Bowling Ball Beach

I visited Bowling Ball Beach back in September. As I learned, you can only really see the "bowling balls" at low tide. But to get good pictures on this west facing beach you really need to be there at sunset. (Or perhaps at night.) I'll know better next time. I had written off the pictures, but last week I decided to give them another try. It turns out that a monochrome conversion gives it an interesting look even though it's shot into the sun.



Someone told me it looks like a bunch of stone headed men slowly rising from the water. 

(Conversion with Silver Efex Pro2 using a slight selenium tone.)

Yosemite

I finally got to go to Yosemite. I'm ashamed to admit it's my first time, although I have lived in the Bay Area since 1995. Here are a couple of the photos. The rest can be found on my main site under Yosemite.
