Photographing along the Oregon Coast is always a treat no matter the season or the weather there is always something that will catch your eye. I spent a couple of days in the Pacific City/Lincoln City area with some old friends. It was a treat to see them all again. After a late morning catch up I headed out to see what I could find to focus my lens.
There is a little bay with a wonderful coastal scene just as you enter Lincoln City from the south and this is that scene. I spent quite a bit of time composing and thinking about how to present the image below. {100mm Canon R lens, ISO 100, f18, 10 stop ND filter, 30 second exposure}
As you can see in the image above the storm was on the way. It was not bad until I went south with the plan to spend a few hours shooting at Boiler Bay - it is certainly well named.
When I got to the parking area - which was pretty much empty - the storm had set in - rain and wind like I have never photographed in and it was starting to get dark. It was challenging-- wet camera, wet photographer -- Intense storm. The surf was pounding the rocky shore and the rain and wind just found their way into every nook and cranny in my rain gear. I stayed out for over two hours but the wet cold finally won out and I headed back up the hill to my dry warm car.
I took the image below from the headland at Boiler Bay. Many more breaking surf images to work up but just thought I would share this one. {100mm Canon R lens, ISO 100, f9, 1/200 second exposure}
As usual you can get a larger screen view by clicking on either image. Also I sure do welcome your comments here or via email. Finally I want to thank my friends for organizing this gathering - much appreciated.
