Chasing the Light

This year was a year of local re-exploration and chasing the light as much as possible.

I learned so much about myself as a landscape photographer; it was definitely a year of growth for me. One of my biggest goals for this year was to find and photograph a new-to-me location every time I was able to get out and capture the sunset. This resulted in the following observation.

If you already looked right under your nose; look again

I can't tell you how many times I thought I knew a spot like the back of my hand, only to discover a new little nook. Some of these discoveries left me with my jaw on the ground, at the beauty that was hiding just around the corner. The takeaway here is that you should always push your limits when you are out exploring, while of course using common sense and exercising caution. Get your feet wet and you'll be surprised what's around the corner sometimes.

Going along with that, and something I have mentioned before, is that the seascapes are constantly changing. Big swells surging, currents, and tide swings move and shift the sand around. Caves that were there yesterday are gone tomorrow. Rock formations look different at the same location in just a few week's time. It never ceases to amaze me and it keeps me going back, to find that new angle, new rock, new cave. I love it.

These locations are mostly on the Central Coast, including Pismo Beach, Avila, Shell Beach, Morro Bay, Oceano, but also Yosemite and Cuyama.
