McWay Cove and Falls, Big Sur, CA

First time out with my new 16-35mm f/4L. I did some 30s long exposures, but I actually don't like how they came out. I prefer this 1/10s exposure where you can see the clarity of the water.

Very nice.

very nice what time was it? looks like late afternoon I am debating on a surise shot vs sunset afternoon. I am going next week can't wait

Love that part of the country, nicely done on the image.

If I go again anytime soon, I'd like to get there in the mid-afternoon. I got there about an hour and a half before sundown and the falls were nicely lit, but the northern part of the cove was already in shadow because the sun is shining from the northwest at this time of the year, and the cove faces due west.

At sunrise everything is in shadow, that's definitely not when I'd go at any time of year.

I agree. We were there this summer and mid-afternoon the bay is nicely lit.
