Fishing Fleet In Yaquina Bay

Newport, Oregon on the Central Coast boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon. There is easy access and, a fairly tame bar to cross to get to the Pacific Ocean. 

Good fishing and crabbing makes for an excellent port for the fisherman. Yaquina Bay and the Yaquina Bay Bridge are in the background. 

You can tell by the static crab rings on the boats that crabbing is at a standstill and many boats are in port.

This is a photograph that I have added texture to give a unique painting effect.

The Irish Miss

This classic fishing vessel is moored in Yaquina Bay in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Newport boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon, if not the Pacific Coast.

It is foggy out with just a tad bit of sunshine, allowing for a unique capture. In the the background is the Historic Bayfront and, on the hill in the background is the Pacific Maritime Heritage Center.

This image has been converted to High Dynamic Range (HDR) by combining three different exposures, and then incorporating the results into a digital painting.

1930 Ford V8 Model A Hot Rod

A  Model A Ford Convertible Hot Rod is in pristine condition.

Of course, many modifications have been made to it since it was originally manufactured but, all for the better!  You could have purchased this fine roadster for around $1400 in 1930. Today, that might get you the tires!

This capture was made at a very busy car show! Any photographer will tell you that is is very difficult to photograph at car shows because of people, and usually some type of signage.

To be blunt, I was lucky to get this shot!

Hot Rodders refer the to Model  As as A-Bones. The Model A was Ford's number two success after the previous Model T.

The logic is kind of funny here...Model A following Model T...maybe should have been a "B' rather than "T".

Last Straw

This cool fishing vessel (F/V Last Straw) is moored at Dock 5 in Newport on the Oregon Coast. What was interesting, other than the boat, was the light.

Conditions were just right for a remarkable capture! Check out the cloud formation. There is just enough sun to accent the clouds.

Newport has the largest fishing fleet on the Oregon, if not the entire West Coast. The fishing and crab boats enjoy a quick trip to the Pacific with a (usually) tame Bar to cross!

Yaquina Bay Bridge Reflections

The Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport on the Oregon Coast is one of the most recognizable bridges in Oregon. It was constructed in 1936 to span Yaquina Bay from Newport, to what now is called South Beach.

Before, the only way to cross the Bay was by Ferry. And, in those days crossing could be a little treacherous.

This particular capture was made from South Beach, looking west. In the foreground, are wild rose bushes and, you can spot the rose hips this time of year.

The boats pictured are mainly pleasure boats and sailboats. Off to the left, is the world headquarters for Rogue Brewing Co.!

View From The Boardwalk

Not far from Newport on the Central Oregon Coast is Toledo, Oregon!  Yes! It is named after Toledo, Ohio.

You are looking at the Port of Toledo which is located on the Yaquina River. Fall is starting to inch itself in.

Toledo is a mill town, with a major paper mill and lumber mill. And, also major boat repair facilities.

Above all, it is a quaint little town. Not too popular because most of the tourist go to Newport which is only seven miles away on the coast.

But, the tourist that bi-pass Toledo are missing out on a very cool place to visit!

Thompsons Mills State Heritage Site

This now defunct mill is near Shedd, Oregon. It is the oldest existing water-powered grain mill in Oregon. It sits on the Calapooia River.

The original mill was constructed in 1858. In 2004, the Oregon Parks and Recreation bought the mill and opened it to the public.

The mill buildings and Queen Anne style mill keeper's residence are listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The 1904 residence was one of first rural homes in Oregon to have electricity which was supplied by the mill.

Yaquina Bay Kayaking

Yaquina Bay in Newport on the Oregon Coast is home to Oregon's largest fishing fleet.

The Bay is cool! The Yaquina Bay Bridge, in the background  is cool! The fishing boats are cool!

However, what is so unique in this capture is the kayakers! There is a lot of bay to explore and they are on their way to do it!

1940 Pontiac

The Pontiac automobile was established in 1926. Within General Motors, the folks that built the Pontiac had special pride in the way they turned out. In 2009, due to financial hassles GM discontinued manufacturing the car.

That is a shame!  Many good Pontiac factory workers lost their jobs. It seems like they were scapegoats.

Anyway, this cool and classic car was photographed at a car show that was held in the rain in Newport, Oregon.

This image was processed in High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR). Five different exposures were combined into one to give the image more depth. It was raining quite hard when this photo was taken and that should show up in the image.

Chelsea Rose And The Tall Ships

The Chelsea Rose, a permanently docked old fishing boat is over 100 years old. It is moored on Dock 5 on Newport, Oregon's Historic Bayfront. For years, folks from all over have been buying freshly caught fish and crabs right off the Chelsea Rose.

The boat needs extensive repairs, to the point that they are probably going to send her to the boat graveyard. When the time comes it will sadden many because it has been a landmark on the bay front for so many years.

Next to the Chelsea are two visiting Tall Ships..."Lady Washington" and the "Hawaiian Chieftain".

