The Sea in Motion, Seascape photographs, Oregon Coast

by Peggy
(Coos Bay Oregon)

These sea pictures were taken just off the cliff's near Shore Acres State Park. I wanted some pictures that were not all big splash stuff, but just lots of action and motion in the surf...these are just a few.

Used for a painting study one looks for the lights and shadows in the water, the foam patterns, the run off from the rocks. It gives you a FEEL for the movement, it may or may not show transparency, or light thru the water action. watch how close the movement is in front of and behind , where is the light coming from, is the day clear, overcast, cloudy or sunny. Can you see those effects in the water and its movements?

And what actual color is the water, the sea has many moods and color will help show them...


Editors Note: All I can say is wow. I really need to get my bike packed up and get cross country to see these in real life. Powerful Stuff! Thanks for sharing them!
