Coast of Spirits
Description
Shot at Sunset Cliffs National Park in San Diego, CA. This was my first visit to Sunset Cliffs NP and I had a hard time finding good comps. For one thing there were so many people there that it was almost impossible to get a shot without someone walking into your frame. So I used their ghostly figures to add to the mood of the shot.

Moss and Mist, La Jolla, CA
Description
A huge marine layer hovering over the southern California coast which meant I had to shoot something other than pretty sunsets. So I found these moss-covered rocks and decided to shoot a long exposure.

I shot these Aloe Veras off of Highway 1 along the California coast on Dec 23rd 2009. I was testing out a rented Canon 70-200 f/2.8 IS lense. I can't afford it yet but it's definitely worth saving up for. I pulled off the road and shot this one hand-held wide open at f2.8.

Another shot of my favorite pier at Hearst State Beach in San Simeon, CA after sunset. I keep reshooting this composition - I'm not sure why. Something about it grabs me. I had planned to try this in HDR for a while so I shot this with three separate exposures tonemapped later in Photomatix.
