“For me, the camera is a sketch book, an instrument of intuition and spontaneity.” - Henri Cartier-Bresson

The Oregon Coast has some of the most beautiful scenery I
have ever seen. Our lodging had my wife and I overlooking this seascape when we
awoke! This room was in the light keeper’s house that had the pounding surf for
a wake-up call.
With tripod and camera in hand, I took a brief stroll to the
edge of the lawn. It was mesmerizing – almost hypnotic. Back to reality for
what I wanted from this seascape. The interaction of the waves against the
rocks became my focal point. Did I want its full force or a softening feel? As
you saw, I opted for the latter. Using my polarizer and a small f/stop, I was
able to dial up a one and a half second exposure.
By the way, this was a B&B that offered an EIGHT-COURSE start to the morning – see
why I can’t shoot at optimum hours!

"Skulled Arch" was an energetic hike up the face of this rock formation. Fortunately, my L L Bean hiking boots took the sliprock in stride going up and down. But, what a view!
