One of our first stops during our summer road trip to Oregon was the Oregon Coast. Apparently, I haven’t learned anything from our past trip and we drove straight into massive Pacific fog formations just like the last time. In case anyone is wondering, most of the stunning coastal shots of Oregon are taken in fall when the weather is most cooperative. This time it was quite a shock to see 35F summer sunrise temps on the beach.
This shot was made at the Cape Perpetua overlook near Bandon. I had this spot in mind since our last visit but time constraints didn’t allow me to venture here the last time we visited. This time we managed to reach the spot just before sunset as the fog from the Pacific Ocean slowly started to engulf the coast. I really liked the moodiness of this scene. Hope all had a great 4th of July week.

Another shot from the stunning Cape Perpetua outlook on the Oregon coast. We originally planned a sunset shot here and for once was at the outlook point on time. But the summer fog got in as it got closer to the sunset time. One thing I admire about landscape photography is the unpredictability of nature. You go to a location with a shot in mind and only about 20% of the time nature will cooperate with you and provide an expected scene. But as I do this more I am noticing that an unexpected weather often provides much better options than the expected one and make landscape photography more exciting.
