Bixby Bridge, Big Sur, California

Bixby Bridge was built in 1932, and at the time it was the longest concrete arch span bridge in California. I was fortunate this day when the sun peaked out behind the clouds and lit the water exposing its green hues. I also used a polarizer and combined multiple images at different exposures to get this image.

Sunrise, Buzzard's Roost, Big Sur

Fog rolling in from the ocean along Buzzard's Roost Trail in Big Sur. I woke up at 4 am to hike in the dark to get this shot.

Sunrise, Buzzard's Roost, Big Sur

Sunrise hits the mountains, with whips of fog peaking through the colorful trees. It reminded me of fall on the east coast. To see this sunrise, I got up at 4 am and hiked for an hour in the dark up a mountain. At times the trail was no more than 2 feet wide, one wrong step and I would have slid down the side of the mountain to a very uncomfortable landing. Thank goodness for headlamps! It was worth the trip! I took this image with my Canon 7D and Tamron's new 16-300 lens at 1/25 at f/14, 100 ISO with a tripod, polarizer and shutter release.
