Tech Info: Shot on Kodak Tri-X Pan 400. Canon EOS 3 w/ EF 85 1.8 USM lens.

We headed out to Cannon Beach for a holiday, of course the cameras came with us and I got to try out some different film, the very old emulsion Kodak Tri-X. I wanted that old, grainy look to these pictures.

Start of Trip

It is a bridge. To me, it was a scary bridge. High off the ground, very old, and part of a highway near Portland, Oregon.

Arrival

The room was listed as having a fireplace, which was a good thing as our thoughts turned to hunger. The fireplace was there, but was a gas-model fireplace with a fixed glass face. We had all the fixings for smores, along with a few candles; so we made use of what we had and made smores the more creative, pyromanical way.

Main Attraction

The main attraction of Cannon Beach second to the beach itself, is a nondescript rock hanging out near the shore. According to the Chamber's Haystack Rock page, it rises 235 feet from the surface. It's a rock, and although everyone seems to think it is special, it hurts just as much as any other rock when your hit your head against it.

From The Beach


A nice waterfront house.	Tidal pool mid-tide.

Taking pictures of barn.

Jeeps and BMWs.

Frightened motorists nearby.

Much film wasted.

Cough.

This is a picture of a Weyerhaeuser facility south of Hoquium. This picture may be similar to one seen in the opening credits of the "Twin Peaks" television show, unintentionally.

After the Trip

Took this picture of I-5 at night. 8 seconds at f/16.
