Pelican Cove by PatrickSmith

I enjoy visiting this rocky shoreling south of San Francisco. There are so many things happening all at once that it is hard to remember it all, so I tried to capture it all right in this image. I especially remember the saltiness and the last bit of sun on the surf. The Pelicans were diving for fish, and there were hundreds on that rock!

And yes, as usual it was slippery and I got nailed by one of those sneaker waves. So what's new?.

This is my first upload with EPZ version 4. The company reorg left me with a job for at least another few months. So hopefully I'll have more time for EPZ. (Edit June 1, actually I'm looking for new work so no time for EPZ after all. I'll be back in July I hope!)

0.3 second exposure @F16 with ND grad 0.9

Patrick, how does one comment after more than 100 votes and all of the above? I'll just be honest - this is one of the most impressive images I have seen on EPZ so far.

HI Jan, I'll have to see where you have gone. I hope you keep uploading here though.

It was Tommy.

Keep it up Glen, you are improving quickly.

Pete, drop me an email and I'll point you to the right spots. Or we could even meet if you get extra time.

Thanks Magda, I'm trying to get better at that.

Jumpers Arnie? With or without paragliders? That view is incredible.

How Dennis? By almost killing myself on angled dlippery rocks amonst other things. Actually I usually watch a place for about 1/2 hour just to see how things look and feel. Then I try to get the best parts into a photo.

Thanks Gaz, but it looks to be a temporary thing.

I was also wondering where you have been until I re-read the your statement under the photo. Well, if the weather is the same in northern California as it is down here, you surely have not missed any photo opportunities. Nothing dramatic at all.
