I titled it “Sickened” because after standing in ocean water for an hour I came down with a nasty cold. The things we landscape photographers put ourselves through! It was a beautiful evening at Land’s End in San Francisco, and evidently everyone thought so. I don’t think I have ever seen so many photographers at this place in one night.
Watching the tides at sunset is something I find hard to put into words. Seascape photography has really only been a huge part of portfolio for about a year or so. But I have had a strong connection with the ocean my entire life. The beach is where I do a lot of thinking and where I go to relieve stress, in a way seascape photography is like meditation for me.
Beaches seem to change day by day, progressing tides covering and revealing new formations. Every wave crash having a slightly different shape and a different form. Every time I revisit a costal location, I always find something new or something that I might have missed the first time around.
This specific photo has been on my list to capture for a long time, I kept visiting this beach getting poor conditions every single attempt. However this time I finally got some light that complimented the composition and fulfilled the vision I had for the photograph.
I really hope you all enjoy the photograph, thanks so much for checking it out.
I definitely struggled finding a comp that I was happy with here. However, there was this flower bed, which I have actually shot before and didn’t like the shot I got. I think this time though, I am pretty happy with the outcome. This is a 6 image focus stack.
