About the Image(s)

This image was shot with my DJI Mavic 3 Classic. This is another image of Cape Kiwanda near Pacific City on the Oregon coast. In the top right corner is the "other" Haystack Rock (the more famous one is in Cannon Beach).

Camera settings: 24mm equivalent focal length, ISO 100, f/5, 1/60. I believe I had a polarizer on. The original .dng image was processed through DxO PureRaw.
I adjusted the WB to the cool side, increased color saturation and vibrance, adjusted shadows and highlights, and created a mask on the sky to reduce exposure and highlights. I used the remove tool to make some minor changes.

Hi Patrick, nice seascape image. I think the two main points of interest are the two islands and not so much the background land. Not being there I don't is this is possible, but if you could get a position where you have clear sky behind main island making the pine trees on top stand out more it would enhance the image. Otherwise good light on the rocks and surf, well done.   Posted: 10/08/2025 15:51:56
