I’ve recently arrived to my new home in Portland, Oregon and the first free weekend I get I take my car to the coast in order to gaze across the mighty Pacific. However, things were not the same as they were in Portland. Instead of a blue horizon, I am greeted with a heavy fog. I thought all was awash (wish I had a better pun for this) until I drove a little ways north and past the rock formations near Crab Harbor.
After seeing the rocks from the road I immediately flipped the car around the first clearing I could get.
Clamoring down the slippery wet rocky embankment, trying to not break my neck or camera, I made to the rocky shore. Thankfully it was low tide (seems to be my luck) and I could make my way out to the rocks.
Tillered boats zip around in the heavy fog. I had to enhance this shot to make it a bit more visible.
The composition, along with the fog, was incredible. So much depth.
The hardest part was finding the perfect composition. I like this mixture of close up rocks and foggy pillars in the background.
The pulsing waters edge fades to nothing.
A seagull swims about looking for low tide scraps.
By now I’ve headed south and made my way around the three main pillars.
I was having a lot of fun playing around in the fog and rocks, until these bored kids showed up looking for some stupid treasure.
I was headed back home when a little further south of Crab Harbor I hopped out to take one last shot. From this shore bank you can start to make out the other side of the bay.
Wow man, great pics. I’m still waiting for Mikey, Mouth, Data and Chunk to come running across the beach with gold spilling out of their pockets. The fog is key… def gives this set an eerie feeling. Nice stuff.
Thanks Cary! I really lucked out on this one.
I think my favorite photo is the one after your seagull photo. The reflection in the water draws you in.
Thanks gBotner! 😉
