Jason, nice work there - I love those rocks along the ME coast. Here's one of the cobble beach at Quoddy Light up north in Washington County on a cold November day. TK45 with a 75mm Nikon lens. Tmax 400, 4 min in Diafine.

Creek, marsh, lake, river, ocean – show what you’ve come across at water’s edge.

It’s the transition – water to land – that produces so much fun drama for this photographer .

I’d enjoy seeing your favorite examples.

Along coastal Washington, I find a lot of weird stuff arriving on the tide. Not all of it’s worth a sheet of film – last week, I picked up a rusty soda can (I think) with Japanese writing. But so much of what I discover is. And of course the tide tosses-up new subjects every day. Make that twice a day.

This gigantic trunk floated out of the nearby Olympic rain forest & crashed here – where the sun bleaches it against coffee-colored sands. Despite the difficult mid-day contrast and simple composition, I thought the primitive beat-up shape was still worth a shot. Looks like a dinosaur’s thigh bone. The left side is 7 or 8 feet tall! Wish there was something better for scale than my footprints passing by in the foreground.

A month later the log was gone. It will return some stormy day.

Nice use of subtle soft focus. Works wonders with the various rock textures. Another JP classic!

Below is crop from the full resolution. I should compare my image with theirs



I wish there were some clouds to balance the image but it was a clear day and there were zero clouds around.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I'll develop another batch tomorrow.

I posted this in the Salt Paper thread at the beginning of the month but I am the only photographer printing in salt. Not that I'm looking for competition

This is a Canon G-9 P&S digital shot of the framed print hung on a wall and not perfectly flat at that. But if you look closely you will see a dark band of clouds stretching across the distant horizon with a small white cloud slightly ahead on the left side. This system brought an inch of much needed rain to Oakland and over a foot of snow to the Sierra later that evening and the next day.
