Description
I’ve spent pretty much my whole life in a love affair with the Oregon coast. My grandparents lived in a beach house in Yachats and we would travel there almost every summer from Indiana. Once I grew up (something I’m still working on) I’ve tried to go back on a regular basis. Most of my explorations though were north of Coos Bay. Chrissy and I did drive all the way down the coast in 2014 but basically just passed through the southern coast. After seeing so many great images from Harris Beach and the Samuel Boardman Scenic Corridor I decided to make a special effort in October of 2023. That was the first year that I had my drone and I was planning to try to shoot the lighthouses from north to south. I got halfway through but managed to do a stupid pilot trick and crashed and lost the drone at Shore Acres. I still got some regular images with the standard rig but decided to go back in 2024 with the drone and a bit more experience and expertise. One can shoot the natural bridges from the observation deck near the road or brave the trail that these hikers took. I wasn’t quite that adventurous but the drone let me get this perspective which allowed some separation between the top of the bridge and the BG seastacks.>=))>
Specific Feedback
Added a tiny bit of canvas on top and boosted the contrast in the sky a bit. Should I do more to enhance the sky?
