We were there today, too! The wind was so freaking cold though.

I was at Fort Worden today. That wind was brutal!

How was it
Davethephotoguy OP t1_j5dj2x1 wrote
Cold, wet, windy and very, very crowded. There were photographers standing shoulder to shoulder and I had to squeeze in to get some shots. Wish we had some sunshine to better illuminate the water, but I was pretty happy with the images I captured today.

You could say that the lack of sunshine left you....disappointed.

Wow really? That's actually shocking to me. I've only been there in the summer and I assumed it would be deserted in the cold months. Good to know

I'm pretty sure it is a popular place to wave watch.
I remember my aunt taking me there on a very cold day decades ago.

I love this lighthouse. It looks like something out of a Fallout game.

Exposure and gear details?
Davethephotoguy OP t1_j5gfzm2 wrote
Canon R6 w/ Canon 100-400mm F4L lens. F/8, 1/200th sec, ISO 100.
warbeforepeace t1_j5h18lm wrote
Nice how do you like that lens. I have a R6 mkii with the 24-105 f4 L lens and looking for a telephoto.
Davethephotoguy OP t1_j5h4xnv wrote
I really, really like it. I often use it with the 2x extender for bird photography. However, it gets really heavy really quickly so a monopod or tripod is often needed with that setup.

I loved visiting this place. Felt like standing on the edge of lingering danger.
YogiBerraOfBadNews t1_j5fahsb wrote
That doesn’t look disappointing at all! Personally I’d feel a little short changed if I went to a place called Cape Disappointment and didn’t leave feeling a little bit underwhelmed.
OppositionGuerilla t1_j5ffucv wrote
I always wondered why is it called cape disappointment?
back9iron t1_j5hs5w4 wrote
An expedition back in the day, like 1700s, was hoping to find the Columbia River entrance and didn’t. He was disappointed… and the name stuck. Lol

How come this image just showed up in my facebook feed as an advertisement?
Davethephotoguy OP t1_j5g83jm wrote
Whoa! That’s pretty weird. What was the ad for?
pala4833 t1_j5gbq2s wrote
I can't remember, but I saw this earlier this morning and I looked at it quite a bit because I enjoyed the image. Then later on facebook, it was in one of those "sponsored" boxes. Maybe for National Parks, or Visit Olympic Peninsula .org or something.

I’ve been like six times. Every time the surface of the water is like glass lol. Someday I’ll get lucky.

I was debating on where to hike today. I woke up and saw your post, got in my truck, and drove a couple hours to Disappointment State Park. Thank you for the inspiration!

I hope you enjoyed the park!

Beautiful shot! Wow! What a great place to shoot! I've not been there before or I would have a million questions! What did you like best?
Davethephotoguy OP t1_j5ipsy0 wrote
It was my first time there since I was a a kid camping there with my parents. I was only there for a couple hours photographing the waves at high tide. However, I do intend to return at some point to actually camp there and enjoy the park.
