Gold Island

Trinidad State Beach, California.

 

OK time to take a break from Death Valley. This is from a Memorial weekend trip up to northern California and southern Oregon with my wife. The weather wasn't that great for photography most days, but for this one sunset things worked out. Marc Adamus and Steve Sieren have made some breathtakingly beautiful images here, with a lupine patch as a foreground. As nice as that scene is I wanted something a little different, so I went down to the surf.

 

Processing was pretty tedious. 1 exposure for the FG, 1 for the water highlights and sky, and 1 for the sky highlights.

 

Comments and critiques greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking!
