Thanks. Yeah, an active ocean is often more photogenic, but this was sort of a learning shot.

Thanks!

This serene coastal scene captures dark, rugged rocks surrounded by a dreamy, mist-like veil of water. The effect, achieved through a long exposure, softens the ocean into silky layers of pale lavender and blue. The gradient sky transitions from soft blue at the horizon to deeper blue above, enhancing the tranquil, ethereal mood of the morning seascape.

Thankful for calm, beautiful mornings on the coast. This is a long exposure picture of morning on the Oregon coast.

This close-up image captures a dried and withered flower head, showcasing its curling, faded petals in shades of burnt orange and brown. The bloom is covered in fine, silvery hairs, and its stem is dotted with tiny dark specks. Set against a deep black background, the flower’s textures and decay are dramatically highlighted, evoking a sense of quiet beauty and the passage of time.

Approaching the end of the season for some things already.

This black and white macro photograph features a fluffy seed head covered in tiny droplets of dew. The monochrome treatment emphasizes the intricate textures and contrasts, with delicate water beads clinging to fine, radiating filaments. The central structure appears almost crystalline, while the surrounding fluff creates a soft halo effect against the dark background, enhancing the image’s ethereal and dramatic quality.

Once again inspired by a comment (thanks @rina2012.bsky.social‬), here is yesterday's post in black and white.

Thanks, that's a great motivator.

Thanks! I'll have to keep that hashtag in mind for future macro posts.

This close-up image captures a fluffy seed head covered in delicate droplets of dew. The fine, hair-like structures radiate outward from the center, creating a starburst effect. Each filament is adorned with tiny water beads, giving the structure a glistening, frosty appearance. The dark background accentuates the texture and subtle color shifts within the seed head, highlighting its fragile and ephemeral beauty.
