Tide Pools

While I was out In Oregon co teaching the Macro & More workshop along with good friend and great photogrpaher Jack Graham, I was treated to my first expereince of shooting a tide pool.  If you every get to the Oregon coast please take time to explore these, as they offer a tremendous amount of macro images.  Many large rocks as tall as me are just totally cover with life forms.    My only regret was we only had about two hours until ther tide came back in.  So I was like a mad man shooting.  Here’s a shot of a green anemone.
