Bandon is one of the best sunrise spots on the coast in my opinion. Sunsets are too easily busted by fog, but sunrises always seem to work out - no matter what the conditions are.

I think this is an interesting shot. A very different composition. It almost has a large format feel to it. The light hitting the offshore stacks is great, as is the sky. I just wish you had included more of it. seems a bit cramped up there. Overall, I like this though. I never get tired of Bandon.

Nice shot, but I wish you had posted a larger image. I get the feeling this would be very impressive at 800 pixels across or so.

The lighting on Face Rock and the reflections are excellent.. can't wait to get their the last week of this month!

Nice exposure control, Andrew. I like the immediate-sand patterns.

This is very nice as is but I'm wondering if you took any verticals to take advantage of what looks like a great sky.?
