Moose Peterson, Bandon Beach | explora

Source - It started out being overcast. Standing on the bluff overlooking the beach, I wondered if venturing down the cliff was even worth the walk. I thought, “What the hey…” and down I went. The beach is wide and flat, and at low tide, it becomes a giant mirror that just invites the wide-angle lens.

I was shooting with the Nikon 14-24 AF-S and D3x body, and capturing the reflections required getting down low. I would be walking backwards with wet knees and a soggy rear end, but after all was said and done, the photos would be worth it. As it turned out, the overcast sky started to break as the sun was heading west. Then I searched for a stretch of beach with the most water for the biggest reflection.
