Seldom Scene Photography

It's just life, but from a different perspective

Past that rocky shore

Taken from Muir Beach toward the southeast — a bit of San Francisco’s in there somewhere…

On our “spring break” trip to the bay area, we wound up having gray and rainy weather most of our stay (surprise!). So photographically, there was little to do but make the best of the situation.

Since we had time to linger a bit at Muir Beach, it managed to put my Blue & Gold polarizer to use in this shot — helps give things a suitably noir feel.

On the beach

At the ruins of Tulúm in Quintana Roo, Mexico:

You can’t actually walk on this beach (it’s reserved for nesting sea turtles), but a trail through the site runs right past it — and it makes a great foreground for shots like this! The only real problem is that trash tends to wash up after storms, so you need to clone it out of your shot (since, obviously, you can’t walk out and get it off the beach).
