Heaven Down Here

Inspired by the title of a Tuck & Patti song, this spot, McWay Falls in Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, reminds me of the sheer beauty to be experienced here on earth.

 

This delicately arranged beach cove, complete with an 80-ft waterfall is utterly enchanting. The aqua water really is that color, no foolin'! I arrived here just as the sun was setting and caught the last bit of golden light on the cliff faces.

 

The lens is an older 35mm f/3.5 on the Pentax 645D. This is a 2-exposure manual blend. I used the Hoya 9-stop ND to achieve a 90-sec exposure to smooth out the water texture. Some Nik color efex for color and contrast.

 

Hope you like it!
