dedmanshootn > the always awesome ruby beach, wa (sepia)
10/19/09

this is one of my fav places i've ever been. for scale the tiny dot on the beach by the wave braking at the rear of the big rock in the center right ( straight below between the t and n of the watermark ) is an adult person. the path down was tougher than i was up to doing alas so i stayed up at the lookout while sis went down and poked around. we weren't here more than forty-five minutes and in that time i talked with some germans, chinese, koreans, canadians and people from several places around the usa including boston and chicago. i reckon its not just me that finds this place worth visitng and awe-inspiring! because i couldn't go down i was shooting waves from up here with my five-hundreed mm. its amazing how a long lens draws attention and conversations! i passed out a bunch of business cards. if any of you are seeing this i hope you enjoy my take and feel free to use the e-mail link on my card or homepage to contact me as i'd love to see your take. i hope everyone has a great week. remember to smile at someone today. if you're interested there's a color vertical shot from the last time i visited here:

dedmanshootn > grays harbor lighthouse, westport, wa (b&w)
10/18/09

this is the tallest lighthouse in washington and third largest on the u.s. west coast. i've included links below for those who'd like more pics,  history and info. the two little 'pegs' in front of the small building are my sis and her friend which will give oyu some scale. we didn;t go inside but one can go up for a fee and willingness to climb over one-hundred steps. there's always some great pics on smug and in the dailies but it sure seems there's been a h9igh percetage of really fine stuff lately. wasn't able to spend as much time as i wanted smuggin but did get to see a lot of great pics. i know i've said it before but it jsut gets more true - its a pleasure and privilege to be involved with so many nice people and fine photogs!

dedmanshootn > green wave - (veiw enlarged for best)
10/17/09


i love waves. love to watch em, play in them, surf and bodysurf in em. the only time i didn't like waves when when we caught a serious storm when i worked fishing vessels in alaska. when the waves seem as big as the boat and your hop[ing and praying you're going to stay afloat you're not all that interested in what a great picture of power and beauty the waves make! but, on a beautiful warm sunny day like this was and safely dry ashore, and even more distant as i shot this with my five-hundred mm, i love waves ;-) . the ripples in the body of this one i found particularly fascinating so i upped the light and contrast to bring them out. hoping to spend some good time smuggin this week-end if i can swing it. enjoy you day

dedmanshootn > big guy on a flyby
10/16/09

this is one of the largest gulls i've ever seen here in western washington, his wingspan appeared to be well in excess of four feet. the wind was blowing steady in the high thirty mphs and he would come whipping by regularly to check on me. there are observation decks in westport and i was seated on a bench on one of them with my five-hundred mm on enjoying the day and trying to get some decent otw bird shots. he passed by at least ten times in the forty minutes or so i was there, maybe i had his seat or something :-) . i tried a bunch of shots of him and was very glad to find that at least one turned out like i hoped. have a greaat week-end. call someone you haven't for a while to let them know you're thinking of them. super wiped today so posting early and off to bed

dedmanshootn > brown pelican in flight (b&w)
10/15/09

i was more than a bit bummed as i had a two gig chip glitch as i was transfering to sis's laptop so i could reuse it and lost all the pics. they were mainly pelicans with some other birds, which were waht i nmost wnated to get during the trip this time - including my first everr pileated woodpecker :-( , but i was at least able to get some more pelican shots. they don't come to where i live, tho we do get plenty of other birds along our shores, so i was happy to get them. hope your week-end is great!  if you wish the original is here:

dedmanshootn > fine carved eagle
10/14/09

den's wood den
 forks, wa
"stop by and see what we saw"

the carvings and other wood art here were terrific. sis and i couldn't help but buy something, though this beauty was already sold. its on the main highway south of forks and i definitely recommend you drop by and check it out. the nex pic in this gallery is a close-up oif the head for those interested

thanks for the overwhelming response to yesterday's  (now renamed "the double bird blues" with thanks to : http://jlfoster.smugmug.com/ ) pic. i loved it but over fifty comments in a single day was completely unexpected and just blew me away! bless you all for your kindness! had a long day amd working the early shift tomorrow so posting early and off to bed. let some one know how much you care for them today

