About the Image(s)
I only started photography when I retired and started with some workshops. My second workshop was the Oregon coast where I fortunately got some images I still use today even though my skills at the time pretty well sucked. This is an image of a sea stack formation called the "sisters" in Bandon OR.
Canon 5D MkII? ISO 800 70mm, f18 (I said I was just getting started....), and 1/100 second.

Hi Michael. Great effort for a beginner photo! This image captures a beautiful serene moment with the sun rising gracefully behind the rocks. The colors give a sense of tranquility and balance. From my perspective, reducing the amount of sky could further enhance the overall composition. Nice job! Posted: 12/10/2025 14:36:11
I do appreciate the power of the complimentary colors orange and blue. Even with the sun up the sea still has some dark blue hues that keep the orange from over powering the entire scene, and I like that the sun is not blown out. I'm going to agree with Barbara about too much sky. Did you include a vignette? The 4 corners seem to have bit darkness to them. Posted: 12/13/2025 20:03:22
Wonderful sunset. I can almost hear the waves crushing on the beach. The strong difference in the texture between the rocks and the soft sand makes me want to touch the sand. I love it.

That's a beautiful scene. I love the light and the way it reflects on the wet sand. Posted: 12/18/2025 21:41:47
