The Great Cathedral by the Sea

Since Saturday's rewarding dawn shoot at Cathedral Rocks (about 90 minutes away), I have processed and uploaded two more images.  The most dramatic image from the shoot would have to be this image: All of the elements were aligned: the sky was moody, the water was flowing, and the rocks were colourful and texture-laden.  I [ continue reading ]
