Bioluminescence and moonlight at Shi Shi Beach, Olympic Peninsula, Washington last August. It's super trippy to see! I had only two nights there, but I want to go back and spend more time, hopefully catching the bioluminescence when it's covering a bigger area and is more active.

Later that evening it clouded up and a thunderstorm rolled in off the coast. I got a bunch of shots, but exposing for the bioluminescence and intensely bright lightning was nearly impossible to get right. I hiked out at dawn just as the storms hit the beach. It was a long night, but super fun.

This is an image I'll be offering as a print once I have some test prints made to see how it looks.

Bioluminescence at Shi Shi Beach, Olympic NP in Oct. I went there to photograph the bioluminescence and then a lightning storm showed up out of the blue. It was an extremely difficult exposure to capture and edit!

After a while, I tried to do separate exposures for the lightning and the shoreline, figuring I'd merge them later, but I couldn't even get a 30 second exposure before a bolt blew out the shoreline exposure.
