An early morning stop in Astoria, on a recent trip to the Oregon Coast. I woke up crazy early on the last day of this trip, and when I looked at the weather outside, I noticed a little fog.

My plans included driving through Astoria, and I thought, I bet the Astoria-Megler bridge will look cool in the fog and here's the result.

I set up my fave tripod (Bucky!), and created some longer exposures. This allowed me the opportunity to slow down the water and let the fog really sink in.

I'm not sure I'll ever tire of this spot on the Oregon Coast. Likely one of the most photographed rock formations in Oregon: Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach.

I've been to this spot at least 15 - 20 times over the years.

So, when you've been to a spot so many times, how do you find a new way to photograph it? In this instance, I'm using a bit of a slow shutter speed and moving the camera to create a slight sense of motion blur.
