I was visiting the Oregon coast for a weekend. I had seen photos of this site online and decided to see what I could capture during my brief one-night stay in Lincoln City.

The clouds made me think it was going to be a no show, but right at the last minute the sun popped it's head out for just a few minutes and gave me just the opportunity I was hoping for :)

Sunrise on Biri Island, Samar, Philippines. Nice smoothing of the ocean waves possible with a tripod and nice ND filter + polarizer, a little tricky since the RX100 doesn't come with support for lens filters ;-)

We had to climb down (and back up) this ice waterfall. It was not easy. There is lots of loose rock and debris making the climb life threatening. You only see part of it here. It's probably 70 feet tall in total.
