Love the long exposure effect. This would probably work even better in B&W since you could eliminate the strong cyan cast.:)

Very cool, Randy! I have a photo in my portfolio (I'd have too search it out...you know I have 42 pages...haha...) of a huge wave like this called 'Splash at Arch Rock', taken at Depoe Bay.
Coos Bay is one of my favorite cities on the coast since it is central to a lot of my favorite scenic areas. My late husband and I used to stay at the Thunderbird Inn there. I had one of the best steaks of my life at that restaurant.:)

I think this sort of thing reminds us the lad has always gone through changes, and we are lucky to have recorded them. On the bright side of this............... nobody can ever do the same photo better than you can. ;)
On the cliffs near where I live, I have another that is gone forever. This time it's just the elements on the coast and natural erosion.

If the link doesn't work, the image I am referring to is on page 3 of my portfolio. It's near the top and called The Three Treemigos. That is an old photo, but in the comment part I just added a recent photo showing the trees all gone and from about the same view. The lighthouse light is no longer used either, and that's kind of sad too. Glad I got those when I did.
There is a different angle of those three trees at the bottom of the same page.

The original image was taken 12 or 13 years ago, this image is from about one year ago.
The trees eroded off this outcropping rather quickly.
We used to climb up on this over 30 years ago.

Thank you for the comments. I didn't used to like this image so much because the original color was so unusual.
Making it B&W made such a difference.

WOW...You have my sympathy. I also have hundreds of slides, maybe even thousands, many of which have not yet been scanned. Of course now I shoot digital and am totally spoiled by it, but still love many of those old slides.
I the mid-80's when I was just learning photography, my late husband and I traveled through the Canadian Rockies and one photo was of such a beautiful scene, but over exposed. When we went back a couple of years later it was totally changed. I've tried multiple ways to 'fix' that photo, but nothing satisfies me, so I kinda know what you're going through.:)

Oh I wish......
This back road area was hit by a lot of road slides during a very wet winter.. I feel fortunate to have taken this image when I did. A couple of years later, it was turned into ugly rubble so bad that I couldn't determine within 50 feet of where the original stream was.
I guess this is a historical print now............ I have other images that can never be redone because of good old mother nature.
Not sure if I want to thank her or not. ;)
I have more images of this site....... somewhere...
.... but they will be for another day. Time of year is important for foliage and this particular place is in a deep valley rarely seeing direct sunlight. Usually the sky is the light source.
I probably have close to 500 yellow boxes of slides so it would take a while to look through them all. I loved my Kodachrome even with the narrow limits of it's contrast levels.

Thanks Shirley. All my images here are from Kodachrome 64 or 25, so contrast is a big issue with a shot like this one taken under some difficult lighting conditions.
I always exposed for the highlights and usually went just a tad underexposed to keep the colors saturated. I wished I had bracketed this shot and taken more images.
There is almost no detail in the darkest areas, so changing the contrast just doesn't seem to help much. I did try to use the burn/dodge tools from GIMP and that does have some effect. The alder tree is too blue to my eyes, but reducing the blue further hurts the greens. I might dabble with it a little more.
Thanks again for checking in and commenting.

Not a whole lot I could do about the deep contrast, but I tried a little and some slight color correction.

Thank you again Rashed. It was a wonderful morning hike over the hill to this area at Vulcan Lake. It's at the southern edge of a protected wilderness area. No tracks were in the snow meant that no one had visited this magical place for at least a few days or more. My recent photos with snow and ice are all at this same location. I have a few more images to add in the next few days of this place.
Thanks again Rashed.

Thank you very much eilian ei.
Normally I don't try to add much manipulation to my images. This one was sharpened, cleaned up and colored to make it better. I think the image actually wanted to be blue. ;)

Thank you so much Azra.
It's an old image taken in 1993. I had only hiked into this area one time. The brush was quite dense back then and I wonder how hard it would be to hike into that area now.
I will only guess that it couldn't possibly look better now than it did over 17 years ago. I'll let this image stay vivid in my own memory with no plans for a future retake.
