"Stormy Sunset at Piedras Blancas" February 2011, Piedras Blancas, California Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon 24-70 lens The Piedras Blancas Light Station can just be seen at the far right of this image.
"Cypress Row" March 2010, Big Sur, California Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon 24-70 lens In typical fashion, the coastal fog was in the process of burning off as I shot this mid-morning image of McWay Cove. A row of cypress trees with their characteristic exposed roots stand vigil over the cove.
"Partington Cove Footbridge" March 2010, Big Sur, California Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon 16-35 lens Footbridges such as this one at Partington Cove can be found throughout Big Sur. Big Sur has no shortage of creeks, and heavy rains will often transform these creeks into full blown rivers. Without these footbridges it would be difficult or even impossible to fjord some of these waterways in the winter and spring. Unfortunately several of these bridges were destroyed in the huge Basin Fire in the summer of 2008. Given California's present economic malaise, it is hard to tell when these bridges will be rebuilt.
"Highway 1" March 2010, Big Sur, California Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon 70-200 lens It is called both the Pacific Coast Highway and Highway 1. I prefer the latter designation, as it seems fitting for what is without a doubt one of the most beautiful highways to be found anywhere on earth.
"McWay Falls and Big Sur Coastline" March 2010, Big Sur, California Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon 400mm lens After finding this amazing vista during my midday scouting, I patiently waited around for a couple of hours for the harsh lighting to diminish. The soft light from another golden California sunset gave me just the color that I was looking for. McWay Cove with its infamous waterfall can be seen on the left. Further back and to the right is a home on one of the most amazing pieces of real estate that I've ever seen. Talk about location! The home was actually over a mile away from where I was standing, but a 400mm lens helped me to bring it in closer.
"Partington Cove Tunnel" March 2010, Big Sur, California Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon 16-35 lens Partington Cove Tunnel is one of Big Sur's hidden gems. It was built in the late 19th century as a means to transport tan bark to waiting ships in Partington Cove. The tunnel is approximately 100 feet long.
"McWay Cove" February 2011, Big Sur, California Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon 24-70 lens This is my take on one of the most photographed locations in California. McWay Falls can be seen through the tree, and is one of only two waterfalls in California which plummets straight into the Pacific.
"Carmel Highlands" February 2011, Carmel Highlands, California Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon 70-200 lens A stunning home in an even more stunning location.
"Dreams of Big Sur" February 2011, Big Sur, California Canon EOS 5D MK2, Canon TS-E 24mm lens 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.

In typical fashion, the coastal fog was in the process of burning off as I shot this mid-morning image of McWay Cove. A row of cypress trees with their characteristic exposed roots stand vigil over the cove.
