Incisive

The Needles, Cannon Beach, Oregon Coast  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved
(Velvia slide film)



Sharp teeth penetrate a moody sky. Rocky pinnacles, called the Needles, 
provide pointed subjects for an overcast day along Oregon's Cannon Beach.

    Those rocks look so sinister. A ship navigators nightmare.

    Great evening light on a lump of rock that looks soooo similar to the one on our beach.

    I sometimes miss using Velvia! I love that the natural contrast of that film has left no shadow detail in the rocks, resulting in those stark, ominous and jagged black masses and a very atmospheric image.

    Basically, two colors and their shades but what a result!

    Ha.. Not the teeth from the white albino we saw the other day, right? ;o)
    I have seen the Needles (maybe the original?) in the Isle of Wight.
    Strangely, they are white as the albino alligator!

    That part of England is famous for white chalk cliffs.

    An amazing sky above some often-shot formations makes this an outstanding photo.

    a powerful photo, made beautiful by the result of the intense blue of the shadows

    Awesome capture that spurs the imagination! Guards of the land in front or invaders with menacing intentions…
