This is an image from an epic weekend shooting on the Oregon Coast. This shot was taken at sunrise on Bandon Beach. It is an incredible shooting location that is even better when the light is great, as it was that morning.

As I approached the location, my first thought was about the light. After a few images, I realized there was a chance to create a powerful leading line with the foam from the tide. I shot numerous images from the location and hoped for the best.

When I reviewed my images after the shooting, I was thrilled that one of my images turned out exactly as I had pre-visualized. It doesn't always work out this well, but when it does, it's magic.
