Hello Focal World friends, This is my second Milky Way photo. Taken at the same spot this year (previous post). Unfortunately the tree died in the meanwhile. Same exif. You can download this photo in HD

Hustle and Bustle at the Beach! :) A hopefully fun little video timelapse from down at Huntington Beach in California yesterday afternoon. Taken with the GoPro Hero9 in Timewarp (timelapse) mode. All comments are welcome, Jim PS. Please Subscribe and Share this, I need help to get to 1000...

I think this is the rock that goes by that name near Bandon OR. There are a number of nice pointy rocks in the area near Face Rock.

My wife and I had never been to this beach in southern Oregon before our recent trip. Nice place, not many people, and supposed to be good for finding agates (Debbie found one). Mid morning light led me to convert to B&W.

My wife and I were at first a bit disappointed that our last full day of a week long vacation in Oregon was a stormy. We ended up having one of our nicest walks on this beach just south of Cannon. A bit of rain made it a fast and exciting return, but didn't result in an actual soaking. Of course...

We lucked out with some nice clouds at sunset the night we spent at the SP on the OR coast.

Another shot found in my iPhone from last year. Deception Pass State Park, WA

I recently cleared my iPhone photos to reorganize them and put back just the best. Of course I backed up to an external HD, and while culling out the good/meaningful shots I found a few that merited opening in ACR and Photoshop to edit, esp. with Silver FX which gives so much more control than...

Another shot from a few weeks ago at Woods Cove in Laguna Beach California. The clouds were a bit heavy on the horizon, the sunset never turned Nuclear but it still produced some nice color I thought. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is a kind of large Sea Cave, but not a very deep cave at Woods Cove in Laguna Beach. I didn't use any lighting in this, the Nikon D850 is just really great at Shadow Recovery which makes it so useful for these shooting locations. Due to the higher tide there wasn't anyone congregating in...

This is from last night at Woods Cove in Laguna Beach, California. We have been having rainy weather lately, and with that the clouds will break up a bit at times, and they looked like they would be scattered around sunset along with a nice tide. So I ran down there for sunset. The actual best...

The Focus this Friday is on Landscapes cousin, Seascapes. So our Seascape Focus is on Splashes! Dig through and post your wave splashes and add them to this thread. I will start with a few from a pretty common location in Oregon, Thor's Well. Jim #1 #2 #3 - Perhaps one of my all time...

From a few weeks or more back up along the coast in California by San Simeon. I found this cool spot that I liked. Usually I am shooting so slow for the water, that birds flying turn into smears. So it was nice for once to have been shooting faster as the birds approached. I think they add a lot...

Well, don't count too close. :eek: This was from a month or so ago at San Simeon on the California Coast, right below Big Sur country. The waves were coming in really nicely and hitting these rocks. All comments are welcome, Jim

Well, not totally pea soup, but it was foggy and misty at Pismo Beach last Christmas. I love driving up there to eat the clam chowder from the Splash Café, and the scenery up there also isn't half bad. :) This was about a mile down the cliff side away from the pier, I found it interesting just...

Out at Venice Beach, California last weekend I was heading away from the side show sidewalk area and down to the beach. There was this berm I spotted where it would silhouette people with the almost setting sun in front. I thought there were a lot of stories here. I initially composed it with...
