Surf, Sand and Fog - Oregon

Carl's etherial image titled "Surf,  Sand, and Fog - Oregon" is awarded Second Place in the Annual Spring show at the Taunton Art Assn. in Taunton, Massachusetts.  The Trescott Street Gallery, which has featured Carl's work in the past, is showing the prize winning work from June 3rd to the 15th. In commenting on the award, Carl expressed his gratitude to the Assn. and Gallery for their continued support of the arts.  

The winning photograph was taken on an early morning near the Oregon / Washington border during one of Carl's "Grand Tours" of North America.  Carl explains, "I was taken by the subtle variations between sand, surf, and morning fog as I set up on a hilltop overlooking the Pacific. The scene reminded me of a Japenese watercolor painting.  The Low light required a tripod and cable release.  I quickly set up and took the shot.  In an instant the scene had completely changed.  Once again I was glad that I had my equipment ready for quick use".