gulls at sunset near la push, wa (gray point altered) 
10/13/09 (1 of 2)

same sunset as yesterday's pic, different focus. i changed the gray point in the sun and really liked the result so you're getting it for today. blue's are my fav color, as well as my fav music - bagpipes run a close second, so thaqt might explain why i like this better than the original. its the next pic so you can decide for yourself and comment on either, neither, or both if you wish

dedmanshootn > gulls at sunset near la push, wa
10/13/09 (2 of 2)

same sunset as yesterday's pic, different focus. conditions were such that the sunset lasted a pretty long time so i was able to play quite a bit. i was quite happy with this as i actually got it on purpose after noticing the gulls regularly crossing near me heading to roost for the night

dedmanshootn > sunset near the notch at la push, wa
10/12/09

sis and i made it out to la push, which has the honor of holding the farthest west zip code in the contigous usa, for the sunset one night. the beaches and sunsets there are as fine as anywhere in washington i think. went to a different spot than the last time i shto here
 ( http://dedmanshootn.smugmug.com/Mostly-nature/daves-faves/4931081_5dSa9#261384410_tCChs ) 'the notch', as i call it for obvious reasons, is behind james island in the other shot. while this time was not quite as stunning it was beautiful and we had a wonderfully relaxing time there. smile several times today, at the very least it will make people wonder what you're up to ;-)

dedmanshootn > handsome but not too helpful
10/11/09

if you look closely you'll note theat this 'cop' is a mannequin. this was parked along the main highway in westport, wa. the funniest thing about it is that when sis and i first saw it there was low light and we really needed some help with problem, lock with no key and no familiarity with the area for a locksmith, so pulled up to ask for help. didn't realize it was a mannequin, tho it did seem a bit like 'he' was asleep or something, until i rolled down the window. we had a great laugh and i just had to come back later to get a shot for the dailies. when i originally posted i wouldn't be on for a while it was because sis and i were taking a weeks vacay on the wwashington coast (we re-did the same 'tour' as the last trip with my late DOD
http://dedmanshootn.smugmug.com/Mostly-nature/daves-faves/4931081_5dSa9#261210721_Z8Gpt) and where we'd be had no access, or even cell coverage most of the time. those of you who commented about puter probs must have been psychic because when i got home my internet wasn't working. turned out to be a simple fix in the access line but not that quick or easy to run down. should have everything back to whatever normal is around here now so also trying to get back to full participation in the dailies. my cam is going in for hopefully just a cleaning and check-up now so you'll be getting pics from our trip as i get them processed. really looking forward to see what's been going on in the dailies and with my smug friends. hope each of you is doing better than well and are happy, healthy and wise (or at least the best two of three)

dedmanshootn > the new veterans flagpole on a blustery day
04/18/08

the old flagpole honoring our local veterans who laid down their lives in our service blew down in a bad storm in 2005. the community held fund-raisers and pestered the politicians until enough money was gotten to raise this new beauty. my old head can't remember right now for certain but i believe its 60 feet (don't ask me to do the metric conversion right now either...lol) tall which gives you an idea of the size of the flag. i pass by it at least 5 or 6 times a week and still get that "AH!" catch in my throat when i see it and pause to remember the sacrifices of those who serve us, past and present. this shot doesn't do it justice but i haven't been able to shoot one yet that does.
the always awesome ruby beach, wa (sepia)
10/19/09

this is one of my fav places i've ever been. for scale the tiny dot on the beach by the wave braking at the rear of the big rock in the center right ( straight below between the t and n of the watermark ) is an adult person. the path down was tougher than i was up to doing alas so i stayed up at the lookout while sis went down and poked around. we weren't here more than forty-five minutes and in that time i talked with some germans, chinese, koreans, canadians and people from several places around the usa including boston and chicago. i reckon its not just me that finds this place worth visitng and awe-inspiring! because i couldn't go down i was shooting waves from up here with my five-hundreed mm. its amazing how a long lens draws attention and conversations! i passed out a bunch of business cards. if any of you are seeing this i hope you enjoy my take and feel free to use the e-mail link on my card or homepage to contact me as i'd love to see your take. i hope everyone has a great week. remember to smile at someone today. if you're interested there's a color vertical shot from the last time i visited here:
