Brings back memories. My grandparents had a few of these large oval rocks in their yard when I was growing up in CT. I remember asking once where they got them and they said Maine.

Your tranquil Oregon scene reminded me of this one “up the beach” in Washington, painted in high-noon contrast.

I tried to find log-shapes to “echo” the distant rocks: in this case, the bright log’s triangular tip (on left) points to the triangular sea stack; and the curvy log (high on right) mimics the black rock – but this may not be too apparent in such a busy foreground.

A yellow filter helped darken the hazy-bright blue sky . And my 240mm lens was so close to the logs, I had to use f/32 and generous front-forward tilt to achieve focus, near and far.

I was just out there this weekend! I haven't gotten my film processed yet though, so for the moment I can only show the small format shots... so I'll hold off until I get my film to a lab

Got to love the water. The first one is from a trip to Yosemite. At the banks of the Merced. The other two are from a trip to the Eastern Sierra. Lundy lake and Lee Vining creek.

And now I "just" need a better scanner to avoid having to stitch the scans...

Technika 4x5, Velvia 50 converted using PS B&W layer adjustment, don't recall lens or exposure details, Lake Michigan storm sky. Paula Chamblee suggested trying a crop without the sky, perhaps she should have suggested obscuring the entire image for further aesthetic improvement. Anyway, second image uses her aesthetic wisdom which is far finer than mine can ever be.
