And So Says The Legend
Ecola State Park, Oregon, USA
“The grandest and most pleasing prospects which my eyes ever surveyed” were the words used back in the 1800s by explorers who saw this area first the first time. And for me, as a landscape photographer, when I read such words, I have to see such a location! Right?
After a very disappointing visit to an extremely busy Cannon Beach, I decided to drive a bit more to the north until I reach a much quieter peninsula on which is located Ecola State Park. I spent multiple hours exploring the beach for photographic potential. Even though I knew tide was coming in, it can always be tricky to anticipate which part of the beach will later be underwater. That also means it can be risky to walk somewhere and later being trapped there because tide is too high. Always look for tide charts when you are in such environments.
Then I came across that arrangement of rocks which a few hours before sunset were just part of a sandy beach. But as the tide was coming in, they became part of a pretty interesting foreground. I had to capture the incoming waves bouncing against them rocks. I wanted to frame the scene with one boulder at each ends of the image. To make sure I had the ideal shutter speed for the effect I was looking for, I snapped my Kase Neutral Density filter on my lens. I wanted to feel the waves just enough to give impact to the foreground. I had my waders on, my camera was mounted to my tripod and I was riding the shutter as the waves were coming in. As opposed to what some people might believe, my camera did not receive a single drop of nasty salty water…
And as a bonus, we could hear a couple noisy birds on the sea stack which probably just came back from a good day fishing…what a life! What a great way to end a day on Oregon’s beautiful Pacific Coast!

Acrylic Face Mounted Premium Fine Art Non-Reflective Finish
Definitely a favorite of mine! First of all, it looks absolutely gorgeous! It’s a very slick and modern looking product! Metallic paper is used as a medium on which the image is first printed. This type of paper makes the colors of the image look deeper and more vibrant! With my Acrylic Face Mounted Premium Fine Art Prints, the print itself is sandwiched between a clear 1/8″ acrylic and a 1/8″ aluminum backing. The addition of the acrylic in front of the print adds so much depth to the image, giving it an almost 3D feel. It’s not a 3D print…but the acrylic gives an effect of depth. On the back of the Artwork is a mounted aluminium backing on which a slim square aluminium frame will be mounted. This frame not only serves at adding rigidity to the Artwork but it also allows us to install all the necessary mounting hardware for a super easy and hassle free ready to hang installation to your wall. If you plan on hanging you investment in a reflection sensitive area, NON-REFLECTIVE is definitely the way to go! As the name says, NON-REFLECTIVE basically means it will be reflection free.

You will have some reflections with clear acrylic but the blacks will also be slightly deeper. The same Metallic paper will be used as a medium.
