The weather was a bit on and off while I was in Santa Cruz last weekend. This thick cloud of fog came in the afternoon, so you only had a few hours in the morning to get any decent photos that weren’t foggy.
The main shot I wanted in Santa Cruz was of the Davon Port pier, but I didn’t time the tide right, so it didn’t happen the day I was there. I did stop at a few other little spots to see if there was any potential for a good photo.
This was one of the spots: Bridge Rock. At first, I wasn’t going to shoot here since the weather was bad and there were many people, but I decided to shoot for a few minutes to see what happened. I used my ND500 filter to create that smooth look, and it actually turned out pretty cool. The clouds blocked the sun, so there was this nice, even light on everything, making for some vibrant colors.
