    This picture was taken nearly 40 years ago during the later part of the day with a Pentax 6X7 medium format film camera. I scanned it with an Epson V600 scanner then converted it to black and white using Affinity Photo 2 editing software. I increased the clarity and contrast then dodged the sun rays for a more dramatic affect. I hope to return to this location some day to see what other compositions I can capture.

    The tide was coming in fast which made for great water movement. I found an interesting looking rock and set up my camera so the water flow would create nice leading lines to the setting sun. Camera settings: 14 -35mm lens at 14mm, f16, ISO 100, 1/2 sec shutter speed with a variable ND filter.

    I was inspired to take this long (30 second) exposure by Italian photographer Attilio Ruffo who specializes in long exposures. Prior to going to Oregon in May, I watched one of his YouTube videos where he displayed several pictures of his work. One of them was Multnomah Falls. This is the result of me watching that video.

    Title or Location: Crystal Cove Beach
    Even though there had been several cloudy nights in a row, I still went to the beach hoping for a nice colorful sunset. Even a cloudy day is a good day at the beach. High tide made for great water movement, and the texture of these rocks made for an interesting foreground element. If nothing else, I could do some good long exposure practice. About 5 minutes after the sunset time, the clouds parted slightly and gave this beautiful reddish glow, and fortunately I was ready. It was such a wonderfu

    Was lucky to have a meteor fly across the sky as I was taking this photo. I've always wondered at the night sky. Even now, anytime I see a meteor or even a satellite it still fills me with excitement. Astrophotography allows me to share that wonder and excitement with others.
