Saurabh Deoras > "Shores of Garrapata" Location: Garrapata State Park, Monterey-Carmel Area, California. As a contrast to the crashing waves beating down on the stacks I decided to go for a more surreal image. Here I exposed the image for one and a half minute that caused ripples in the ocean to "average" out and render the ocean smooth. This way a minimalist composition can be achieved and the beauty of the seastacks can be highlighted. [Purchase print or digital license] Tech Info: Lens: Canon EF 70-200 f/4L IS @89mm Camera: Canon 5D Mk II Exposure: 90sec at f/18 and ISO 50 Filters: Solid Hoya ND 8 stop + SinghRay ND Grad 2 stop hard edge Some amount of light is often required to obtain a good contrast in the image but that makes it difficult to obtain long exposure times. For such cases a solid neutral density filter is very helpful. An 8-stop filter can cut down enough light to allow for a minute and a half long exposure time.
Saurabh Deoras > "Fog City - San Francisco Skyline" Location: Fort Baker, San Francisco, California. The magic hour at dusk is a great time to shoot the skyline of the city. I liked the golden lights that had just switched on and were illuminating the fog layer above the city. The fog can be quite dramatic during summer months and can seen rolling into the bay at evening. This is a very high resolution image where can see individual windows in the buildings and can also read the text on the Fort Mason building.

I had originally planned on shooting the bridge which is just to the right but light was better looking towards the skyline. And if you are in mood for crab you can also catch some here.
Saurabh Deoras > "Crashing Waves" Location: Garrapata State Park, Monterey, California. The relentless forces of nature beat down on these two very famous and often photographed sea stacks of the Garrapata coastline. The stacks were once part of the coastline that has long been eroded and claimed by the sea. Every winter the pacific ocean kicks into action sending large waves that constantly redefine the geology of this place.

This image is the result of so-called continuous shooting. I realized that it was terribly difficult to press the shutter button right at the moment when a wave would hit the stacks. Fortunately today's SLR's have continuous shooting mode where a burst of images can be shot allowing for one of them to have all the right elements in place.
Saurabh Deoras > "San Gregorio Sand Pattern" Location: San Gregorio State Beach, Half-Moon Bay Area, California. There are hardly any visitors on this beach, which I found quite surprising. The beach has spectacular sandy shores that are patterned by the water movement. Few ancient volcanic rocks, similar to the one seen here, punctuate the seemingly infinite expanse of these shores.
