Haystack Rock
I have many images of Haystack Rock and all of them are different. The light is different each time I go to Cannon Beach. Other differences that influence the final images are the tides and weather. I never know exactly what I am going to get, but I am never disappointed. I love the surprise factor. It makes me work a little harder at times, but that can be a good thing.
The morning that I made this image of Haystack Rock, a marine layer began forming and thickened throughout the day. You can see the haze forming just above the ocean and creating an interesting band that breaks up the blue of the sky and the blue of the ocean. As I set up for this shot, I watched the waves coming in and placed myself where I could catch the edge of the incoming water to create a line leading from the edge of the frame to sea stack, then I waited. The Needles, just to the left of Haystack Rock help to visually balance the composition.
