three northern California beach photos....

I drove up to Trinidad again tonight for the late afternoon light on the beach. These photos were taken at Trinidad State Beach in Trinidad, California. I was hoping for colorful sunset clouds but it was mostly cloudless.

1. I like the way the rocks guide the eye in #3

6. I was hoping to shoot close in on waves breaking over those rocks...

...but the tide wasn't cooperating.

7. You can ask King Canute about that.

He showed that even someone as powerful as the king can't control the tides.

2. Wow, Mike!

These are wonderful.

I love the details! In the second photo, the rocky details are just amazing. SO beautiful!

The light on the water and on the rocky shore is gorgeous.

Well done!

4. that one was hardest to process from the raw image file....

Shot back lit, the shadowed sides of the rocks facing the camera were solid black. I think I pulled just about all the detail I could out of that deep shadow. The full sized image looks better than this version, which is reduced to lower bandwidth.

I'm glad you like it!
