That Special Place

Photo Location: Oregon Coast

Magic from the Coast of Oregon. I've been to this place many times, but could never get good looking clouds in the sky. Even though that is not what the weather app would promise. This time it was different. The weather app promised clouds and possible light rain throughout the weekend. So I decided to get into my car and start driving. It takes me 12 hours to get to this location from where I live. I left at around 1pm on friday, drove till 4 in the morning and made it to Brookings Oregon. Took a 2 hour nap in the car and went to this place at 6 in the morning to capture some photos. This time the sky didn't disappoint. The clouds were perfect and there was a little color in them brief moment from the sun rising over the mountains from the east. I had a vision of this image for few years, I kept going there on multiple occasions, but without luck. This time my quest is finally over. I was able to get it the way I always wanted.

Landscape photography is not a simple feat. It takes patience, persistence and lots of time. If there was a full overcast I couldn't have gotten this image the way it should be and would have had to drive back empty handed and try again. As photographer I am dependent on the elements of nature when shooting coastal and landscape scenery, but that is something I can not control. And lots of time its God, luck and divine interventions that make it happen! I just know I have to stick with it! Enjoy this master work!
