Infinity - Pacifica, CA

Venti size

 

Last week, I received my "big stopper" and I was itching to get out and use it; so, I headed out to the coast and eventually landed in Pacifica, CA. This city is usually blanketed by fog so I was really crossing my fingers for some nice clouds. As I arrived it started to sprinkle, so I pulled out my golf umbrella and shot away. The rain continued so I had no choice but to shoot the pier from this location. The rain eventually gave up and I shot other comps, but to be honest I liked this one the best. Long exposures (B&W) are not as easy as you think and takes lots of patience. By the way, the "big stopper" is a must in every landscape photographer's bag. It's so much easier then the round screw on type.

 

Here in the bay area, we are lucky to be schooled by local black & white master, Steve. Click here for some serious black & white inspiration.

 

Hope you all have a great holiday weekend and may you and your camera find some beautiful light. As always, thanks for your support and visits. Jave
