Here's a photographer doing what I should have been doing, that is, taking photos of the amazing sunset, not taking photos of other photographers. Naw, I got plenty and was on my way to another spot when I noticed this guy and decided to take a quick snap. It looks like we were alone out there, but there were dozens of others shooting away too. I know a couple of my contacts were out there that night, so if you recognize yourself, let me know. :)
The 235 feet high famous rock called Haystack at Cannon Beach Oregon is the third largest coastal monolith in the world. Cannon Beach is a popular and picturesque coastal resort area on the northern end of Oregon's Highway 101. Print size 13x19 inches.
Was trying to get around to the front of this rock and got pounced by a sneaker wave. Saw the swirl taking shape and decided to make the best of my wet feet. Surprised my tripod stayed in place, lucky I found quick focus.

This is me experimenting with light and texture at Cannon Beach, Oregon. Pleased with the reflection and the sky. Not sure how I feel about the comp.
I can hear my flickr contacts now... "Good lord, did that guy just post ANOTHER Cannon Beach sunset shot!?!?"
Yep. I sure did... ;-)
In my opinion the best night of the vacation.
8 second exposure.
Photo was taken by our son.

Exposure Northwest, Oregon Coast Workshop, Neskowin, Oregon.
Back from the Coast workshop and tired has heck. It was a great workshop, even though the conditions weren't always the best. Like the previous workshops, I learned a great deal and am happy with what I came away with. Big thanks to Aaron and Zeb for putting together another great workshop.
I started to have problems with my camera Sunday morning, but was still able to work with it. Later that afternoon, it became unusable, so Aaron let me borrow his 5D Mark II for awhile. When we got to Hug Point, Vinny let me borrow his 5D and then his Leica at Cannon Beach. Today's goal is to clean all my equipment and let my camera dry out. As of right now, I can't get past the "err 50" when I turn it on.
It was a fun time, and highly recommended to take one of these workshops.
Have A Great Sunday Everybody!
Left Tillamook under dry skies. But...
2nd day was worst than the first.
Began to rain.
Google Maps got GPS position wrong and I ended up climbing northward.
Then it rained in buckets.
Found myself at Cape Lookout, and turned back only to reclimb.
Continued south into the wind and rain.
Came to Cape Kiwanda and the Sun was shining. Called it a day at Pacific City when I found the quaintest motel welcoming cyclists.
Rolled my bike to motel room, and my front tire blew a flat!
Uncanny repeat of yesterday.
Self Portrait as I stood here in amazement of the stars above me... I took other shots without me in them but I liked how this one turned out
A stitched panorama looking southwest from the top of the giant sand dune.
Cape Kiwanda is awesome. Running down that sand dune was a hell of a lot of fun!
It's not easy to have an original Cannon Beach photo that no one else has taken, but I think I've succeeded here. Because Beanie, the wonder dog, will not pose for anyone else. Well maybe she would, given a really good treat ---- but she wouldn't lift that half paw just so. . .

I typically enjoy a beautiful beach DESTINATION, as I find the water and sand to be the most replenishing. By Elizabeth Berkley
Rocks just south of Haystack Rock, low tide. The largest rock had a lot of Common Murres and Western Gulls on top. I don't know if the Murres were nesting there or just gathering - I couldn't identify something as a "baby murre" - but the Western Gulls were breeding. The grey fuzzy chicks were visible (just barely) with binoculars, when I got the photos home I saw they were also spotted. Good camouflage. There were also Pigeon Guillemot swimming at the base of the rock fishing and occasionally flying by.
It was such a stormy day while I was there and decided to change gears from doing astro to long exposure landscapes.

I updated this photo January 22, 2015 using Lightroom to try to bring out more detail.
