Soaking Up the Scenes and Taking Photos of the Beautiful Big Sur Coast, California.

Earlier this year I had an opportunity to return home to the Bay Area from southern California following the beautiful, world-famous, and rugged Big Sur coast. Here are a selection of some images that I captured over the course of a few days soaking in the scenery and putting my still-kinda-new-to-me camera body through some more learning paces. It had been a couple of years since my last visit (pre-pandemic) so I didn’t have any expectations of mind-bending, epic-lighting scenes. This was more a trip of just enjoying the scenery. I also got to hang out with a friend to re-explore some familiar spots.

So on with the photos…  I hope you enjoy them and I’d love to know if you have a favorite image or two.  🙂
