McWay Falls

A long exposure of McWay Falls in late afternoon light.

Big Sur’s Golden Coastline

I shot this Big Sur moonlit coastline photo last year, but didn’t feel like posting it because I blew the exposures. After some post processing works, I decided to post this shot now to make a dedication to those in Big Sur going through the Big Sur Basin Complex fire. I can’t imagine what it was like for Big Sur residents seeing the fire jumped the Pacific Coast Highway and threatened their safety. I have a couple contacts from Big Sur. I hope you’re all safe. Big Sur is incredibly beautiful, and I’m very sad to see it’s burning :(

McWay Falls Sunset

[f22, 0.5 second, 22mm, iso 100, filter: 3 stops split nd]

Definitely a more challenging location to shoot. During the day, the sky was too bright and it was quite hazy; during sunset, the wasn’t enough light in the cove. My 3 slots Cokin-P filter holder creates severe vignetting at 17mm. Have yet to get a printable shot of this cove.
