Bandon is one of the most photographed landscapes on the Oregon Coast. Little wonder since beautiful ocean vistas are just outside the hotel room window. This photograph was literally taken from our hotel balcony during a foggy early morning shoot. I’ll have to say working from a hotel room is not my usual venue but it’s hard to beat the comfort and convenience of freshly brewed coffee literally steps away and working in your pajamas!
The flowing patterns in the water, the most compelling part of the image, were captured with a 4 second exposure. The fog adds a great mysterious feel to the scene.
Most of the sea stacks on the Oregon Coast are a part of the Oregon Coast National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The refuges offer sanctuary to marine life including scores of nesting seabirds. To protect the wildlife most of the rocks and reefs are closed to public entry year around. More information on the refuges and best viewing areas can be found here:
