This was another photo from the Oregon Coast trip and series. As I said on the Vacation Grass post, this was taken with my first digital camera. I thought the composition was pretty good on this, for a rookie like me, and that black and white not only diminishes some of the lower resolution issues, but I think really has a nice effect on the photo overall.
Guh… nothing like six more weeks of winter to get you thinking about beaches. THANKS Punxsutawney Phil…
Thinking of beaches, this is a shot I’ve always liked – from the Oregon Coast, which I blogged a little about a few years back. In fact, this shot, or one from the series, is in the template rotation for this site, the photos appearing randomly in the top-right of the page header.
Hmmm… I kind of like the challenge of sticking to a two-word title for photos I post here.
The grasses on the beach were something I hadn’t really seen before – maybe since most beaches I visited in my youth were on the Atlantic coast, but probably more that as a kid, I just didn’t notice the grass. I’m not necessarily the most perceptive type in all circumstances.
This was taken with my Olympus UltraZoom C700UZ, which I loved (and still do) though ultimately it didn’t carry the resolution to really make any photos great. I like how these photos came out, but wish now I had more camera power.
Here are the photo properties for this shot.
I can’t believe it has been over four years since this trip. Time to get back out there.
