Garrapata Light

Show/HidePhoto Information
Garrapata Light by PatrickSmith
The Big Sur coast (100 miles south of San Francisco) was blanketed in a 2500 foot deep low cloud layer, but this part of the coastline bends to the east just south of Carmel alowing holes to develop in the fog. The camera is pointing straight in the direction of the oncoming fog. This hole allowed the light to cast itself across the beach and mountians one hour before sunset. So it was just a matter of waiting for the sun to drop down and shine through the constant hole onto the mountian and beach. It took about an hour of waiting before conditions were right.
This is just a deep fog layer, as no rain has fallen here since late April.
1/4 second exposure @F22 with ND grad 0.6 over the sky only. F22 was used only to slow down the shutter to get a longer exposure time which created the motion effect on the wave.

Hi Doug (wyatturp). I'm doing fine. I wish I had more time for EPZ, as work has been busy. But photography here in the summer is difficult anyway, as there is only fog at the ocean and no clouds elsewhere.
LOL Jouko, the nerve of people... interrupting your EPZ time. Especially when you got an HC!

There's so much to like in this Patrick - the light on the hills, the colour in that breaking wave, the way you've avoided the tip of the rock encroaching onto the hills beyond. The only thing I would may be change is getting rid of the seaweed in the foreground on the right. I do find it a bit distracting.
Very nice to see a picture from you again

No problem Kim!
Yes Mike, it was difficult to get the top of the rock below the edge of the ocean. I had to put the tripod on some driftwood that I found and the lens was at eye level. I thought about the seaweed, but we'll see what others think. Good to notice it.

Thanks for looking in!
LOL - Suzan. Your guess makes sense. It is a great Sunday, but still not a real cloud in sight, just fog at the coast.
Yes Doug, this one took a while to get. The light was rather flat for a long time, but eventually the mountians scraped holes in the fog and as the sun went lower, the light got better and better.

My interest in photography was awakened by an assignment at university while studying for industrial design in 1998. I started off in film doing lots of product photography more out of necessity for my degree than passion. I began to love taking pictures gradually and ...

Wow! As usual the waiting was worth the resulting image. Really nice composition and perfect selection of shutter speed to retain enough detail yet also make the wave look dynamic and full of energy.
Just beautiful.

My introduction to photography began at an early age with a Kodak Instamatic. A Minolta SLR followed and more recently a Canon EOS 500N. This year I embraced the digital age with a Canon EOS 20D (or mid-life crisis as it has become known) and joined the Wakefield Camera...

Good clarity throughout and the captured wave movement make this for me. Nick.

Wonderful - lighting, colors, well worth the wait. It was somewhere along here that my daughter and son-in-law became engaged - I'd love to visit there too some day.

What can I say that hasn't already been said Patrick (about the only word that hasn't been used is "c**p") but I really can't use that word in relation to this super shot of yours...so I'll just use "fabulous" instead!! Your capture of that breaking wave really is something else.

It's all been said really, but I'll say it again anyway just to reinforce it () the sky and the light on the mountains are wonderful and I love the wave! If I were to nitpick, I'd have to agree with Mike about the seaweed...but that would be nitpicking!

Great place to do it Kathy! Come on over and I'll tell you where to go.
Tracy, you have plenty of talent. I've seen enough of your work to know better!
Steve, I'll tell you where to go too if you would like.
Yes, Cathy, I could take it or leave it in, I'm not sure.

This is just great. Love the composition and the wave motion you've captured. I thought you'd need a longer exposure time than 1/4 sec, but I've just learned another tip. Thanks
