Hole in the Wall Beach, Santa Cruz, 10-10-2012

California coastal photography workshop

Fall is finally bringing some interesting clouds back to the Santa Cruz coast and I am dusting off my seascape chops. On October 10th I went out to photograph Hole in the Wall Beach, in my opinion the most beautiful beach in the Santa Cruz area. The sunset was lovely: lots of color and texture. […]

Tempest

Hole in the Wall Beach sunset, Santa Cruz, California

Taken at Hole in the Wall Beach near Santa Cruz, California on March 17th, 2012 It was a battle. Me versus the wind. For every blow I would land in the form of a good shot, the wind would land a punch of its own by covering me with salt spray, tipping my tripod up […]

Surf’s Up

Wilder Ranch State Park beach sunset, Santa Cruz, California

Taken in Wilder Ranch State Park on March 11th, 2012 On March 11th the front of a major storm system hit Santa Cruz and brought a wonderfully-textured pink and purple sunset with it. I hit the beach looking for waves but never imagined I would find one carved naturally in the sand. When I shoot […]

Keyhole

Sunlight shines through the arch at Pfieffer Beach in Big Sur, California

Taken at Pfieffer Beach in Big Sur, California on December 9th, 2011. In the winter there is a very interesting photographic phenomenon that occurs in California. At Pfieffer Beach in Big Sur, the setting sun shines at just the right angle to shine through the keyhole of a mighty arch to illuminate the sea spray […]

Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Wilder Ranch State Park beach sunset, Santa Cruz, California

Taken at Three Mile Beach in Wilder Ranch State Park on May 15th, 2011 This bridge is possibly my favorite feature along the Santa Cruz coast. At high tide the crashing waves flow right under the bridge. And in rough seas the pounding of the ocean can actually be felt through the bridge, providing a […]

Fury

Panther Beach stormy sunset, Santa Cruz, California

Taken at Panther Beach near Santa Cruz on March 25th, 2011 Nature photographers can tread a fine line between dangerous and dramatic. On the day I took this shot I originally had planned to teach a photography workshop. But the other instructor and I decided to reschedule because of the risk of rain, hail, and […]

Buried Treasure

San Gregorio State Beach sunset, Half Moon Bay, California

Taken at San Gregorio State Beach near Half Moon Bay, California on February 16th, 2011 San Gregorio State Beach has the glassiest sand I’ve ever seen. The beach is so smooth and flat that the reflections that set up in the sand are nothing short of astounding. This section of the beach in particular was […]

Fire and Foam

Davenport Main Beach Seastack at sunset, Davenport, California

Taken at Davenport main beach in Davenport, California on February 4th, 2011 Davenport main beach holds two very interesting attractions for me as a photographer. One is the prominent seastack. The second (and more alluring, in my opinion) is a series of rocky fingers that rise up out of the sand. The fingers are only […]

Hole in the Wall Beach sunset, Santa Cruz, California

Taken at Hole in the Wall beach near Santa Cruz, California on December 7th, 2010 On a night with an extremely low tide I visited my favorite beach in Santa Cruz to see what had been exposed. And much to my happiness, a cluster of interesting rocks I had never shot was accessible. I was […]
