Evening Waves, Ecola State Park, Oregon
There is not much better than an evening stroll on the beach with the one you love! It’s even better when you have a camera to capture the light skimming across the waves as they crest then crash into the shore. It was a beautiful, cool evening near Cannon Beach where I was captivated by the waves. Christeena and I were out shooting together and having a great time. I kept coming back to the waves. As the sun lowered in the western sky, it just kept getting better and better. Timing the waves to get the perfect lines leading to the rock formations was critical, and challenging. Waiting and watching, that is the name of the game so often in landscape photography. That is the beauty of it!
I love being in the outdoors. I could wait for hours watching, feeling, hearing, smelling. I get all of my senses involved when I am out with my camera and try to capture images with feeling. When successful, the viewer becomes totally engaged in the image. They can see what I see, hear what I hear and feel what I feel. That is my goal. Not always am I successful. When I am,though, it makes all of the effort worthwhile. It is as though I am able to share a piece of my soul with the world.
