Photographing the Oregon Coast with Rick Sammon

The Oregon Coast gives you plenty of reasons to stop the car and grab your camera. Figuring out where to stand, when to arrive, and how to make the most of what’s in front of you? That’s where a little local photography guidance comes in handy.

In his new course, Travel Photography: A Photographer’s Guide to the Oregon Coast, Rick Sammon takes you along Highway 101 from Haystack Rock to Bandon, with stops at Cape Kiwanda, Newport, Devil’s Punchbowl, and Cape Perpetua.

Rick works from more than 100 of his own photographs to explain his choices about composition and exposure, plus the tides, timing, gear, and safety considerations that go into a coastal shoot. Whether you’re bringing a mirrorless camera or an iPhone, the goal is to come home with photographs that capture how the place felt.

Watch Rick tell you more about it in the short video below.
