Pigeon Point On Fire - a photo on Flickriver

Another shot from my quick trip up the coast last month. Although my original intent was to shoot the Pfeiffer Arch at Big Sur, I was hoping that I could catch some early morning color if I went North of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse and shot back towards the South. When I arrived it was pitch black and I couldn't tell if I was sitting in a bank of fog or not until the sky began to grow lighter. As the light grew stronger, I thought I might be in luck as it looked like there were some nice high clouds above. Sure enough, just before sunrise, the entire sky to the South East caught fire and I shot both with the 28-300 on the tripod and the 14-24 handheld. I must have ran around on the top of that bluff for at least 45 minutes before I remembered to breathe.

If you've never been there, Pigeon Point Lighthouse is just North of Santa Cruz before you get to Half Moon Bay. It's about a 45 minute drive South from San Francisco.
