Cannon Beach with Haystack Rock, Oregon.
#TidesOutTuesday #RockinTuesday #EastCoastKin #SensoryArt #lines #ClassicMono #Black&White #monochrome #photography #reflection
This photograph shows a shoreline scene of the Pacific Ocean in Oregon. Lines dominate this composition. The horizon line, the line of the surf washing onto the shore, and lines between the clouds that are in the sky and also reflected onto the wet sand. Haystack Rock stands out as a focal point with its interesting shape and dark value. The textures in the foam on the water and the clouds create balance with their organic patterns. This photo is far more interesting as a black and white image because the lines, textures, and values stand out more without the distraction of color.

Water Runoff Trough
I saw this on my #DailyWalk. There are so many ponds & creeks around here (and lots of rain), so I guess this drain is for overflow. #Lines #LeadingLines

So I selfishly chose this week's #sensoryart theme because of a bunch of the pictures I took this week in hopes I had time to post them. 🤣
Can't wait to develop my film roll from it.

No one loves a #line as much as photographers

We like them all, #leadinglines, lines for rides, services, events, new products etc. There's always a shot available with them.

So let's see your lines for #SensoryArt this week
