Back to Big Sur

Just booked my trip for this weekend, thought I'd post this.

Please don't slam me too badly on the noisy scan. This is a really old scan and I don't wish to get the chrome out and scan it again right now as I'm still moving. I'm hoping you'll get a feel for the shot, anyway.

Toyo 45CF, Schneider 180mm, 81B, 4 sec @f64

Man if it weren't for all that noise. :wink:

Looks like a nice, moody image, Michael. I like the light grazing the cliffs in the FG. Enjoy your trip!

The scene is certainly amazing. Bummer about the noise, but I can see that's unavoidable. Maybe you'll get lucky with similar conditions this trip and you will get a second try at it!

Michael,

Noise? what noise? That's called "grain," remember? :biggrin:

Very moody and honestly pretty unique lighting for the coast. I see the fog is playing a big role here, but this just seems very different from anything I've seen or come across on the Big Sur coast. I really like how the light fades away in to the foggy background. Good luck with your upcoming trip. Wish I could make it down there this weekend...
