Jane left yesterday ..we had a pleasant morning of conversation , then went
out to lunch at one of our favorite Restaurant's in Depoe bay called the Sea Hag
. By the time we got to Depoe Bay the tide was almost fully in , the sea was
still unsettled from a low pressure disturbance off to the West and the waves
were hitting the seawall in front of the Downtown area and some waves were
misting over the highway . Quite a sight . The restaurant is quite popular but
this time of the year ...its pretty easy to get seated , we had a window view of
the bay . Lori and I had our favorites Clam Strips and fries , and Jane opted
for the Fish and Chips ( Cod ). We like the Sea Hag because the food is fresh ,
it is well prepared , the Clam strips are full size strips of clams gently fried
.
We said our goodbyes on Highway 101 with the crashing surf in the
background ..and a light mist hovering around our heads . I had planned to go
straight home but the sight of those breakers ..made my shutter finger itch and
Lori accompanied me to an overlook where I left the care and hiked to a vantage
point,
The breaker shots are very difficult for me. The biggest issue is the
contrast . The camera has difficulty knowing what to expose for , the white of
the wave or the dark mass of lava rock the wave is beating against .
I find the best solution is to expose for the wave , the rocks look like a
black mass , but the waves are seen in much better detail .
I am very grateful for the time available and locations available to
continue to work on this ...type of shot.
I only stayed for a few minutes , but Lori suggested I simply take her back
to the house and come back ...the temptation was too great so I did just that
.
It was pretty cool, standing on the rocks watching the waves roll in
...makes you feel kinda small.
I stayed for about an hour , returned home . Lori was working on dinner ,
she has been cooking a lot in the house ..and she cooks very well . Last night
was Spaghetti, meat sauce and mushrooms with tossed green salad and cheesecake
for desert . we watched the waves for a little bit , enjoyed the ships out on
the sea ..with their bright lights visible on the horizon and then spent some
time watching TV.
It was a very enjoyable day .....
