Peter Iredale (Ship wreck)

[Red]

The Peter Iredale that ran aground and rusted away on the Oregon Coast

I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. What does everyone else think?

Not much, I guess

Well, there's not much left to identify a ship.

But it's a nice 'irregular shapes at the shore' picture :lol:

Best regards,

interesting shot. you can look at it for a while... which is good.

I like it. In B&W it's hard to tell what it is/was. Are the pieces sticking out all rust colored? How did it look in color?

They were mainly green with seaweed and other stuff growing on it

Here's a bit more of it. The other shot was taken from the other side and further forward to cut out the...bow? :confused:

that last one is a lot more interesting. would have been better if those kids werent there. ghost ships should be scaring kids off!

I too like the stirring mystery in these shots.

I agree about the kids, which is why I got the angle for the shot at the top. But I really like how much is happening in the bottom one. Several groups and individuals to look at

I think that the last shot is a great potential subject. What was the technique for that shot? If it were me, (and it might be, read on...) I would try the smallest apeture I could get, the lowest asa, an ND filter, and a tripod with cable release. Blur out the people walking around it they might disappear entirely, or they might show up as ghosts.

As for the "it might be" business - where exactly "on the Oregon" coast is it? I am going to fly into Portland then drive down to Sun River in a couple weeks. Will I pass this by?

There's a small town just south of Astoria, Warrington or something, which has a KOA camp. If you get to the campsite entrance and go down the road opposite it all the way to the beach, you've found it
