I absolutely love this shot. Everything lined up perfectly, especially the positioning of the sun.

Love the composition here. I think I would have edited the sun flare out. None the less as this is a great photo!

Its at the northern end of the Oregon coast. I would estimate its location at less than 2 miles, maybe even less than 1 mile, from Oregon's northern tip.

I love your photo! I have done photography with this same shipwrecked boat but not as good as this.

That shipwreck is the Peter Iredale on the Oregon coast. It was a four mast sailing ship that ran aground on October 25, 1906. So in a few days it will be the 111th anniversary of the shipwreck.

Location
I took this photo on the Oregon Coast at Fort Stevens State Park. The shipwreck is the Peter Iredale, a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore on October 25, 1906.Time
I knew the lighting was good, since it was late afternoon/early evening. I rode down from the campsite on my bike as a last trip out before dinner and I only had a few minutes to get a good shot. There were a few people hanging around, so I got a few shots in before they made it down to the wreck.Lighting
The lighting was perfect! That nice almost golden hour glow. I didn't have to do a lot of post processing on the lighting, which is what I try to aim for.Equipment
I used a Canon EOS Rebel T1i with an EFS 18-55mm lens. No tripod, flash, or other additions. Aperture at f/13.0, ISO 100, and a 1/160 exposure.Inspiration
This is probably my absolute most favorite place on the Oregon Coast. The wreck looks a little different every time, with more or less exposure depending on the time of year and the storms. It's a place that looks beautiful no matter what the weather is. It is hardly ever crowded since the beach is so vast in this area.Editing
Only a few adjustments to bring out some color, brightness, and a little sharpening.In my camera bag
I carry two cameras: my ever faithful T1i and my Canon 5D. Always included are a variety of lenses, depending on what I feel like doing: 17-40mm wide angle, 18-55mm (my "standard" lens), 100-300mm zoom lens, and a Holga pinhole lens for Canon. These are my general staples, whether for landscape or portrait.Feedback
Make sure to set time to practice and know your manual settings. Sometimes that shot only comes with a few seconds to spare and it'll be worth every hour of practice! Though I didn't use a tripod here (it's too awkward to carry on my older bicycle), I definitely suggest using one. In my experience it not only helps stabilize your shot, but people seem to see what you are doing and politely stay out of the way.
