Haystack rock, Cannon Beach, Oregon
Windy day on Cannon beach, i've arrived at this locations around 3 pm, after walking from a close by village where i had to park the car. I almost thought i would not make it for sunset over there,as i was driving all the way from Columbia River Gorge,where i was shooting that same morning,but eventually i've made it, and boy, what a gorgeous scene.

Superb capture!!!

Wow!! (:

Could you post on how you got the close up shot but still kept the background in focus. It is a magnificent shot!

Karen, I’ve used manuel focus lens in this shot in particular. It can be achieved by using small Aperture like f/11 >F/16. Ans focus just after the log. It should get everything fairly in focus. There is a little longer way of doing it, which is taking 2-3 images with different focus point and blend them afterwards in Photoshop. Youtube is your friend:)
