After a rather disappointing year of shooting the coast in 2014 I decided to re-emphasize where it all began: coast seascapes. When I first became serious at landscape photography I started with seascapes for their proximity and their difficulty level. With seascapes, one has to constantly be on his/her toes as the conditions are ever-changing and the dynamic seas forces one to practice extreme caution.

In the span of January of 2015 I managed to exceed the number of seascape images I captured in all of 2014 (Yes, my seascapes were that awful last year). Despite my main camera being out of action I still had my old reliable workhorse.

Throughout January the Bay Area has seen its share of beautiful sunsets and sunrises. Aaron and I made our way down to the Santa Cruz coastline to Hole-in-the-Wall beach. The waves this afternoon were some of the largest and most forceful I have seen along the coast. After scouting out a bit I decided to focus on a rocky outcrop at the top of a channel.

All along we saw a gap along the horizon and patiently waited for the sun to set. Shortly after setting, the sun produced the after burn that lit up much of the sky in intense pinks. Short-lived, the peak light lasted no more than 5 minutes but it was long enough for me to capture the right wave action.

The ‘Second Beach’ in Washington during sunset … I was waiting almost a week for this. 😉

Intensely red sunset afterglow permeates low fog, as giant waves recede on the incredible sandstone formations of Oregon’s Cape Kiwanda.

I recently found myself here for about the dozenth time. While similar compositions have been done here before (see Ryan Dyar’s excellent image that initially inspired me to check out this spot a few years back), I’m not going to turn down shooting it again with atmospheric conditions like these coinciding with the proper tides.
