Old Jetty Pile at Beckett Point

This old jetty pile has obviously seen better days. Having served its role at Beckett Point in the Puget Sound area, now it stands guard as a work of art.

Olympic Range Silhouette

This is a photo of the Olympic Range facing west from Beckett Point on Discovery Bay, Washington State. The sun had not long gone down creating this silhouette of the range.

Beckett Point North End - Black and White

I thought this photo of the north end of Beckett Point, Discovery Bay, WA might lend itself to black and white, so here it is. What do you think? Here's the original color version of this photo taken at Beckett Point.

Beckett Point North End - Color

I took this photo at Beckett Point on Discovery Bay in Washington State from in front of the house at which I stayed facing to the north end of Beckett Point. It was early morning and there was still a bit of marine fog in the air giving the background an ethereal look to the scene and making the point appear to almost be floating on the water. The day clear to be brilliantly fine and sunny.

Sunset at Beckett Point #3

This photo was taken from Beckett Point Rd. on Discovery Bay looking north west. On the horizon is Victoria Island, British Columbia, Canada. The island rising on the right side of the photo is Protection Island. To the left side is the other side of Discovery Bay. You can put it all together by referring to the map I've pasted below. The bay was full of salmon jumping from the water when we arrived a couple of hours before sunset. You can see another photo I took that evening of two women performing a native American Indian chant to the salmon.

Sunset from Becket Point Color

Here's the very same photo as the previous sepia-toned photo post but in its original color. I like the way the pine trees are silhouetted against the sea and sky.

Beckett Point After Sunset with Sepia Effect

I created a sepia effect for this photo taken from the same spot as the previous post. The pine tree in the center spoiled the photos I took with landscape orientation unfortunately. Actually, there were two pines in the center of the photo, one of which which was a very tall stump from which the branches and top of the tree had been removed. In front on this was the pine that features in the center of this photo and the previous one. I had to line it up so that the bare trunk of the other tree was hidden behind this tree - you can't tell that the second tree is there, but if I moved just a little either way, the bare trunk came into view and spoiled the composition completely. You can see stumps of the branches of the tree behind sticking out. This gives you some idea of just how high the stump was. I guess strictly speaking it's really too high to be a stump.

This photo was taken at 8:05pm so there was less light than for the previous photo, and I was at this point shooting at ISO 800. I shot thise photos without a tripod, so had to adjust the ISO and appeture settings so that the exposures weren't too long.
