Saurabh Deoras > "Cliff View"
Location: San Gregorio State Beach, San Mateo County, California.

I have been looking for a place that gave a sense of vast open space. The long sandy shores of San Gregorio beach gave a perfect vantage point and during winter this beach is hardly visited, all of which helped create this image.

Saurabh Deoras > "Pacific Sunset II"
Location: Graywhale Cove, San Mateo County, California.

A long exposure with minimalist composition was definitely the way to go for this image. The sunset light that was reflecting off the water was very subtle and using long exposure the water was rendered smooth and quiet adding to the mood of the image.

Saurabh Deoras > "Sunset Light on Golden Gate"
Location: Golden Gate National Recreation Area, San Francisco, California.

It was a beautiful day in the bay and yet there was no one on the bridge!... Well, the truth is that I was witnessing one of the best lighting conditions and wanted to make the best of it photographically. Using long exposure time for this image I blurred all the cars on the bridge making it look empty. Hope you enjoy this view.

Saurabh Deoras > "Doomsday Forecast"
Location: Garrapata State Park, Monterey-Carmel Area, California.

It is sometimes fun to venture out on a stormy day. As the clouds were just getting ready for the downpour I decided to make this final shot before heading back to shelter.

Saurabh Deoras > "Passage of Time"
Location: Natural Bridges State Beach, Santa Cruz, California.

If you go to Santa Cruz, California, one of the interesting places to visit is the Natural Bridges State Beach. The name comes from a few naturally formed arches which once stood here. The very forces that create the arches gradually erode and cause them to collapse into the ocean. As the storm clouds move over northern California this last standing arch battles the elements one more time.

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.

Saurabh Deoras > "Pigeon Point Lighthouse"
Location: Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Half-Moon Bay Area, California.

The lighthouse was built in 1871 and stands at one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. On a cloudy I like to experiment using long exposures which not only allow me to smooth the water but also capture the wind driven motion of the clouds.

Saurabh Deoras > "California Coastline"
Location: Garrapata State Park, Monterey-Carmel Area, California.

The rugged California coastline around Big Sur area is one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. I have been fortunate enough to see and photograph it several times. My favorite time of the year to visit the coastline is during winter months when you can see interesting cloud formations and vibrant hues of sunset colors. This is a long exposure image which renders the water smooth and helps to bring out the beauty of the place further.
