Can you see the roll of the surf way out along the edge of beach? Can you see the mist on the right near the land?

You can add any other comments too ;)

This is from a wonderful January trip I took to visit the playground of my daughter and her guy up in Oregon ... it's culture shock for this Texas native.

At this point, the sun had been painting very light shades of pink into the clouds for about two hours and now it was beginning to play with the gold. You can see hints of it on the sand dunes at the far right, center edge of the pic. The air temp is beginning to drop and the fog is anxious to take full advantage.

The couples were standing at water's edge in order to have the best view. Unfortunately we had to leave but oh what a joy to see this sight on this exceptional day of unusually clear, blue sky and very low tide.

Thanks for your help!

The first layer is sharpened twice with the second sharpening faded back to about 30%. This layer is about 80% opacity.

The second layer (applied last) is an auto-correction of the levels applied at 18% opacity.

I'd love to tell you the setting stats on this pic but ... antiquity is in the way at the moment and my program that stashes this info on my pc is unavailable.

Have fun!

Generally the comment has been it's too dark (which I think came from not considering that I was sitting in a tooo-well sunlight lit Starbucks) ...oh well and then there was the jpg I'd played with in cymk mode and forgot to change it back to rgb before uploading it ... yeah ... that'll do weird things on the web, too!

Thanks for the sanity check!

Oh, Maya, I found your redo of Eyes in your Gallery and made a comment ... so ... now it's back out in the discussion. It's amazing what crops do to point of view!

I'm ready to go back in real life and sit for hours ... in the summer ... believe you me!

This was one of those moments when I looked up and couldn't believe what I was seeing ... so beautiful ... and then just for an extra thrill the camera actually mostly captured it.

have fun,

I know what! How about I just go back and look for the one you're talking about. In fact, we'll meet you there! (send tickets)

Florence is kind of a wierd place for us ... a sort of place where we almost connect but not quite ... it's just a place where we realllly know that we are Texans away from home.

All the same ... I keep feeling that I'm getting cheated ... that there's something very elusive about Florence that I'm not seeing ... lol ... maybe it's your bridge.

I tell you what ... I was completely blown away driving down the coast line (ok riding in the back seat) from the north towards Florence.

I don't know if every photographer has this fever ... but I keep feeling like there has got to be a way for me to tie travel and making a living with photography together.

ah well ... in the mean time ... there's more art to craft!

Thanks for the monitor input ... i'm at this moment buring off pics and etc from my external drive in the hopes that it will replace my internal drive (i have to make room for windows and it's time to backup to cd anyway). It turns out that all my OS problems were really a hard drive going bad. but NO I didn't lose anything because it was all backedup on my external.

... if it doesn't work out ... well ... I really will always be sharing with my husband... all the time!

Anyway the monitor I did this ck for may be just part of a large lavender paperweight (it's an old sony vaio).

When I told my daughter (the one who's not a computer person) that I might have to share pc's with my husband, she said "eewww that would be like sharing a toothbrush for ya'll!"

Exactly.

oops another cd done ... gotta start another ... aren't you relieved ;)
