Does anyone know if there is a certain time optimal for tide?

Truly excellent and amazing shot! Congratulations for this outstanding picture and congratulations for surviving it! This could have ended quite differently!

Thanks so much everyone.

It's a fun experience, but the danger is very real. I talked to some locals when I was at this location on a different shoot. They said the Cape Perpetua visitor center had reports of a lot of injuries around this area.

So some words of caution after visiting this area probably 5 times in widely varying conditions: It's important to know the tide schedule, the surf forecast and to keep your eyes on the ocean at all times.

There's not a whole lot you can do if a sneaker wave does comes in, as I experienced. But I always try to make sure I know these things before this type of shoot.

Again, thanks everyone. FM has an extremely high quality of community and content, so I try to only share my best here.

what was the focal length? How close to the edge were you? Did you happen to check the tide tables and whether or not it was going to be higher than normal?

thanks

This is truly a wonderful capture, great colors and good selection for shutterspeed.

The location is not called Thors Well (a photo of it was) but it is an outstanding image!

Sorry for the delay in responding. I edited the shot with just a touch of NR (at larger sizes the noise was bothering me a bit). Ordered a 24x36 canvas and it's on the way. Can't wait to see it!

Medium to high tide is best to see the well. I've been there at low tide and the well was entirely inactive. You'll see the full effect of the water drainage with rough surf and big waves.

I plan on taking this shot in August during my visit to the coast there...I wont tell my friends about your problems because I really want the shot...And, Im not afraid of a little water..how is the path down to the edge there?


It's a gentle stroll, really. The rocks are a bit rugged, but nothing an outdoor photographer can't handle .

Thanks for the questions, Jon. I always check tide and surf forecasts prior to a shoot and encourage others who plan on visiting dangerous locations to be aware of them as well.

High tide was +6.7ft at around 2:50p, if I recall correctly. This shot was taken 3 hours after high tide, so I knew the tide was going out. It was an overcast type of day. The surf was big this day. That was key to the wave action and the reason I ultimately took a hit. Focal length was 19mm.

I think most photographers call it Thor's Well. If it isn't called that, what is the actual name for this specific location?

Cape Perpetua is where this is located obviously. I think Thors Well and Spouting Horn get mixed up.
