  • The Pacific Coast near Santa Cruz with its dramatic bluffs, rugged rocks, and sea stacks provide fascinating subjects for photography. I made this image at dusk as the last light in the sky reflected over the rugged rocks and the wave swept shoreline.<br />
Pacific Dusk was made near Santa Cruz in California.

  • Amongst the many reasons I love living in the San Francisco Bay Area is the easy access to a number of beautiful beaches! When I arrived at the beach in Santa Cruz, I was pleasantly surprised to see some low hanging clouds. As the sun went down the horizon, the clouds were set ablaze by the last light turning the beach into a riot of pastel hues.

  • As a winter storm approached the coast, dramatic anvil clouds seemed to be forming in the distance. The dramatic coastal bluffs helped anchor the image. The scene was rendered in to B&W to lay emphasis on the dramatic cloud formation.

  • After the sun had set on another gorgeous day on Central California’s coastline, the beach was bathed in the pink afterglow. This helped to simplify the color palette into pastel hues.<br />
Pastel Dreams was made at Pismo Beach in Central California.

    Sandstone Tafoni #1
  • The marine layer and fog is an integral part of Northern California’s Pacific coastline. While making this image, the morning fog seemed to blur boundaries between the green tinged waters near the coastline and everything else beyond including the sky thereby creating a world of near fantasy !
    Pacific Fantasia
  • The Pacific Northwest region is a photographer’s dream as it is home to many of the country’s most spectacular mountains and temperate rainforests. This region also boasts an array of lesser known but equally breathtaking places for photography.<br />

The ice cave where I made this image is one such gem that is off the beaten track in the Three Sisters Wilderness in Oregon. I was fortunate to be hiking here with a group as the trail is completely unmarked. Once we got to the ice cave, the opportunities for photography seemed endless. It was eerily wonderful to be making photographs inside the ice-cave even as the bright light of day seemed to be slowly melting away the ice. I wanted to showcase the light illuminating the ice cave walls and the water trickling from the roof of the cave.
    Deep Within
  • The Pacific coastline is replete with incredible opportunities for photography. The subjects are varied ranging from dramatic bluffs to sea stacks, craggy rocks, tafoni, and piers. The overall atmosphere is often enhanced by waves, storm clouds or the marine layer. It is no wonder this area attracts photographers from far and wide. <br />
<br />
I particularly enjoy making images late in the evening when most visitors are making a beeline for the exits ! At this hour, the entire coastline is enveloped in pastel hues and it is often hard to separate the expanse of the ocean, sky and shore. <br />
<br />
That was quite specifically the mood I intended to create while making this image. I waded far enough into the ocean to amplify the feeling of being amidst the infinite. The oncoming waves, cloudless skies and the marine layer induced haze were all enveloped in the hues of the setting sun rendering the scene in sweep of pastel pink !
