Shot 25 of 31 in B&W October Project

 

Sooooo close. My goal is to have these done before obviously not posting this weekend.

 

I won't hate on this one like I did my attempt at symmetry. I'm actually pretty happy with the result and am psyched what the square crop did. Shooting at 10mm then doing a 1x1 can make that depth of field seemingly last for miles. This is a decent sized cove and I was backed up to the end of the point (watching for the big, unexpected set to take me, or worse, my gear, out of commission). I love Big Sur and all I've seen up North.... but I can't stay away from Montana de Oro State Park. This stretch of about 6 miles of coast has become my favorite area in California. The weather is almost always pretty extreme, and to catch a good sunset is rare...but when you do...it just doesn't get better.

 

This was shot a few months back and I've been waiting to get after it as a B&W.

 

I'd love feedback here. I like the spot so much and am so close to the shot I'm sure I missed some details in post..
