The Bay

The Bay..."Yaquina Bay" is located in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. It is home to Oregon's and, probably the west coast's largest fishing fleet.

The fishing boats and the sail boat are caught in an early morning fog with just enough sun peaking through to make for a majestic scene.

It is a short distance to the jetty and to the Pacific Ocean. Commercial fishing and crabbing can be lucrative. However, it is a hard life. But, it is in the blood!

Part of the famous Yaquina Bay Bridge is in the background!

I processed the original capture into a HDR ( High Dynamic Range) photo by combining three different exposures. Next, I converted the image into an unusual digital painting.

Please enjoy!

Crab Trap Art

This nostalgic fishing boat is getting ready to go out into the Pacific and catch some Dungeness Crab! The crab rings (traps) are sitting out on the deck.

They are ready to be thrown overboard, once they are out in the ocean and, have found the right place to catch crab...usually close to shore.

The Crabbers use fish carcasses to lure crabs into the traps. Dungeness Crab is one of the best eating in the world.

The setting is in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast. This image has been converted to a digital painting.

Port Of Newport Dock No 7

You can visit many docksides, here and there but, you will find that the ones in Newport on the Oregon Coast are working docks. This means that the fishing boats are not just for show, they go out to sea and catch fish and crab and bring them back to the dockside canneries.  Lots of hard work!

Usually, during fishing and  crabbing seasons these docks are a beehive of activity. When this scene was captured the bar and seas were rough and everyone was in port. Don't let the blue sky fool you!

It was a peaceful scene...nobody was out fishing however, some were working on their boats to get them prepared for the next good fishing day!
