I took this photo in Lincoln City, Oregon, just last month. The old stump of a pier column, long washed away, sat before me on a winter's walk on the beach one afternoon. The image caught my eye because it was unique and it showed how nothing can stand the test of time. Wind, water, and all the other elements eventually wear down everything that stands in their way. The light in the photo, reflecting off of the water, gave the picture an enlightened mood, but the grey rocks and stump, both darker, counteract the light of the water and make this image, in my opinion, a neutral shot. Though neutral, it still makes me reminisce about those long, lonely walks on the beach where I would ponder the meaning to life, the universe, and everything. Thanks to "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", I have found this to be 42.
Great picture Sam! Perfect timing to take a pic! I would say this is a rule of thirds photo? Correct me if I'm wrong!
ReplyDeleteSam this picture is quite unique. And what you said about it was very interesting perspective on the photo and it makes sense. This photo reminds me of the times my family went to the beach and found logs and branches washed on shore. I would always wondered were the came from and can't help but thing of the journey they take to get to the Oregon coast. And some times we would run across rows of columns of logs worn down by the test of time and I couldn't help to thing about how the columns would have looked when they were new, maybe they were part of a dock or some other structure. Great find and excellent picture!
