This was 129 seconds using a Polarie Vixen tracker...using 'star' mode so the foreground suffers a bit with the wind hitting the trees. 16mm, f2.8, ISO400
This Old section of Hwy80 was once a Mother Road, it winded through the mountains near Jacumba, down to the Anza Borrego Desert far below. Later The highway was straightened and widened and this section was bypassed. Today it looks like a view of the Post Apocalyptic World.
Something a little different than the recent images...as I work my way through some older shots from last year. This one's from, yes, the San Diego marina on my business trip out there last year. It was nice to get out a shoot a little after being cooped up in meetings all day. :-D
The rocky shoreline is really exposed during low tide making way for great foregrounds. However, at high tide the shoreline changes somewhat. Instead the ocean begins to move inward and fills the area covering rocky formations and hiding what was once visible.
In this scene I was perched on one of the taller banks on the shore and prepared my composition. As the waves came crashing in I liked how the water would meet up in the sandy area below, swash around for a bit and then return out to sea. With each consecutive wave the water would meet, do its Tango, and then go their separate ways.
Directly in front of the Seaport Village Deli is the San Diego Pier Cafe. It’s a great looking restaurant in some prime real estate because it sits out over the water on a short pier. The ambiance is great and the view is spectacular, especially if you have a window seat. The building is pretty cool because it kind of has a Shingle style of architecture that reminds me of what places might look like in New England or Maine.

These gorillias were pretty fun to watch. The gorillia in the foreground was quite active, walking here and there. When he sat there, it was almost as if he was posing for our pictures - what a smart little guy.
