I spent two days getting hammered by sea spray, rain, and hail that comes with standing in a winter storm on the Oregon coast. But in between all that, I got to see these monster waves break hundreds of feet hight. For scale, the top of the cliff where the people are standing is 100 feet high.

What I noticed from my limited experience shooting these waves is there’s really two main things that create interest in a Shore Acres Wave photograph: form and power. Sometimes there was a huge volume of water but with no form. And sometimes there was a beautiful shape to the splash, but no volume. Getting both at the time same time was more of a challenge but creates the most visually interesting photograph.

I also liked these conditions because the blue patch of sky and the low December sun side lit the wave perfectly, really driving home a nice contrast and separation.

I spent the last few days with some friends shooting the amazing Shore Acres Wave. The ocean was an incredible spectacle with swells between 20 and 30 feet. I was privy to light that changed as fast as the moving storm. It was hard to determine whether the moisture in the air was coming from above, or carried across the sky from salty waters below. It wasn’t a matter of getting drenched, it was how fast you got to that point.

These conditions almost claimed my camera as much of the sea spray was forcing it’s way under my storm cover, creating a greenhouse type effect from the surrounding moisture.

Enjoy this one and others to come from this awesome display of the raw power of nature.

Green Dream by JohanEickmeyer

Notice of alteration. The little road behind the tree has been removed in one section. I felt it always detracted from the artful composition of an otherwise great scene. It’s not something I would usually do, but if done, I will disclose the changes.

Let me know what you think! I am still not quite sure if this image has been framed the best way or not, so I would appreciate feedback if possible.

Thanks for looking!
Johan

Desert Brew by eyeofalens

Desert Brew

One of many taken in Death Valley
on my 2nd evening here & things got allot more moodier than this,
& the winds were just howling.
It was surreal being out here with no one else around, other than watching people leaving in the distance as the sun faded away.
Walking back to the car in the dark, feels a whole lot further than when walking in during daylight.

Sand & Cameras don’t mix. but you do what you do.
Allot of places I could not access, as luck would have it a series of storms days before & the week before brought once in a thousand year level of rains ! roads washed out, no access.

Chaos at the sea by PDidsayabutra

Samuel Boardman State Park, Oregon. This shot is a reprocess from a trip last year at a location which is probably not for anyone who is fear of heights. Due to steep drop to the ocean on 3 directions (left, right, and front), it is simply a sketchy location with predictable results from falling (yike). However, the end results are really rewarding 🙂

Methow River In Fall by BrandtM

This is taken in the Methow Valley of Washington State. The fall color can vary widely depending on conditions and this years lack of precipitation muted much of the color. These trees, being on the water, fared much better and put on quite the display.
