Thanks guys... that shot is only available 2 times a year for a day or two. It is swarmed with photographers when it does happen.
Similar for the Mavericks tidal pools... only once every few years does the tide go out that far. The rock in the background is where the huge waves start the break that Maverick's is known for.

Lovely shots. The one on the beach with the people draws me in. I think part of it is that this type of shot is not in my repertoire but looking at this one I think it should be.
I will share a few of my favourites from a trip to Vancouver Island a few years ago. BC is a very photogenic place. The sepia shot I originally processed in Aperture, this is my attempt at redoing it in Lightroom. I am not sure I got the sepia quite to my liking, like the original. This was my 1st time playing around with sepia in Lightroom I need some practice.

Thanks but it looks like it is in your repertoire... I love images like yours above as it hits so many notes it's hard not to smile. Even better if that is your family !!! Man, you guys are makin me homesick looking at BC. I love that area and especially Vancouver's Stanley park, such a killer city.

Hi Folks.
Some lovely shots here already, I'm impressed by all of them, but the door and rock pools by Pookie and the tree arch by Capturing Light are special.
I think I might use this subject as inspiration for me and my two photography buddies, see if we can't find something on the west of here to shoot.
Cheers, Graham.

If anyone is near the California coast this holiday... the Door will be in perfect alignment for the end of December beginning of January.
It's a bit difficult to find if you've never been there and the parking lot is quite small so get there early and stake your claim to a front seat. I've literally seen hundreds of photographers packing the beach for about 20-40 minutes when it's available.

1) The southern piece of my west coast - Falsterbo. Looking out to the west towards a distant (unseen) Copenhagen, Denmark. At the horizon parts of the Øresundsbron, that connects Sweden with Denmark, can be seen faintly.
2) A summer sunset from Båstad. Slightly further to the north, but still on the west coast.

The family is mine. ;D The reason that I say that it is not in my repertoire is because it has that candid street feel to it. Obviously not really street in this case, I don't seem to do much of the candid people photos. The photo above leaves some mystery to it in that why are two people so into their phones when clearly they should be taking photosPookie said:
or takin in the nature. The lighting and color of course is wonderful as well.

Perfect family picture
That was my exact feeling at the time. We had been finding all kinds of crazy sea life in the pools... it was so freaking cool and then I looked over and this woman was so into texting she couldn't even bother to look up. For me, even if I'm out for landscapes, I always end up taking photos of people. Even fellow photographers out for landscape excursion with me.I took this with one of my 5D3's on a tripod and the other one had a fisheye on a sling... looked across at my buddy and he was perfectly framed.
