Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken on location at an Central Oregon Coast waystop packed with three dramatic geological formations including Cook’s Chasm, Sprouting Horn, and Thor’s Well.

Time

Midday break after driving from Tacoma

Lighting

Overcast and rain actually helped significantly with this long exposure.

Equipment

Canon 5D Mark II Sigma Lens Tripod Natural lighting, no flash

Inspiration

This is a cannot miss stop on the Oregon Coast Scenic Byway, a segment of the world-famous Pacific Coast Scenic Byway. The power of the ocean is on full display and major contrast to the southern beaches along the route.

Editing

Basic post-processing was done on the RAW image including clarity and detail.

In my camera bag

Tripod, polarizer, and ND filters

Feedback

Long exposure to capture the action of the water requires either ND filters or sufficient low-light conditions. Check the tide schedule to ensure extra ocean power during high tide.
