Recently I visited the southern Oregon coast twice and made another trip through central Oregon up to the Palouse region of eastern Washington.
The southern Oregon coast from Brookings up to Reedsport is known as one of the most photogenic coastal regions in the world. With its quaint fishing ports, long sandy beaches, cliffs, rock formations, lighthouses, dunes and a distinct lack of crowds there are endless opportunities to make some great photos. I find the biggest challenge is being there when the nearly ubiquitous fog bank is not.
The Palouse region of eastern Washington covers a large geographical area in Washington, south of Spokane and north of Lewiston. In this landscape of gently rolling hills, farmers grow a good portion of the countryâs wheat crops. While interesting photography can be made here all year long the summer months provide the best opportunities. Late summer is the time when the wheat has been harvested and the fields are burned and plowed, creating a patchwork of abstract amber, black and brown shapes and patterns.
