Desperately clinging to the past

These remains of an ancient dock are in the Old Town section of Brandon, Oregon. A one minute exposure smoothed out the water in this protected area next to the marina.

I like this tight view of these old pilings with the long exposure. I have tried shooting the remains of these old docks once before but with a wider view that didn't really work out so well.

Very cool Michael! I like finding old piers pooking out of the water. Nice find, and the long exposure works great.

Nicely isolated with the long exposure.

Thanks Alan, one day I'll find a whole pier to shoot, maybe.

Thanks Jim, I think pier pilings are the number one subject for long exposures on the coast.

Thanks Jameel, I also tried a short shutter speed, but the water was distracting.

Astoria is the best place for piers that are more intact than most.

Really nicely done!
