A great photo spot at Natural Bridges State Park outside of Santa Cruz, California. I used my Nikon D3100, Sigma 10-20mm, lens, some cheap GND filters and a tripod. I had to time my photo within the sets so the tripod didn't get knocked over.

Taken in Half Moon Bay, California. I used a series of cheap ND and Graduated ND filters which gave the scene a magenta hue. After correcting the colors in Photoshop, I realized I liked it better the way it was.

This was a shot looking up at the redwoods on the Roaring Camp Railroad, thus the smoke in the air. The steam from the engine made the sunlight piercing through the trees come to life. Felton, California

A shot out the window while driving over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California. It seemed to disappear into the fog.

Converted to black and white and touched up a bit in Adobe Photoshop.
