Second Beach, Olympic National Park, Washington, USA

Nikon D3x, 14mm, blend of two exposures at f/16, ISO 200

Fantastic cloud formations catch late-evening sunset light over one of my favorite beaches in the Pacific Northwest. This one is from almost a year ago. Thanks for looking!

Joseph Rossbach and I are offering a three-day Olympic National Park workshop in May, during which we will photograph this beautiful beach, as well as many other beach, rainforest, and alpine scenes.

Those clouds streaking over the top make this one for me. A fine comp and the blend looks good and natural, too. A moody Mody!

Very nice, Alex. I've seen quite a few photos of this place but none quite like this. Those clouds are amazing and seem to crown the sea stack.

The sky here is phenomenal Alex. One of the most spectacular beaches I've ever visited. Can't wait to return someday!

Beautiful location, love that sky. Also like that you left the shadows an honest black!

Those clouds are really cool looking! If it were mine I might try to lift the shadows in the immediate fg just a bit to balance things out a little more. Nice work.

The radiating clouds are wonderful Alex. Beautiful golden light and a very natural looking scene.
