There's a certain romance and mystery to this forest scene captured in Scotland. This one is from my 2015 trip.
I like the way the lines and shapes on the rock and the sand seem to flow into each other. It feels like the way.a painter would arrange the scene but of course this was the way as I saw it.
A constellation of limpets await the return of the tide.
The ripples left in the sand as the tide slowly recedes out
Springtime along the rugged Big Sur coastline.
This shelf of colorful, speckled rocks looks like it was neatly arranged by someone when in reality its just the product of the tides.
While its tempting to photograph the sun through the portal, what I really love is the way the golden light kisses the wet boulders right at sunset and a low tide. 30.000s, Automated Frame Average
I love that combination of red and green you get when you visit a rainforest at the end of autumn color.
It was later that first morning that I felt I was hitting my stride, making images I hadn't made before. This image is one of my favorites with the contrast in color between the magentas and the blue-greens, the texture in the sand left by the receeding tide and of course all that sea life clinging onto the rocks waiting for the tide's eventual return. The icing on the cake was capturing all this is exceptionally high resolution which will make for a wonderful large print!
I love how the blue and orange 'intrude' into the frame and into the more familiar yellow colored rock.
This is an ultra wide angle view of striations in rock when the ride was out. However looking closer I see so many intresting close up images that can be made as well, so this will be a scene I will revisit many more times.
I wasn't sure that this image was going to work as I had to get my camera practically on the ground to frame. Also, in the past I would have relied on focus stacking but these days I find myself disliking focus stacked images and instead prefer to use movements to get the most salient bits in focus and leave the rest out of focus. I do like how this turned out, but I definitely want to return to try other compositions.
This is a very different composition from anything I've done at Point Lobos in the past. I love how the tree leans over, covered in moss and lichen. On a completely clear or overcast day the sky to the right would be too boring, but the hint of those breaking clouds adds interest. Also the moss reminds me of smoldering embers.

The limbs of this tree glowing in the momentary sunlight remind me of the swirling motion of a Flamenco dancer.
I initially worked on and posted a slight variation of this composition which was tighter, but over time I'm prefering this composition for all the interesting lines and curves.
