Just north of Big Sur in Calif. the fog cleared enough that I stopped the car and walked a short distance to see this view.

Found this beach very near the coastal rocks near Big Sur.

La Rue Obscure is the oldest street in the old town of Villefranche sur Mer on the French Riviera, between Nice and Monaco. It was built on virgin soil at the beginning of the 13th century. La Rue Obscure formed the basis of the rest of the town’s construction on the slopes rising from this coastal lane. It gave inhabitants of the town certain refuge against possible attacks. The ship captains who were forced by storms to anchor in the bay, could make necessary repairs in safety. La Rue Obscure also welcomed precious merchandise, such as wine, in its cellars.

Taken at the ‘Super Secret Sunset Site’, this is a touch of one of the less spectacular Big Sur sunsets. The sun didn’t set on the true horizon; it set on a fog bank well offshore that was so thick it acted as solid as mountain. Obviously, fog isn’t flat so instead of getting a relatively level horizon, I got a weird blend of level and humpy, solid and semi-transparent. But the thrill was in the chase… This location is one of the most photographed sites in Big Sur, tho not as easily recognizable in this framing. The beach is pristine, the rock formations stunning and dramatic, and the sunsets… Well, for a few weeks of the year, the sun sets in a way that creates an extremely artistic vision that one MUST see to truly appreciate. The trick is to know when and how to find this place. It’s clearly unmarked. LOL! For it being as fantastic as it is and not to have even the hint of a sign telling you where it is has to be indicative of very protective residents and a tourist industry that doesn’t need this site’s exact location well known. And the season for seeing the visual miracle is short and rare on a foggy coastline. If you get it all to come together just once tho, you will know exactly what Henry Miller meant when he commented that this was what God intended for a coastline to be. About the shot – There were numerous photographer in this spot because they all knew what was possibly coming and not the sound of a casual tourist to be found. (My guide knew; I didn’t). The area closes at sunset so your window of opportunity is a bit slim to say the least. So getting set up for one of four events is the hard part and getting set up for ALL four possible events is a challenge for the serious photographers only. You need to be able to aim four ways in seconds, know the timing of the waves, know how to get your camera’s ISO adjusted to catch what you want four different ways, deal with sand so thick that the vital tripod will ruin your composition so subtly you won’t know it was lost, and juggle noise reduction (on the digital cameras). In other words, catching all four events is a task for a Master Photographer because luck won’t cut it. I gave up after about 30 minutes of flicking back and forth between shots, copying what the experts did who were standing next to me but hopelessly outgunned with gear and technique. I was missing the two shots I had a chance for and fouling up the timing on the third. The forth wasn’t gonna happen and the pros knew that but didn’t let on. The sunset was the only “easy” shot and it required ISO changes, shutter speed changes, and a great eye for colour. I knew how to do the first with the D80, I bracketed exposures for the second, and I had my guide for the third so I got the sunset and waves fairly well a number of times. The tide rushing in over the huge rocks and thru the tunnels and caves took timing I couldn’t figure out so I just shot a couple hundred shots and hoped for the best, using changes in shutter speed to capture the waves or blend them into cream. Unfortunately, the slower the shot, the brighter it gets so one must work with aperture quickly or get burned out shots between completely black ones as you over-adjust both ways since bracketing doesn’t give enough options. If you’re a professional photographer, this is your location. If you’re an amature wanting to try your hand at the really hard stuff, this is your location. If you love seeing God’s Glory exploding at you in three directions at once, enough to make you gasp from sensory overload, this is your location. If you’re a guy like me who wants it all, this location is where you will see what you’ve got to capture what the REAL MASTER laid out before you. Let it be a challenge to you.

Another shot of the absolutely stunning sunset from the Big Sur coast. This shot isn’t enhanced so the colours should be about as accurate as eyes would have seen if looking at the scene from the beach. The camera’s exposure setting wasn’t particularly long but the ISO was up there a bit, tho Nikon says there shouldn’t be much noise until it get a LOT higher up than I had it. I did have a rather wide aperture tho. I could have used the camera’s PROGRAM setting to control shutter speed and aperture but I was experimenting with my own ability to make the settings on MANUAL, tho this was the first shot of a three-shot (shutter speed) bracket. The other two shots were far too light with my boosted ISO setting. PS The horizon is level but you’ll have to trust me on this. I used the leveling tool on the tripod and matched it with the guide lines I always leave showing in the camera’s display. But between the non-level fog bank, the fading light from left to right, the semi-curved waves, and the completely angled beach, the eye can get quite confused as to what was the deciding factor.

California’s Big Sur coast. Taken with Toyo 4×5 view camera and Provia 100 film. Approx 3 minute exposure. The 4×5 inch green box of Fuji Provia slide film contains ten unrecorded personal perspectives waiting to be shared with the world. In darkness, I load each precious sheet into individual film holders, feeling the film reference marks to ensure that the emulsion faces outward. The holder will be inserted into my Toyo A2 4×5 large format view camera on location in my garden, at a nearby lake or perhaps the Eastern Sierra Mountains. Nearly a year has past since my friend Gary encouraged me to pursue large format photography. Gary brokered a deal to purchase a camera from another friend, Sam. Along with the Toyo, Sam included 150 mm, 210 mm and 300 mm lenses. It would take some training and practice to learn to use the new camera but I was enthusiastic to learn a new way of studying the world. Held to the light, the details of a sharply focused 4×5 inch slide image capture my attention and even offer the possibility of crafting a mural-sized print. The view camera’s tilt and shift movements enhance creativity. But, there is another reason that I put my 35 mm camera on the shelf and focused on the view camera. The view camera forces me to slow down, to dedicate each shoot to a single image, or possibly two, to tell a story in a special way. My 35 mm camera and zoom lenses provide the ability to move quickly and capture many perspectives of the landscape, maybe too many perspectives. The Toyo’s workflow allows me to interject more thought into a single perspective, to try to tell a story in a special way. I focus on the big picture, the quality of light and color on the land. I find landscape details during hikes and often return to favorite locations. I arrive with the Toyo and merely have a feeling about a spot, trying to prevent preconceptions from tainting my composition. On location, I am ready to shoot. A composition is isolated, my tripod leveled, camera mounted and lens attached. I study the upside down inverted image on the ground glass and focus the bellows mounted lens. Tilts and shift are used to capture desired depth of field. Then I stop down the lens, set the shutter speed, close and cock the shutter and insert the film holder. Finally, I open the sleeve of the film holder and release the shutter to capture the cool blue light of predawn. I capture the moment as I gaze upon a window-like portal in a rock formation along California’s Big Sur coastline. It is not this photographic process that is important for me. Actually it is not even the final image that drives me to photograph with the Toyo. The Toyo simply allows me to interact with the simple details of nature, to imagine and create in a personal and rewarding way by slowing down and enjoying the beauty before me.

/ Édouard Manet, 23 January 1832 – 30 April 1883, was a French painter. One of the first nineteenth century artists to approach modern-life subjects, he was a pivotal figure in the transition from Realism to Impressionism. / His early masterworks The Luncheon on the Grass and Olympia engendered great controversy, and served as rallying points for the young painters who would create Impressionism. Today these are considered watershed paintings that mark the genesis of modern art. This is basically a cinema 4D render; just added some visual elements in postwork to enhance the whole atmosphere; original is a full color render; it was just at the last moment that I decided to tone it down. / (CINEMA 4D is a commercial, cross-platform, high-end 3-D graphics application, produced by MAXON Computer, Germany.)
