Astoria resident Jeff Daly’s portrait of John Wedell won the 2022 People’s Choice Award.

Timing was essential for winners of this year’s Coast Weekend Photo Contest, chosen from more than 120 entries and voted on by readers. A portrait of Astoria resident John Wedell, captured as lights flickered on in the transition between day and night, was voted the People’s Choice Award winner — while first, second and third place winners captured fleeting moments of wildlife and weather along the coast’s waterways.
