Just arrived in California and I am making my way up the coast from LA (currently in Monterrey). The coastline is spellbinding, especially the Big Sur, but what struck me as a photographer is the large amount of haze. I had always heard Hollywood was placed where it was because of the amazingly good light, but all I have seen is harsh light and haze. Light is amazing first thing in the morning, but presumably you need a few more hours to work with if you are shooting a "talkie". The evening golden hour still has haze.
So what gives? Just curious. Is it not normally so hazy? Or is it different in Hollywood than right next to the coast? Or is this the right type of light for movies? Or do they only shoot outdoors until 10 o'clock and then go inside?
Loving it in the USA so far, the only downside is the coffee. But there again hotel coffee in Europe is nothing to write home about.
