December 2, 2007 – Natural Arch
36°56’58.51″N 122° 3’27.28″W
Taken during a Palo Alto Camera Club field trip to Natural Bridges State Park near Santa Cruz, CA. In the foreground is a seaweed root ball washed up on the beach. Though it was almost noon, the sun remains low in the sky.
This was a tough picture to get the right exposure on because I was shooting directly into the sun and the arch was in shadow. I shot it in RAW mode and was able to coax out the details in Lightroom.
