My photo
This is my photographer’s blog, for your consideration. I post some of my favorite shots here, usually along with some comments about how the photo was taken or post-processed. (Occasionally I have the vain thought that someone might like to read about that.)

If you like what you see here, feel free to check out my Flickr site and YouTube channel.

Cannon Beach Aviary

IMG_9271_cp

When people think of Cannon Beach, Oregon, I'll bet most of them picture Haystack Rock. And indeed, an edifice that resembles a huge pile of dry straw is hard to miss. But when it comes to counting photos, the number of my Haystack Rock pictures pales in comparison to the number of birds I have captured (photographically) at the artistic town of Cannon Beach.

Each of the photos except the signature Haystack Rock shot has at least one prominent bird gracing the picture. Even this one, in case you didn't notice:

The picture above shows a water fowl calmly riding in the wake of the maelstrom -- the same bird as in the previous photo in the Flickr set:

P.S. Did you notice that this posting does not have a single HDR photo? Nor anything in space? Yes, I do take some ordinary-exposure terrestrial shots! :-)
