Behind the Shot
On a summer afternoon, waves rolled onto Ecola Beach in Oregon as fog gently shrouded the coastline in the background. Photographer Meagan Puett stood perfectly still, camera in hand, struck by the ethereal fantasy of the scene. The soft, muted colors of the fog contrasted beautifully with the vibrant blues and whites of the waves, creating a dreamlike quality.
Meagan used a high aperture setting to achieve an extensive depth of field, ensuring that every component of the frame remained in sharp focus. This technique allows the viewer to explore the photo in its entirety and appreciate the details and textures present throughout the landscape.
“My desire to capture this shot stemmed from an admiration for the natural beauty and the mood that enveloped the scene,” Meagan says. “The fog was such a dreamy element that added mystery and intrigue, suggesting that there is always more to discover beyond what you can see. It reminds us that nature is full of layers, both seen and unseen, and that true adventure lies in the willingness to explore the unknown. My hope is that this photo will inspire viewers to slow down and immerse themselves in the beauty of the present moment.”
Meagan’s image encapsulates the experience of being surrounded by nature—away from the noise of everyday life—where time seems to unwind. Connect with the serenity of the natural world by installing this exquisite photograph on the wall of your home or office.
