Nice pic Patrick! Great tones to the blue water contrasting with the gold of the beach. Of all the times I've been to this site, I've never taken a pic I was pleased with showing the coast line to Haystack Rock... #33186Karen Seargeant May 26, 2019
What a beautiful shot, Patrick! #90719Damian P. Gadal May 26, 2019
This is beautiful Patrick! Good job! #90724Patrick Campbell May 26, 2019
Thanks Gordon, Karen and Damian! I took this in August 2001, two cameras ago. The color balance, color saturation and sharpness were adjusted a little. I also had to clone out a shadow from my hand being used as a lens shade in the upper right hand corner. I grew up in Portland, OR, and am familiar with Cannon Beach from those days. It's a little busier than I remember, sigh.... #90732Jill Battaglia May 26, 2019
Beautiful!! Nice and sharp! :-) #90868Patrick Campbell May 26, 2019

Thanks Betsy! #91301Bernard B. Travers May 26, 2019
Ah yes, my home away from home - The Oregon Coast. Well shot, my man. Well shot. #91325Patrick Campbell May 26, 2019
Thanks Bernard. One of my favorite places to visit too. #93717Patrick Campbell May 26, 2019
I forgot to add that this image is "as is", except for cloning out the dark spot in the upper right hand filter, no filters except maybe a polarizer, and minor adjustments to color balance and saturation (the camera photos tend to come out a little too blue and undersaturated for my taste). When the light is right on the coast, it's fantastic! #105807Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
Beautiful beachscape, Patrick! Love the reddish evening light! #106894Gary H. Minish May 26, 2019
