Description
It was springtime in the Pacific Northwest, and the weather lived up to its reputation with rain on and off all week. On the last afternoon, the rain stopped, and I made the long hike up the soft dunes and over the sandstone to this incredible vantage point. From the top of the cliffs, I had a view of the sea stacks, rock formations, and most impressively, the crashing waves below. In front of me, the sun was starting to drop in the sky, with sunset only an hour away. To my right, a massive rainstorm was quickly approaching. I could see the bands of rain in the distance and the clouds changing from light to very dark.
I used the last light of day, along with a stack of ND filters, to create this work. The rock directly in front of me was glowing from the last bit of sunlight piercing through the clouds. As you pan across the scene, it turns dark with the coming storm. The long exposure and the drastic change from light to dark create an almost ominous feeling, making this one of my favorite photographs.
