Golden Hour On the Oregon Coast

My main exposure here was 1/8th of a second at f/16, ISO 200, and that produced a useful result, but HDR processing in Photomatix provided more shadow detail and highlight color, for a better overall result. The images were adjusted in Adobe Lightroom prior to HDR processing, then additional adjustment was conducted afterward as well.
Sometimes the most interesting photos we take are form a new location, or from a fresh look at a place that we haven't visited in a long time. In 2018 I took a 2000-mile road trip to revisit some of my favorite places in Oregon. Although I lived in Oregon for years in the 1980s and revisited a lot in the mid to late 2000s, I hadn’t been to some of these places in years. I had a great time on this latest lap, but even with 2+ weeks it wasn’t enough time, so I’ll just have to go back soon!
