Notes From the Field - Laguna Creek Beach, Part I

Notes from the Field is a photography series where I take you on a virtual trip to the places where I do my shoots and talk through all the things that are going through my head as I try to make eye-catching nature photographs.

In part one of this talk I head to Laguna Creek Beach near Santa Cruz, California in order to do a little seascape photography. I talk about how I ultimately choose my composition, and my choices for shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. There's even a brief cameo by an elephant seal.

In part two I take you through my post-processing workflow and show you how I take the raw files I shot on scene and turn them into the final image for prints and presentation.
