I was in San Fran early in January for the Bay Area Photowalk. This image was created on the Monday after the Photowalk. I met up with Nathan Wirth , Athena Carey , Alan Allum and John Kosmopoulos for breakfast and spent a wonderful day shooting around Pacifica and beyond with such amazing company.

 

The weather conditions for the entire trip were really special and the Monday was certainly no exception. The crowds had all departed after the crazy busy Photowalk weekend, so I had my favorite people all to myself. The Pacifica Pier is pretty damn cool and makes for a very interesting subject. I shot this at beach level, which meant that I had to be on my toes at all times and was prepared to run back up the stairs at any given moment.

 

I used a 10 stop and 3 stop ND filter and 3 stop hard grad ND filter, to get the right level of contrast in the sky, water and around the rock shelves.
