Day 4 – Yaquina Head Light

Yaquina_Head_light

Driving to the coast today I saw many beautiful sights but found few convenient places to pull over for a picture. And the rainbow coming out of Florence looked like I was driving straight into the pot of gold but no way I could stop in the middle of Hwy 101. Then I checked into my room and found this, yes distant, view of the Yaquina Head Light and knew I was saved. I have to say, though, it looks much better in the full resolution version.

I used the EOS M again with the new telephoto lens. Shot handheld at ISO 800 f8 at 1/160sec. In post processing I did noise reduction, sharpening, some exposure adjustment and saturation and added a warming filter. Oh, yes, there was some cropping involved and I edited out some distracting elements. Now, can I go to bed?
