Spent the weekend at the beach, recharged my batteries and spent some quality time with my camera. With the rapid descent to the end of the school year now in full swing, I am clinging to moments such as those this weekend to keep in my mind as I move forward. This is a photo taken at Fort Stevens State Park, one of my favorite beach parks in Oregon. This is of the dunes on the walk to the see the sunset. I wanted to capture the soft colors and with a bit of tweaking in Lightroom to the basic settings it conveys the dreamy quality I felt when seeing it.  

Settings: ISO 200, 32mm, ss1/100, f/9.0 (cloudy wb)

"Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
