Picture: Coastal Pier and fog, Wm. R. Hearst Memorial State Beach, San Simeon Bay,
Central Coast, San Luis Obispo Co., California
This image was taken while on one of my first trips to the Cambria / San Simeon Coast while shooting for my California Coast book. This pier sits below the famous tourist landmark Hearst Castle, and is along the edge of a pristine and quiet little bay. I’ve always enjoyed the feeling of the fog and the tiny cresting wave in this image. I just had a chance to make a couple 24×36″ prints of this photo. One was a Limited Edition Lightjet, and the other was an Epson inkjet. It was very interesting to see and feel the tactile differences between the two printing methods. I still prefer the look, feel, and texture of the Lightjet, which is produced on real photographic paper, but the Epson is still quite impressive.
You can see more pictures from the Central California Coast in my online web gallery.
