Big Sur - a photo on Flickriver

Big Sur

Here's one from back in June as I made a slow trip up the California coast. That was my absolute favorite part of my six months on the road. I LOVED Big Sur, San Francisco, Redwoods National Park. The California coast is just spectacular!

This was a very long time exposure, shot in almost complete darkness. This was about a seven minute time exposure. I've been wanting to work on this one for months. It took quite a bit of work evening out the lighting in photoshop. It was just a single exposure, but I opened the same exposure several times in camera raw trying to pull out more highlight and shadow detail and more contrast in the sky.
