Sunset in Bandon (Oregon Coast)

coscorrosa · May 7, 2010

I made my first trip to Bandon, OR last weekend (taking an indirect route through the Columbia Gorge, Crater Lake, and Redwood National Park). It was worth it as I was treated to a great sunset as a storm was clearing, here are some of my favorite shots from that night.

Beautiful images as always Ron.
Particularly like #1 & #4.

Beautiful images - I love every one! Can't wait to get back there this summer.

#1 is exquisite! Will you please take me along on your next trip? I will carry your tripod!

Nice series, Ron--thanks for sharing your great work always, and letting us see the wonderful places you visit!

Nice pictures as usual, Ron. I particularly like #1 and #4. I like the subtle colors in #1 with just enough like on the rocks to begin to pick up details.

I like 4. Crop just above the bottom rock and a small crop off the top to make it more of a pano, I like that better.

Looks like a great place to be. We were there last summer, it was a fog fest...

Thanks for sharing.

These are my favorites however that double rainbow in #2 must have been incredible to see in person.

Wow those images are fantastic you are certainly on top of your photography taking shots like that. What lens and settings dare I ask?
Kind regards

All shots were with a Canon 5D M2, the first four with a 24-105 f/4 L, the last with the 70-200 f/4L. #4 had a 10 second exposure, the rest were around f/14 ISO 100 and whatever the evaluative metering said as the exposure length.

I really do appreciate that as I use 24-105 and 70-200.

Nice images!

Nice series. #2 and #4 are my favorites. Nice capture that double rainbow

chrismoore · May 7, 2010

Great shots , Ron. I missed you (and the good light, too, apparently) by a couple days. I've yet to go through mine, but looks like you got some nice keepers there.

squirl033 · May 8, 2010

gotta love Bandon... nice work, Ron. makes me wanna get back there myself one of these days...

anwmn1 · May 8, 2010

Great stuff as usual Ron. Really like #4 in this set.

coscorrosa · May 8, 2010

Thanks again to everyone for their comments and feedback. Bandon has the opposite problem of most beaches - too many seastacks! They sometimes get in the way of each other. But there are so many compositional possibilities, and throw in the variations with the tide, angle of the sun there should always be something interesting to photograph. I hope to make a return trip sometime this year (probably when shooting Crater Lake in the summer).

Sexy6Chick · May 8, 2010

That double rainbow shot is just..wow! They are all fantastic in their own way though, great job!

schmoo · May 11, 2010

Duuuuude the light totally follows you around!

Getting good light is like when I get my paycheck, it's less than I want and more than I deserve

I think Marc called it being a light-snob, I think I'm definitely at that phase now. There are many times when I don't get anything but I usually don't post them.

Very very much so with the light snob thing. Sucks that the longer you shoot, the less you shoot.

redleash · May 16, 2010

I want to be a light snob!

Doug Solis · May 16, 2010

Really nice series Ron. I'm going out on a limb here and picking #5 and my fav. It is really a moody shot. Brings the viewer right into the storm. This looks like it could have been taken at Cape Horn in a gale rather than OR. well done

Or rather, the longer you shoot, the less you keep. I take as many exposures as I ever did. Quantity might not equal quality, but at least I can control quantity!

I'll send you the application form

Thanks Doug! The light was really amazing, alternating between rain and sun and everything in between.
