I took these last Friday, I arrived at Hurricane Ridge around noon, after that I went to Sol Duc Falls, followed by Ruby Beach for sunset (that was the first leg of the weekend, the rest of the weekend I was in Oregon, I'll post those shots later).

#8, Ruby Beach - those of you who were there in winter may be glad to know that the lagoon is re-forming.

    Beautiful set Ron. I really like the subtle tones in the shots from Ruby Beach.

    Looks like you encountered similar conditions for your sunset as I did on Mount Hood. :cry

    Nice set, Ron!

    #4 is killer! clap.gif

    I'm unfamiliar with the lagoon at Ruby Beach, but am curious now that you mention it's reforming... what happened to it over the winter?

    Thanks Tom! It wasn't the most dramatic light display I had ever seen, and even though it was low tide all the sand was dry so there was no reflections. But it's still a fun place to shoot.

    Thanks?? :)

    The forecast looked promising up until Friday. After this I went south to Oregon in search of better conditions (which also didn't really materialize).

    A huge storm went through, and that lagoon was transformed into a creek/river that went straight to the ocean, the creek was about 1.5-3 feet deep depending (I crossed OK in boots). There was a ton of driftwood on the beach just west of the lagoon but it all disappeared with the storm. It would have been an amazing sight to witness that storm.

    Really nice series Ron. I'm sure you must have walked accross the fallen tree at Sol Duc Falls to get to a higher vantage point for your shot. Love Ruby Beach and the lovely C curve from the creek.
