Not a unique landscape, not a unique style of composition, and not a unique image to my “portfolio” of puctures I’ve made. But dang, pretty hard to pass up shooting some great light over a coastal scene in Oregon.

Waves crashing upwards of 30 meters on a sandstone cove on a small cape on the Oregon coast at sunset. This image was shot in 2009, before I vowed to never step into this spot ever again. Several people had died due to slipping on the slick rock and falling into the ocean with no means for escape… one occurrence while I was in the area trying to make stupid pictures one evening. As a husband, father, and a dude who genuinely has a phobia of the ocean, I just can’t bring myself to risk it.
Anyway, on a completely unrelated note, I just released a new processing tutorial on www.ryandyar.com if you’re into that type of thing.

Rapidly fading light as dusk approaches in the massive and seemingly endless sand dunes of the Skeleton Coast. You can more of my images at www.ryandyar.com

On this windy evening many kilometers deep into the empty coastal dunes of western Namibia, sand flew across and over the landscape. The blowing sand being backlit by the rapidly falling sunlight created an ethereal atmosphere. This sand wasn’t just fascinating to watch, it also really pissed me off because it ended up in my eyes, ears and (somehow) the dark and sweaty bits below the belt. Chafing already sucks, chafing with sand on your “southern skin” makes for a truly horrible time.
If you’re interested in how a moron like me occasionally makes photos that aren’t horrible, you can learn stuff at www.ryandyar.com ❤️
