You take your photography 'light'heartedly.
ha ha, this is good........ even if you say it's messy.

My kind of place. I wish there was something like that near me. Great image, Mark.
How do you get from film to a digital image?
I have a Hanging Rock 90 miles away, but no water, nothing comparable to this.
Nice to see another diehard film user. ;)
Wow, and a Kiron lens too. I had a 70-210 Kiron macro with zoom-lock many years ago. Great lens till it rolled 'slightly' into the river. It died a slow painful death in the weeks afterwards.

You commented on an image of mine and I have been looking through your images.
Many or yours are minimalist you mentioned of mine, and others are best defined as just plain cool.............. this one is fantastic.
......so, so much different than I expected from the thumbnail image. This is a great one. Well done Peter.

Thank you for the nice comment vehbi. I'm still learning to use photo programs to get contrast under control........ I may try this one again if I'm successful in improving it. It's an old Kodak slide converted to digital CD.
I just went back and looked.....it was 1987. Wow how time flys!
Lens was a Kiron 70 to 210, not the 300mm that I listed.
Thanks again!

Thank you Rashed.
I wish I could go back to this place again and take many more images than I did many years ago when this photo was originally taken.
Geographically speaking, It's a beautiful area and unlike any I had ever seen before in my home state. ..........it's only 150 miles away, but still a 4 t0 5 hour trip (one way) to actually get to the lake................... I say "Lake" because all of my recent images were taken at or near Vulcan Lake.

Thank you Stan..... I totally missed your comment. I will look...... because I know that I have a few more photos taken at different times over the years, but this one I'm sure was the best one except for the exposure a tad underexposed.
Hope all is well with you.

Thanks again Shirley. Even tho digital is cheaper by far, I can't use my two best lenses on a Canon digital camera.
Two lenses and a 1.4 converter cost me around $2500 15 years ago. Take a look at my three Hale-Bopp images on page three of my portfolio and you will immediately see the difference between a top end and a standard lens. The wide angle and the 300MM "L" series lenses showed the blue ionized gas trail of the comet.............. the other was taken with a standard glass Canon zoom lens. Those photos taught me a lot about lens quality. For as little photography as I am doing now, it's not cost very cost efficient to take the plunge.
......... OK OK, I may be a young old geezer, but some day I must make the change to digital. Thanks so much for your advice.

Living all my life on the coast, I can certainly see the scale of those waves............ as Al would say. Bigguns. :)
Wow that was worth waiting for. Thank you fot looking it up.
I'm going to go out on a branch and guess it was late afternoon about 4:19 on February 14th, and the tide was still coming in.
How silly am I being right now? :)

Yes, it does, but life goes on.
It's also that I have so many $$$ invested in my F-1 and few expensive Canon lenses plus a couple other Canon camera's that at this point in time, can't come close to starting a digital outfit.
.......and to be honest, I like film and the way it behaves. ........ OK, so now do I qualify as an old geezer? :)

My grandparents lived in Silverton and one thing I had never done is take the time to go see the falls. Some day I will have to do that. This is a view I haven't seen before. Remember the song Signs?
Oh, sign, sign everywhere a sign
Blocking up the scenery, breaking my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign.
.....no, as a matter of fact I can't even see one. hee hee!
Wonderful capture Shirley.

Yea, not the first time I've been called that when asked my age. ;) I think my feeling old is from lack of work and not being able to afford taking my weekend trips into the hills like I used to. That was my stress relief. I kinda feel like a fish in a bucket now ..............and then of course they took my Kodachrome away. For now, I'm just happy I had taken all those images when I did.

Mind me asking what you have, or a recommendations. I know that at $20 to $40 per slide, a scanner would pay for itself quickly. It's not in my budget in the near future, but I would have a lot more control over what I could do.
Not just the color, but the image size.
These images from Freddies are 1818 X 1228.
I usually had my "good" slides converted to 16 X 20 or occasionally 20 X 24 prints and they come out very nice.
I'm not a digital person, but I know that I would need a fairly large image size from a scanner to do that same thing.
I appreciate your input.

Very nice composition Sajjad. I used a photo program to make some changes. I hope you don't mind me doing so.
The program I used is called GIMP version 2.6.6 It has some really nice features including a tool to lighten or darken different areas of an image.

Thank you Shirley. I never did like the original because the color is so strange. It took a lot of work to get the right contrast levels in this black and white version. I was very happy with the result.
Thank you for all the nice comments.

Thank you Shirley. It's one of my favorites. I wonder how much different it would be starting with a high quality scan.
Most wave images are taken here with a nice blue sky late in the afternoon............ I have those too, but so does everyone else on the planet. Like all good images, I find being there at the right moment (luck) is quite often the most important element.

I've lived here my entire life and can't imagine living anywhere else. Coos Bay is a good "launching pad" to go to other places.
I'll be looking. If you find it first could you show me the link? I'm an old geezer still using dialup.
I had my camera set up and waiting in case a good wave appeared here................ I wonder if someone was behind ME, .........and he was taking a photo of a me taking a photo of a couple taking a photo. ;)
