Shooting seascapes in the summer in Santa Cruz (say that 5-times fast) is a tricky thing: the marine layer inhibits sunsets and makes capturing a worthwhile image all the more difficult. I rarely go out to shoot in the summer here, but since some excellent photographer friends of mine were in town, I made a point of going out to shoot with them, and was happy to come home with this shot.
How did I battle the fog and still come home with a nice image? Full details after the jump
