Big Deep Breath

Davenport, California In California, we can have long periods of blue sky, with no clouds. As a landscape photographer, this always makes me sad, since without a dramatic backdrop, images seem flat. When we do have the kind of weather system that paints dramatic skies, I always drop everything! This happens most effectively during monsoon season in mid-late summer... which is when this was taken. There's nothing like the light of a technicolor sunset bouncing off of the ocean and cliffs of the California coast! I always use a tripod when I photograph scenes like this.. and here, used a slower shutter speed to soften the water just a bit. The waves and textures of the surf contributed to the active drama in this one, so I wasn't going for such a long exposure that it would eliminate the character. My goal was simply to soften it a bit, so it appeared dreamy but still real. Moments like this, standing on the bluffs over looking the ocean always make me feel like I can fly!

Piering

Capitola, CA Peering, leering, staring too Why’d you have to make me blue? Sneering, jeering, shouting names I’m not one to point the blame. But if you sneer and leer and jeer Remember this, and crystal clear the thoughts you think, the words you use, Will lift you, build you, or abuse. So will you once upon this day Speak only that which you would say To lovers, sweethearts those you love And shower glory from above. Capitola Pier, California
