#27 – Beach Bokeh
07.29.2010 – 7:54pm – Gold Beach, Oregon – f/5.6 – 1/400 -0.33 Canon T1i – Tamron 18-270 lens
South of Gold Beach, Oregon, near the California border, we found this delightful beach. The sun was shining and these pretty purple flowers lined the highway along the beach. There were plenty of nice monoliths (huge, stand-alone rocks on the beach and ocean edge), so I framed this shot with the flowers in the foreground. I like the extreme bokeh (blur) that almost created a double image of the giant rock in the background.
