Sunset, Lincoln City

There was a rare (for me) sunset while visiting the beach Saturday that I got to go chasing. I found a very cool overlook on a hidden corner of the back streets in Lincoln City, Oregon. I took a TON of shots with different trees as framing and using my fisheye lens. These both are mostly straight out of the camera.....I had to straighten them......but no other adjustments. I love them! (And I was surprised how well a fisyehe worked for this. First landscape with it. A couple other people there were missing out using a long zoom.)

Rough Seas

Another surf shot at Yahats, Oregon this past weekend. Very high tides and storms made for interesting water!

High Surf, Oregon Coast

New Year trip to the coast for the weekend brought full moon and storms. The result is extra high tides and rough seas. It was very interesting to watch the flow and crashing of the waves on the rocks. These high waves are on the rocks of the small coastal town of Yahats. There were quite a few of us just watching Mother Nature do her thing. It was extra nice to have a little sun break to get some dramatic lighting, thus negating all other high crashing wave shots up until then. Very nice, more to come in the next few days.

SunStreaks

A break in the clouds while at the coast this past weekend. Totally awesome.

Windblown

This little pine shrub along the beach and been badly beaten through the years. I liked the stark look and back light. Tells a story of a harsh life on the coast of Oregon.

Starfish (?)

We saw this poor guy on the beach, recently expired. I had never seen a starfish with only 3 ....arms. (?)

On the beach at Seal Rock. Very cool place and would take a couple days of good weather to get the images I want.

Birds over the Rocks

I don't remember the name of this sea bird, but there were a lot of them nesting with ghe gulls on the rocks at Seal Rock, Oregon
