Bandon, Oregon is home to the most dramatic range of weather beaten sea stacks on the west coast. This display of towering rock formations remind us of the power of water and time, and provides photographers with incredible vistas to capture. We will stay just steps from the beach, and will explore and photograph Bandon, and the surrounding coastline for sunrises, sunsets, waves, piers and lighthouses during this favorite workshop!
