    Haystack Rock - At Night

    Hoedad, one of the helping factors in getting the foreground lit up is that there was a city behind me. Also, there was a large moon that kept peeking out from behind clouds. However, I normally prefer NO moon as it causes the lesser stars to be harder to catch. DO go try that lake!!! :D

    Haystack Rock - At Night

    Because increasing exposure time beyond 30 seconds results in unwanted trails. In fact, even at 30, I got them starting. :( I didn't want dashes. I wanted dots. :) Now of course SOME day I want full circles. But again, no dashes.
  5. Ripples

    Ripples

    Just after sunset, and before the stars appeared. Shot at F7 and 20 seconds hoping to get some blur in the waves. Got a little.

    Starry Starry Night

    Haystack Rocks long after sunset. The moon was one day shy of being a full moon, so there was lots of light.

    Haystack Rock - At Night

    Thanks, guys. Hoedad, is there a particular shot you wanted to know on? Most were shot that night at 30 seconds, and between F2 and F12 depending on the time of night and moonlight (behind clouds or out). Most were 160 iso. I was letting my husband use my 10-22mm lens on his Canon so I used...

    Cedar Creek Grist Mill

    Beautiful series. I especially liked the first shot (with the customers) and the flume shot. On the second to the last one, I noticed that is the angle that is most common and yet there is a branch hanging down and dipping into a large chunk of the mill. GREAT thing that the branches are bare...

    A couple from Malheur NWR

    BEAUTIFULLY captured. Yellow headed black birds are very common where I came from (California desert along the Mojave River). They would literally(!) eat out of your hands like the seagulls at the college campus. I have photos in fact. What I found weird is I have not yet seen a single one...

    Haystack Rock - At Night

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR FEEDBACK! I see what you are saying. I will go with my first guess and say freighter. He had almost convinced me that the light moved THAT much because we were moving up and down the shore a lot (and we were)....but yeah. The light is moving. You are right about...

    YES!!! I was hoping when I opened this I would see those amazing green eyes. You did not disappoint. Bravo.

    Haystack Rock - At Night

    Thanks, Rocky. The bright white squares at the bottom is some signs on the rock. Should they disappear? The moon was 99% last night on top of having the lights from the city. The small white dots are seagulls. ALL over that rock. At 100% of image size pre-edit I was looking for the puffins...

    Haystack Rock - At Night

    Thanks, Sam. :) I thought I would try the shot of the bonfires. You can see the kids moved a lot. Also, you can see other fires up the coast. More picture tomorrow. My hand is swollen. Time to step away from the computer. And as a note, I had a LOT of noise in this shot. I tried to denoise...

    Haystack Rock - At Night

    I spent yesterday and this morning at Cannon Beach and Ecola. Was pleasantly surprised when the solid mass of gray clouds broke up and revealed blue skies. We walked a total of 4 miles (two round trips) from the hotel to the rocks yesterday. I am old. I am really really old. This I know...

    Quick trip thru Ridgefield

    I am so absolutely JEALOUS of this series! WOW!!!! I have driven through that loop for three years and NEVER seen a heron with a snake. Your being in the right place at the right time was spot on. Hope you bought a lottery ticket on the way home. :D I just shared the link to these photos at...

    Swimming at the Needle

    Creative capture. Really like that first one. :) Now Bob. You know not all of us PNW'ers are used to that whole camera in WATER thing yet. Just today I bought my first hooded jacket so my coworkers will quit teasing me about my umbrella collection. If it helps, I am going to the shore this...

    Odd man out
