The view from First Beach, along the Pacific coast of Olympic National Park, was spectacular, especially after the sun went down, as we were treated to one of the most amazing cloud free displays of color I have ever seen. A 7 frame bracketing sequence was used to try to bring out all the amazing colors that were visible by eye.
It was almost impossible to put the camera away when shooting the sunset views on First Beach in Olympic National Park, as the colors and compositions changed depending on which direction you pointed the camera.
A 30 second exposure on the beach near Kalaloch Lodge (pronounced kuh-LAY-lock) in full moonlight shows the Big Dipper directly to the north. The large amounts of driftwood (some very big logs!) are a feature of many of the beaches along the coast of the park.
