Photographing Secret Beach / Samuel Boardman State Park, Oregon

At long last, a from-the-field landscape photography video to share! In this video I visit Secret Beach, a magnificent stretch of sand, tide pools and sea-stacks on the Oregon Coast.

Very good info! I just look up a tide chart for 20 May 2023, the low tide of the month is actually the 21st and the following day which we will be there. Thank you.

[@demiloca]

omg - I just read your "about me" on your website. That's where I've seen your name - slideshowpro! I was an early adopter - if 2007 was early! Love your work...

[@599miata]

👍👍👍

[@ChrisHunt4497]

I love the shots you took I would never think to shoot seaweed that way. Inspirational 👍👍👍👍

[@barryobrien1890]

It's always a problem when you get to a new place to decide what to shoot. I find that's where practice and knowing your camera functionality and features really pays off. It's worth going out for a couple of practice shoots before going on a trip to make sure everything works and your settings are correct. Great video

[@josewantland]

WOW, Your images are amazing, Thank you for the tip on making the effort to get up so early to capture amazing scenarios.

[@oliverb.6332]

for me the sky is bright. But it's very difficult to take pictures around rocks ( shadows ). But it's a beautiful landscape. Greetings from germany

[@allidyne]

Very nice! I live very near this area and it's always a treasure, glad this was posted.

[@BillyVerden]

Finally!.. lol.. glad to see you out shooting again.. Great Video!

[@billbaker4970]

Nice shots Todd good to see your landscape photography again.

[@dominey]

Thanks Bill. Felt amazing to be shooting again!

[@Kimbuucha]

Toooooom! You were in my neck of the woods 😍 I definitely need to check this place if I ever go down that far down the coast. Enjoyed the video!

[@PMCN53]

I know where you are coming from when you say that you don't want to regret getting the right perspective, after travelling so far to get to a location. That has happened to me on quite a few occasions. The worst was when I travelled from Sydney Australia to Lofoten -Norway for a 7 day photography shoot. I now have a reson to go back there when the world gets back to some resemblance of "NORMAL". Love your channel

[@dominey]

Thanks Phil. Perhaps we should compare notes on Lofoten ;) I have my own redo wishlist from there.

[@altrujillo3566]

Nice work again, Todd! Good to see another video from you again. Can you share the name of the tide app you showed us early in the video?

[@dominey]

Sure. It's linked in the description.

[@gihanmn]

Hello Todd !, I am a new subscriber to your channel. I searched on youtube for photography post production and your " 10 Step RAW Photo Processing" video shows on top. Nice video, I learned a lot. I have a small problem, after editing what should I do to the .psd and .tiff files that create when export a RAW file from lightroom to photoshop ?

[@davemenard5089]

Great to get another film from you Todd. What a cool place to be, challenging for sure. How are you liking the flipping scene for stills? I’m waiting for the mega mega R and wishing for a 2 way flip screen instead of the full flipping lol. Not getting my hopes up, you know…… Canon

[@PMCN53]

A fantastic location Todd. Are you going to post the final image you took with the exposure stack & Focus stacking?

[@dominey]

You mean in the video? It's already in there. It's the seaweed covered one with the close-up before shooting handheld. If you mean Instagram, I haven't gotten around to it yet. :)

[@thomza]

Great video! What month were you there?

[@rnavarrete1956]

Greetings from Oakland, CA. You need to move to the west coast. 😉

[@Arcticfox7]

I think video and drone footage works best at Oregon Coast. Photos not so much. It's hard to find clean lines.

[@dominey]

I know what you mean. The sun is rarely in the right place too. Either too hot coming up over a hill in the east, or backlit/silhouette seastacks when setting in the west. Doable, but not optimal.
