Haystack Dusk +
Cannon Beach, Oregon
As the sun began its descent toward the horizon at Cannon Beach, the sky erupted in a stunning palette of oranges, pinks, and purples. I positioned my camera to capture the iconic Haystack Rock, its silhouette standing majestically against the glowing backdrop.
I focused on the reflections at my feet, where the colors of the sunset danced and flickered in the water's surface. The reflections brought a surreal quality to the image, blurring the lines between the sky, ocean, and land. Each wave lapped gently at the shore, creating a rhythmic melody that seemed to synchronize with my breathing.
With careful composition, I adjusted my settings to embrace the vibrancy of the moment. The light was fleeting, and I knew I had only a short window to encapsulate this dance of nature. Each click of the shutter was a tribute to the ephemeral beauty that unfolded before me.
As the sun dipped lower, the reflections intensified, creating a mirror-like effect that emphasized the tranquility of the scene. In that moment, I felt a profound connection to the landscape, capturing not just an image but a memory etched in time. The resulting photograph would serve as a reminder of the raw beauty that exists on Cannon Beach, especially during those fleeting moments at sunset.
