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.
