In between our vists to Cannon Beach and Bandon Beach, Oregon, we stopped to enjoy a sunset at Depoe Bay.
Depoe Bay is always so exciting with the crashing waves on all sides. They have a wonderfully big parking lot so it was no problem to pull in there with our RV, watch the sunset, have dinner, and continue on our way.
I took the opportunity to test out some high speed photography during low light conditions with my new Sony NEX6. I’ll have a full review coming up soon, but I think it did a pretty good job in this situation.
This photo was made at 1/1250 second, ISO 800, f/8 and I used Topaz Denoise in post processing. Please click the image to view a larger version.
This is gorgeous, Anne!
Thanks Laurie!
So beautiful!
Thanks Lisa!
Anne what a gorgeous image and so well framed.
I am considering a NEX 6 so will be very interested in in your upcoming review. Do you have a completion date?
What lens did you use for this image?
Thank you Gordon. I am hoping to have the camera review post out next week. For this photo I used the 55-210mm lens.
Anne, Your timing is perfect.
I am hoping you can devote some of your review to the usability of the NEX 6 vs other similar cameras with a touch screen, in particular how easy/difficult it is to move the AF point when composing through the view finder.
The “kit” 55-210 has done a great job in this image.
Many thanks
Gordon
Your photos are stunning. As always they leave me at a loss for words! This one is beautiful. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Thank you so much Mary, your comments are always appreciated.
Nice shot Anne :-). These new mirrorless camreas are quite impressive in their IQ. I’ve been reading some very favorable reviews about them. Wish I was on the road like you guys! Have fun.
Hi David, thank you for the compliment. I am pretty happy with my mirrorless system. I’m planning on doing a full review soon, but I want to make sure I have tried a number of techniques with it first. I hope you get a chance to go on the road, I highly recommend it 🙂
I love the detail in the waves crashing in the foreground and how the background seems to be covered in a faint mist, really beautiful.
Thank you so much Devlin! I always like how the backgrounds are misty in seascapes that have a lot of wind and waves. I can almost taste the salt!
I love the crisp spay in the waves breaking on the beach. Great shot Anne.
Thank you very much Charles!
