I love shooting on the Oregon coast. There’s so much pretty scenery! I forgot my ND grad filter and tried some HDR (three frames, different exposures, blended in PS) but didn’t like the results. With no ND grad, I prefer getting a medium exposure then tweaking with curves/levels adjustment layers. That’s what I did for the above shot anyway!
This above photo isn’t anything special photographically– but it’s a super cool spot on the coast. Devil’s Cauldron. You have to hike off 101 to get to it. You can barely peer into the cauldron because getting close to the edge is hella dangerous– any slight misstep would mean death for certain. It’s a very humbling spot!