Kylie Lynn

The scene is Yaquina Bay, Dock 5, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. "Kylie Lynn" has probably just returned after a night's fishing off the Oregon Coast.

The F/V Kylie Lynn is a commercial fishing boat with a length of 73 feet and a breadth of 22 Feet. She was built in 1987.

Newport has the largest fishing fleet in Oregon if not the West Coast!

In the background, is the bay front with the lower turquoise building being an Inn.

Fresh Live Crab

The scene is Dock 5 in Yaquina Bay, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Newport is Oregon's largest fishing port.

Chances are the fishing/crab boats are just returning after a nights fishing and crabbing off the Oregon Coast. Notice where the American Flag is...there are two big tubs there full of dungeness
crab !

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!

Bandon Beach Boardwalk

This is just part of the magnificent boardwalk in Bandon, Oregon. It is nestled next to the Coquille River on the Southern Oregon Coast and, very close to the beach and Pacific Ocean.

The capture was made early on a Sunday morning...no one is up and about! The boardwalk is actually an impressive outside art gallery with masterful wood carvings.

There are many arty type benches on the boardwalk. They are no more than 50 steps from one to another. Very unique in itself! 

There are a number of outstanding wooden sculptures. For example, there are: Dolphin, Crab, Octopus, Seal, Sea Horse, Totem Pole and Orca wood sculptures.

You can find them scattered along this riverside promenade. To the right,  in the photo is a beautiful glass-sided picnic shelter with a wonderful view of the Coquille River and surrounding areas.

Yaquina Head Lighthouse

The Yaquina Head Lighthouse is one of the most popular lighthouses on the Oregon Coast. It is located at the north end of Newport and jets out about a mile from the main shoreline. 

It can easily be seen from out at sea. It actually replaced a lighthouse that is only three miles away. Recently, it received a well deserved paint job.  

Yaquina Head Light was first lit August 20, 1873, and automated in 1966. It is ninety three feet tall and is the tallest lighthouse in Oregon. 

The lighthouse has even been in the movies: A setting for the "Moesko Island Lighthouse" in the 2002 film "The Ring"! It appeared in a 1983 movie "Hysterical" and, in "The Nancy Drew Mysteries"...the  episode "The Mystery of Pirate's Cove". 

The lighthouse sits on some 100 acres and, includes The Yaquina Head Interpretive Center which opened in 1997.  Exhibits include the history and preservation of the lighthouse, and the marine life found in tide pools. The Center includes an excellent gift shop operated by "Friends Of Yaquina Lighthouses".

Underneath The Yaquina Bay Bridge

 This capture was made underneath the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport on the Central Oregon Coast.  The bridge spans Yaquina Bay. The view is from South Beach looking north.

It was built in 1936 in the art deco style. It is one of the most recognizable bridges on Route 101 and was designed by Conde McCullough.

Before the bridge was built  the only way to get across the bay was by ferry.

Aquero

 The "Aguero" is a fishing vessel, located in Newport on the Oregon Coast. Aquero, in Spanish translates to "omen"! 

One meaning is that it is a bad omen for fishermen to learn how to swim?? However, we can assume that the name "Aguero" on this vessel is intended to be a "good omen", whether you can swim or not!

The "Aguero" is moored in Yaquina Bay. Newport boosts the largest fishing fleet in Oregon and possibly the West Coast. This scene features a heavy fog early in the morning.

 This capture has been converted to digital painting. However, it's not that simple! Three different exposures were taken of the Aguero, combined to bring out all the dynamics of the scene...combining light, color to make the image more vibrant. Then the results were turned into a digital painting.

Retro Flying A

This is an interior of an old Flying A Service Station that probably dates back to the sixties . Today it doesn't sell gas or provide service (Remember when gas stations provided service).

It remains as a motorcycle accessory outlet and as a museum displaying all sorts of nostalgic things from years past. It's just a fun place!

I had a lot of fun photographing it. The owner was very accommodating.

American Pride

The American Pride is a paddlewheeler and was originally built to cruise the Mississippi and was named the Queen Of The Mississippi. At that time, it cruised and explored St.Louis, Memphis and Louisville.

In 2016, it was renamed and now cruises the Columbia and Snake Rivers focusing on Pacific Northwest scenery. The American Pride was in Astoria, Oregon when this capture was made.

Astoria is an excellent place to catch a monumental amount of Pacific Northwest history.

Bandon Boat Basin At Dawn

This is part of the Bandon waterfront and boat basin, located on the Southern Oregon Coast. You can't see the Pacific Ocean in the background but, you can see the Coquille River Lighthouse off to the right.

No breeze, so Old Glory is not flying.

Bandon is a very unusual place. It is small, and has a charm not readily found elsewhere. It has undoubtedly the most pristine beaches in the world. And, you can take a stroll on the beach and not see anyone else!
