The Oregon Coast
September 17 - 23,
2011
Along the Pacific Coast
of Oregon, the pounding waves have sculpted a seascape of rugged
and picturesque beauty. This is a world of sea stacks,
wave-carved arches, fog, crashing waves, and interesting bird and
animal life.
We will drive the entire Oregon Coast
and emphasize Cannon Beach with its dramatic offshore stacks, Cape Kiwanda
with its crashing surf, Bandon Beach with the largest concentration of
offshore rocks along the Pacific coast, and Harris Beach just north of the
California boarder.
The sun angles, tides, fog, clouds,
and surf conditions are some of the variables that will challenge your
photographic skills. We will explore these beaches at low tide when sea stars
and other tide pool creatures are exposed. Sunset photography is especially
dramatic . Backlit sea stacks form silhouettes against an orange red sky which
is reflected onto the beach and water in the foreground.
