A Look Back—Asilomar rocks

Photograph of rocks in mist at Asilomar, Pacific Grove, CaliforniaThis was a 2.5 second exposure at f/11. I wanted to keep the shutter open to blur the water and mist. I liked the effect against the solidity of  the rocky shore. December 4, 2007.

A Look Back—Dramatic Clouds Over Fremont Peak

Photograph of dramatic clouds over Fremont Peak near Salinas, CaliforniaA winter storm brought dramatic clouds to the area in January of 2007. I found the nearest high point, Manzanita Park, to capture as much of the sky as possible. The highest peak in the distance is Fremont Peak. It was the first place in California where the American flag was raised.
