Sandy Christmas, April 11, 2009
Lincoln City, Oregon (Taft beach, near Spanish Head)
Nikon D80, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 @ 70mm, f/8.0, 1/400s, ISO 400
Developed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.3, ACR 4.4 profile
Kind of hard to tell, this appears to be a Christmas tree buried in the sand. A small evergreen at the very least. Exposure to sun and waves is stripping off the bark and bleaching the underlying wood, as with any driftwood. It was a bit unusual to look at.
I'm not sure if there's a lot of appeal to this composition but when I saw the tree an image developed in my head. I didn't get the exact shot that I wanted because it was very windy and I didn't want to swap lenses. Despite that I've come pretty close to what I saw in my mind. Split toning and desaturation would probably smooth out the color imbalance that's bugging me.
