Yes, unbelievable that only one photographer would be on Cannon Beach at Sunset. Well, about 70 other photographers were 15 yards behind and complaning about this photographer runing their view.
I wouldn't normally call Cannon Beach rugged but from this view on this day it did have rough feel to it.
Oregon Sea Star Pisaster ochraceus - these used to be seen in greater numbers, but a wasting disease hit the population. (This has happened before but the recent one around 2014 was very bad indeed.) As a keystone species, we hate to see large numbers of them go.. Apparently the mysterious problem cleared itself up on its own... but I can remember seeing many more such animals near the waterline on the rocks during higher tide times... than I saw today at low tide. www.oregonconservationstrategy.org/strategy-species/ochre...
In a visual similarity that has nothing whatsoever to do with convergent evolution, this particular orange sea star reminds me of the Willendorf Venus. (Info from Friends of Haystack Rock 17 May 2019: “An update from the Sea Star Survey this morning; 189 individuals counted in the survey plot, 92% of them with a 20mm radius or less & 89% of individuals counted showed no signs of wasting. So lots of healthy babies!”)

Why does the Oregon Coast make for great B&W photos you may ask? Well most of the time the skies are gray yet there is still some definition in the clouds and instead of having a dull color photograph, I think the black and white works best....I have been going through my archives and have noticed that most of my shots I am working in B&W are from the coast...
Since the first of the year I have been out to the coast several times and have got some sweet sunrises which you will start seeing around the middle of Feb. So I am not lacking for color at all...I even had a sweet sunrise out East yesterday morning with some terrific cloud patterns.
Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!

This was a two minute exposure of the Milky Way at Cannon Beach. If you look close enough at the stars they have a tail due to the long exposure and the affect of the earth's rotation on the star's light.
Life has been stormy of late, especially those blustery spring storms that roll in at the coast and literally leave the side of your body facing into the wind soaked to the skin while the leeward side of your person stays bone dry. There have been some wonderful storms out there, reminding me why I like this time of year.
I led a trip to Cape Kiwanda two weeks ago to take advantage of this. The class consisted of rain and sun and humongous clouds and panoramic film cameras and film older than me... I think. We had with us a bucketload of preserved FP4 unlike any FP4 I have ever seen, so I know it is at least 15 years old, but by the looks of it, its genesis went much farther back than a mere decade and change. So I made a point to get a roll of this through my own camera. And oh what grain and charcoal-like tones.
I wish they still made film like this. It makes me think of Josef Koudelka and that pilfered motion picture film he photographed with in Prague when he was making his epochal images of the Russian invasion.
But I digress and to my detriment, because I really have very little time left here tonight. Coming back from a break always means catch up, and catching up is mostly what I am doing at the moment. But I stopped for a break to leave my head in some storm clouds.
Really though, is there any other way that the Oregon coast should be than this? Even in the middle of summer, on a bright blue day, this coast is still a moody, cold, blustery and impassioned thing masquerading as a calm, friendly beach. If you don't believe, drive over there right now and see for yourself.

Canon Beach
Oregon
This image was taken on a beautiful evening where it seemed cloud was everywhere but over the main subject of interest which was the haystack rock . I tried to include the dramatic sky all round by taking a 180 pano of the area and ended up taking a few frames of that dramatic area to the south toward Arcadia Beach.
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.

As fall moves into winter, I am remind of just why I don't think I could ever live far from the ocean.

For this shot of Haystack Rock on Cannon Beach at Night, I set up my tripod on the balcony of my room at the Stephanie Inn, then stepped inside to expose the shot with the Canon app on my phone. I guess that remote shooting feature on the 6D comes in handy on a cool evening!

Me, Haystack Rock (at Cannon Beach), and the the ocean... brought to you by my Zero Image pinhole. I was attempting to get a little 'wave action' around my feet, but I soon discovered that little wooden cameras, when placed on a tiny tripod only inches above swirling water, are likely to capsize under said swirling water. So I played it safe for this shot and stayed out of the deeper water.
Please disregard the toes that look like,... well, alien toes. Granted, pinhole perspective does slightly alter objects directly in front of the camera, but I can't blame it all on an odd perspective - I do have strange toes.
I don't remember what the exposure was on this shot - 15 seconds or so? If that. It was a bright early evening at the beach, my first sunny sunset in what had seemed like months... we spent a good amount of time wandering up and down Cannon Beach, waiting for the sun to touch and sink past the horizon. All in all, it was a lovely evening.
This was a shot I took of one of the Haystack Rocks along the Oregon coast.. This one is at Pacific City.. I used a plugin called FilterForge and one of it's presets that you can download for my slide...Happy Slider's Sunday, Everybody
Cape Kiwanda State Natural Area - Pacific city, Oregon.
This is a really special spot on the Oregon Coast. You arrive at this vantage point after climbing up a giant sand dune. There are many cool areas to explore among the rocks and the cape once you're up there... It can be a bit of a climb but definitely worth it for the views! I'm a little busy over the Holidays, so I'll only be posting sporadically for a while. I'll do my best to keep up with viewing & commenting everybody's new work though. Thanks for viewing and happy Wednesday guys! :-)
This 235 foot tall basalt monolith is located on the scenic Cannon Beach on the northern Oregon coast. Print size 13x19 inches.
I've been doing dumpster diving on my drives lately. They're all too full. Some stuff gets deleted. And some stuff gets found again. Here's an amazing sunset from a few years back.
