About this image
The coast of Oregon is rugged and beautiful, and many an evening can be spent walking along the beaches, exploring tide pools that team with life, or just kicking back and enjoying a glorious sunset. This spot in particular, in Cannon Beach, is especially popular for tourists and photographers. It's a real challenge to create an image that is compelling and peaceful, without being over-run with people. To create this image, I reached into my bag of tricks and pulled out a long exposure. A neutral density filter helped extend my exposure time, so that the water smoothed, and the people largely blurred away.
Haystack Rock is a 235-foot sea stack in Cannon Beach, Oregon. It is sometimes claimed locally to be the third-tallest such "intertidal" (meaning it can be reached by land) structure in the world, but there are no official references to support this. A popular tourist destination, the monolithic rock is adjacent to the beach and accessible by foot at low tide. The Haystack Rock tide pools are home to many intertidal animals, including starfish, sea anemone, crabs, chitons, limpets, and sea slugs. The rock is also a nesting site for many sea birds, including terns and puffins.

What my clients say
The photograph arrived on time and was beautifully packaged. This will be treasured in our home for years! Thank you for your expertise and for making this available.
Thanks Adam for capturing the Jens Jensen Winding Road. My wife and I have been searching for the last few years for some art that really took us back to Door County. This jumped out at us immediately. Now it sits in a place of prominence at our home. We’ll keep looking through your work for more from DC. Steve & Deb Winterhack

We choose a canvas print from our favorite place to relax- Door County. It’s simply gorgeous and reminds us of more relaxing time preCovid. The service and quality is excellent and would recommend Adam to anyone.
