We arrived at this beach below the Heceta Head Lighthouse too late to climb to the lighthouse. The fog rolling in made it seem darker than it actually was. At this point, we didn’t know where we would camp, so couldn’t stay long.

Road Trip–Northern California
In September of this year, 2012, we took a three week road trip along the Northern California and Oregon coast in order to visit family and friends. We saw spectacular rocky cliffs, lonely beaches, redwoods and lots of fog. Over the next several weeks I’ll post some of my favorite shots. We began the coast portion of the trip just north of the Russian River. This shot was looking back south as we began to climb in elevation.

Silhouette On The Beach
This is the final image in this series of horses and riders on the beach. I allowed just a touch of detail to show in the silhouette. I wanted the rider to stand out against the sky, so I faded the top background away to white. Note the surfer in the background.

Horse, Rider, Silhouette And Echo
Another black and white silhouette from Morro Bay, California. The shape and direction of the horse’s head is echoed by the rock off shore.

Horse And Rider Silhouette
The final three images in this series of Morro Bay horse and rider shots are black and white silhouettes. I increased the contrast to make the silhouette of the horse and rider as black as possible. It was a challenge to get a good shot between the two rocks off shore so the rider is visible against a lighter background. It was a further challenge to get a shot with all four of the horse’s hooves off the ground.

Flying Mane
This is another example of a desaturated background. The horse and rider in color clearly separates them from the background. Separation is also helped by having the background out of focus, although there is enough detail to see that it is a beach with waves in the background.

Horses In Motion
I wanted these horses and riders to stand out so I removed the color from the background. I like the effect in this instance.
