystack Rock , so I took the Fuji and headed in that direction. This was my first encounter with Brown Pelicans. I could never get in amongst them, but I was able to hang on the edge and get a few good shots.
My tripod broke again, so I was using my Gorrilla Pod, or handholding all of my shots. The Gorrilla Pod stands about 12 inches high, so I was on my stomach a lot. The Sand at the beach can be very wet!
We should have stayed for the Sunset at Cannon Beach, but we were getting restless, so we drove on and ended the day further South at Twin Rocks. It never occured to me that gliding Pelicans and an awesome orange Sunset might have made an impressive image. Sometimes we get into a go-go-go frame of mind. It all worked out for the best however, when the nice Oregon State Trooper pulled us over for no license plate lights. He was very nice and only gave us a warning. :)
the beach goers are waiting for a beautiful sunset display and the seagulls are getting ready to settle in for the night on their rocky nesting site. Admittedly, the seagulls are a bit hard to see, they are the little dots on and around the biggest rock. I especially liked the striation of the reflections.
Cannon Beach—where Haystack Rock rises like an ancient sentinel,
carved by time, kissed by storms,
a cathedral of stone holding centuries in silence.
Here, the wind hums stories of the Clatsop people,
of mariners lost and lovers found,
of Goonies chasing dreams among the tides.
Each wave that folds into the shore
is a breath from the past,
a soft reminder that beauty,
like memory,
never truly fades.
Here is a photo taken from a quick summer weekend down the Oregon coast. This was taken right outside of Cannon Beach, OR. Scanned from Velvia.

Two weeks exploring Oregon.
We started in Portland, moved to Astoria and then headed down the coast to Canon Beach.
When people who know Cannon Beach think of the area, they think of Haystack Rock. It juts out of the ocean and towers over the beach. This is also a protected rock because of the many birds that call it home or use it as for yearly nesting. Tufted Puffins are nesting (or hatching) right now and they're quite a sight to see!
Whew.... nearing the end of "Postapalooza", as one of my contacts remarked ;-)
The above image was made at Shi Shi Beach along the Olympic Peninsula (with a Zero Image 2000 pinhole) and features a "ghostly" figure and tripod. Below we have a view of the Rockies (I think) as seen while flying, taken with the Holga.
So many people have taken photo's of this Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, and I can't expect to top what's already done, but I can show you a different perspective.
Haystack Rock dominates the view at Cannon Beach on the Oregon Coast. It makes an impressive reflection as the surf retreats.

Sunset and Sun Star with Haystack Rock and the Needles from Cannon Beach in Oregon
"Nailed It! Friday Night on Cannon Beach did not disappoint. After a fine day working in my Images of the West Gallery, Shyla Dog Super Hiker and I hit the beach for some hiking and sunset time. I do believe this will end up in the galleries, as I am very happy with this image. If you are in Cannon Beach this weekend, stop on in the gallery and say hi! Thank you so much for looking!
