"A Break in the Clouds"

February 2011, Piedras Blancas, California
"Until Tomorrow"

February 2011, Big Sur, California

Not much to say here really.  It was just another typical evening on the rugged Big Sur coastline.  I hiked to a secluded beach, set up my gear, and God did all of the rest.  He did well.
"Morro Bay Harbor at Sunrise"

October 2003, Morro Bay, California

Rising 581' above the surrounding ocean, Morro Rock has been used as a navigational aid by sailors for hundreds of years. The rock is a California historical landmark and provides sanctuary for endangered peregrine falcons as well as several other species of birds.  Sea otters and seals are frequently seen swimming around the harbor.
"Redwood Grove, Big Sur"

March 2010, Big Sur, California
"McWay Falls"

March 2010, Big Sur, California

McWay Falls is an 80 foot year around waterfall located in the heart of Big Sur.  It is one of only 2 waterfalls in California that plummet directly into the ocean.  Shot just after sunset.
"Redwoods and Fog"

March 2011, Big Sur, California
"Dreams of Big Sur"

February 2011, Big Sur, California

I have had a love affair with Big Sur from the moment that I first gazed upon this wild and stunningly beautiful area.  It is a place like no other, and is yet another reminder of why I live in California.  Where else can you see migrating whales, California Condors, sea otters, giant elephant seals, and some of the most amazing scenery on earth - and all in the same day!

This is looking north towards the tiny coastal village of Lucia.  Lopez Point can be seen in the distance.  I shot this image just after sunset.  I added a polarizing filter in order to increase my exposure time to 10 seconds.  This created the surreal fog-like effect on the ocean as the waves repeatedly crashed against the boulders at high tide.
"Sunset at Piedras Blancas Light Station"

February 2011, Piedras Blancas, California

This was to be my last clear sunset for a while.  I was staying in San Simeon for a week, but the next 5 afternoons brought a mixture of heavy fog, overcast grey skies, rain and high winds.  You do the best you can to follow the weather forecasts and shoot for the storms, but until you are actually on scene you just don't know what you are going to get.  The weathermen had promised me off and on storms for the week, and sure enough I got them.  They were just the wrong kind from a photographer's standpoint.
"Jade Cove"

March 2011, Big Sur, California
Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon TS-E 24mm lens

Jade Cove is a popular destination for rockhounds to come and look for nephrite jade.  The beautiful cove lies at the southern end of Big Sur and can be reached by hiking down a very steep trail from the bluff high above.  The trail is hard to find and can be quite treacherous when wet.
