This place looks very familiar .. I wonder if it the beach off the Cabrillo highway?

MaggieMac said 984 days ago:

Hi Beamer..seeing as it's you maybe it is the place I am thinking of? If so you captured it well.

Beamer said 984 days ago:

I took this in the late '70's in the Big Sur area. Don't know exactly where. This is TriX shot with my old college era camera, a Minolta SRT 101 w/55mm f-1.7 MC Rokkor. It's the only camera I had for many years. I still have it. The shutter isn't working well and the lens has fungus, so it sits on the shelf!! I scanned this with my Nikon Coolscan 4000.

MaggieMac said 984 days ago:

Thanks for the info regarding where you shot this.. it so looks like the Coast highway from SF to Santa Cruz .. did you climb down a steep path to get this shot? I have been to Big Sur a number of times and can't place this shot.. not that that statement means much as I am surely not familiar with all of the Big Sur region.

Beamer said 984 days ago:

Yep!! For sure a steep climb, lubricated by some acid probably, or at least some hash...

Somewhere I've got a high view of this, not sure I scanned it but I'll look tomorrow if I get the time...

Looked around a little on Google Earth, probably here or nearby:

not bad.

MaggieMac said 984 days ago:

Thanks Beamer.. I will look it up and go there as I am always on the hunt for another spacial place to photograph.

Super splash!

crispin said 984 days ago:

Nice shot showing the power of the ocean. More detail on the left would have helped.

King said 983 days ago:

Beautiful tones in this dramatic photo. Is this film? High marks.

King said 983 days ago:

@Beamer...crispin is probably right about shadow detail on the left, but I was overlooking that.

I thought this *might* be yours. Go Film!

King said 983 days ago:

@Beamer, I think I'm beginning to get a feel for your very fine style.

Beamer said 983 days ago:

Style that has been in my eye for some time I guess. This was shot in late '70s!!

lbimaging said 980 days ago:

I'm not really good at spotting whether something is shot with film or not, but this at least makes me think film. Very high contrast and some "empty" space on the left, but when viewed as a whole, a powerful image.

lbimaging said 980 days ago:

Hey Beamer. Btw, all 5s. Thanks for the shooting info. I can't believe I guessed right about the film. ;-)
