Out to Sea, Garrapata Beach, Big Sur

Gary Hart (California, United States) on 16 January 2012 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Sometimes the worst conditions for photography are the best conditions for creativity. California has been warm and dry this winter--great weather for being outside, but not so great for photography. It's these times that remind photographers that the best photography requires more than iconic landscapes and spectacular conditions, and in fact can (and does) happen frequently without either. I say more here.

This is a neat move away from the usual long exposure tide shot in that you have caught the shifting sands, too . . it adds an extra reality, somehow.

I just love this Gary- I love the movement in the foreground leading to the rocks and surf...Strange days here indeed, but I hear that rain is coming!

Such a great choice of shutter speed and lens length to create your own lead in lines.

Very nice...enjoy the texture of the rough sand, its colour leading our eye to the greenish water and rocks beyond. Simple yet very effective. stars. :OD

When we stand on the beach and the waves come in and cover our ankles and then the waves draw out and take all the sand around our feet and we sink a bit and wee can feel it...THAT'S what I feel when I see this image. OUTSTANDING, Gary...I love this :-)

superbly composed with a great shutter speed! i love the leading lines formed by the motion of the water - they take the eye right in towards the rocks in the background!
