"In the eye of the wind, there's no high or low, no floor or sky."
The sea stacks that Oregon has are second to none. So huge and
ominous. It's amazing to think that waves can cross even these
monoliths. This image was created just past sunset. It was a
cloudy overcast evening and the clouds were moving fast. The
calm waters here actually do not convey the ferocity of the waves
when I was shooting here. The waves were pounding the rocks and
their intensity was a sight to behold. This is a two minute
exposure just past sunset. The clouds were moving quite fast, so
they formed beautiful streaks. I didn't have to use an ND filter
since the light levels were very low.
