One more shot from Pfeiffer State Beach. Took this one as I reached the beach when I got about 2 minutes to shoot the bridge head on without anyone walking through the frame. I like this shot a little better than the one where the sun is setting through the arch.

Thanks for visiting. Hope you all have a good day..

wow wow wow! so three days ago I had reached about 850k views on flickr and was wondering what I need to achieve a Million views by the end of the year 2014. Then I posted the Manhattan Beach Pier shot which got explored and flickr views went crazy. In three days I crossed over to a final tally, at the time of writing, of 1,057,039 views. I am truly blown away and awed by all the comments and interest on my photos. This is pretty awesome and thanks everyone for visiting and their kind words.

Here is another shot I took at the Big Sur trip. This was taken a soon as I reached the Pfeiffer beach, the sun was still high and the light was coming through the arch of the bridge as if coming from another portal illuminating the shadows in front of the bridge. Most of the photographers were positioned directly in front of the arch trying to get the shot I posted earlier so this one was pretty easy to take.

Thanks for visiting again..

So finally after bugging my wife for a while she agreed to make a trip up to Big Sur with me to shoot the Pfeiffer beach at sunset. I have had the opportunity to shoot this beautiful natural bridge before and heard from many friends that January is the month to be here as you will be able to observe the setting sun through the arch of the Bridge.

Unfortunately for me, many of the photographers in the area had the same Idea and that combined with the fact that it was a long weekend just made the usually peaceful beach a hugely popular destination. I literally had to walk half a mile to the beach carrying my gear while my wife and sis-in-law tried to find parking. Anyways the fact that I got a glimpse of the sun just going down made it all worthwhile. So here is the money shot from the trip, I used a 86mm focal length along with sot metering to get this shot. Thanks for visiting my pictures..
