San Gregorio Light

Show/HidePhoto Information
San Gregorio Light by PatrickSmith
The first storm of the rainy season arrived early this year. So I went out looking for some good light to go along with the low tide. The storm caused the water in the river here, which is normally a pond for most of the year, to overflow the sandbar on the beach and flow to the sea.
I watched the action for a while, and composed this scene. When the sun dropped under the cloud deck the beach was lit well. I decided to add in some of the foam that was floating about. I like how it painted the foreground for me as it wrapped around the rock.
2 second exposure @F16 with ND grad 0.9
Despite the long exposure, as the water moved, the riples stayed in the same place. So no detail was lost in the water. So it is an interesting combination of movement.

A gorgeous composition Patrick. Just lovely. I was staring at the image trying to figure out where it was taken. I was thinking it must be down along Highway 1 but I was thinking more south closer to Big Sur. This whole area is gorgeous. There's a great breakfast place a bit further south on the Pescadero Road.
Cheers, Martin

Thanks for stopping by!
That could be arranged Scott!
True Paul. I shoudl send it to Microsoft I think! It is the foam moving for two seconds in the current under my feet.
It is unusual Tony. It's because the ripples were stationary while the water continued to move almost like a river.
Martin, this is near Half Moon bay about 20 miles south of San Francisco. I'll have to check out the breakfast place!

Hi Patrick. No drive along highway 1 through Half Moon bay and keep going for a few miles until you see a turning on your left (small parking area on right) with a sign for Pescadero. Follow that road for a few miles. You'll drive through some farmland and past a couple of farmstands on your left. Keep going until you hit a cross junction. Turn left and the restaurant is the first place on the right. I can't remember the name of it but it's really good. Lots of bikers there on the weekends but still a family place too. We all used to ride (motorcycles) in the mountain roads from Santa Cruz upwards and pop out in Pescadero after coming down from Skyline Blvd. Beautiful area.

'Sir Smith' Jouko? I like the sound of that - LOL! Do you really think the shutter would get stuck on long exposures at -40c?
Yes Dennis, they are like windows in a way.
Thanks Martin. I'll have to look for it the next time I'm out that way. You're right, it is extremely scenic out this way.
Yes Charlotte, I remember those days. Those lab classes are very long but you don't get many units for them. But you still need to take them so you end up with very long days! The St. Andrews area looks like a great place for photography. That harbour barrier would be great with a very long exposure of maybe 2 minutes. You may get a bit wet though, LOL!
Thanks Scott, my job is on the edge too so I may be in your situation at any time!
LOL Gill, good enough for me.
Good questions Ian! I'm still waiting for the big winter storms to appear, then a bit more drama I hope. So I'm just taking advantage of a bit of good light because it is usually clear and warm at this time of year until November.

Steve, I have a 'look?' Well, your look will end up being different than everybody else's. I've tried to imitate other's work, but it always ends up being different. Usually, I just stand around looking for what I like most about a place, then I try to capture it. Usually I have to do it quickly because by the time I realize what it is I like, the light is fading or the tide is turning!

Thanks Pete and Dave!
Yes Nigel, the fog is moving in right now and it is cooling off a bit! Lots of smoke in the air still though.
Mark, the foam is very unusual. I was actually going for something else when I noticed this movement, then I chased it around until I got it right.
Sandra, I hadn't though about the pano crop, but it does work!

Photography had receded into the shadows for a couple of years 'cos of a broken spirit. All that changed on the 5th of August 2006.
A trip to the UK in October 2006 got me thinking that instead of being saddled with rolls & rolls of film, why not take the plunge into...

Amazing light and detail Partrick. The long exposure certainly worked a treat here. Wonderful warm colour tones.

I live in Co Down Northern Ireland and have become enthusiastic again about photography since going digital a couple years ago. I would mostly take landscape shots but I have an interest in all types of photography.

Great shot, Patrick. The patterns made by the foam add a nice touch too.

Thanks for looking!
I liked the foam too Ted, but only when I got back to see it on the computer. I just did it as an experiment, but will try it in more places now.

Lovely light on the cliff but it's the expertly placed foreground rock that does this for me.

I like that contrast of the ripples and the soft flowing water because of the long exposure - beautiful as ever!
