The Graffiti Bluffs below Ross Island Sand & Gravel

River levels along the Willamette are very low at low tide these days allowing access to shorelines and pilings that at other times would be underwater and inaccessible. When these photos were taken the river level as measured just down stream at Morrison Bridge was just under 2'. By high tide just after midnight the river level was just over 5' and the beach/shoreline and many of the pilings pictured here were underwater. Note to access this beach you have to climb down a 6' foot ledge using a 2.5' piling as a step, long legs are a plus! I used The Photographer's Ephemeris to pick a day near sunset when there would be some last light on the Ross Island Bridge and a moon over it. Photoshop panorama software couldn't deal with the 360º+ set of images, so I aligned the images roughly by hand with the sun on both ends and used Edit>Auto-Blend Layers to merge the images… the first blending had some problem areas which I eliminated by turning off a few of the original 11 image layers i.e. a bit of trial and error.
