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.

I had stopped to shoot the glistening water as we drove from the beach to have dinner in Bandon when this bird flew by and I luckily included it.

Our night at Beverly Beach had the best sunset of our spring Oregon coast trip. I shot a bunch of a couple of black labs chasing a ball on the beach. I took these with my iPhone and it was fun to airdrop them to the owners. Brothers playing with waves Final view of families on the...

More phone work with older found images taken in Olympic NP. Rialto Stacks Hole In The Wall I Hole In The Wall II Hole In The Wall III

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...

This didn't look like much in Bridge, my A7r2 exposed right made the sky look blown, but some heavy PP brought out the clouds.

My wife and I made it out to the Olympic Beaches for 3 days last week. This first post is from our 2nd day when we walked up Rialto Beach. Ellen Creek was flowing fast from recent rains so I had to cross a tricky log jam that my wife and friends declined. Only a few fellow dare devils got past...

One of my favorite spots on the Oregon coast.

Sand Point beach, Olympic NP

I shot this some years ago and have a nice canvas I printed of it hanging over the head of my bed. Hole-In-The-Rock_Pano by Jim Dockery posted Jan 29, 2018 at 7:46 AM

I've already posted a few shots from my recent trip, here is a final set in B&W. Sand & Water Turtle in the shallows Flying Home

I spent a wonderful 3 summer days at The Point of Arches a few years ago. The highlight was a hike south when we had the whole place to ourselves. The morning fog made for some great atmosphere and worked out for some fantastic rainbows through the trees as the sun streamed through. We had a bit...

It's taking a while to sort through all the chaff to get to the gems from my week of snorkeling. Here are a few more I just finished. Thanks to the comments on the last set I looked for those that separated the turtle from the background to find these. Maui-Snorkle-4.20a-(128) by Jim Dockery...

I've now been home long enough to process some RAW images on my computer (not iPad like the last ones). Color balance is tricky - I've been trying extra yellow and magenta to off set the blue and green underwater. Maui-Snorkle-4.16.18-(257) by Jim Dockery posted May 1, 2018 at 8:44 AM...

Two takes on this poser.
