Image taken on October 5, 2013.
I've moved up to Seaside in northwest Oregon and had one evening to photograph along the coast before more nasty weather moved in. This image from Ecola State Park is looking almost south along the coast. There was intense color to the west, but I didn't like the remnants of contrails filling the sky in that direction. My selection of graduated neutral density filters wasn't quite right for this image, made shortly after sunset, because the foreground was too bright. So, I had to undo some of the effects of filtration in post processing to create a more natural looking scene.
