Sunset at Seal Rock (2025) | © Jason P. Odell

Good morning, friends! I’m still in Oregon, wrapping up a photo safari with a great group of clients along with my podcast co-host, Rick Walker. We’ve been to a lot of great spots this week, and Oregon remains one of my favorite places to visit for photography.

I captured this image Wednesday evening along the Oregon coast, just south of Newport. The clouds cooperated and picked up the colors from the setting sun just as waves were crashing into the rocks on the shore. I just love these kinds of scenes!

To capture the waves at the moment of impact, I had my camera set to continuous frame advance, and just fired off a burst every time I saw the waves get close to the rocks. This one was one of my favorites from one of those shot sequences.
