Point Sur

from $180.00

For the second day’s sunset during the Big Sur trip, I was eager to check out the Keyhole Arch at Pfeiffer Beach - unfortunately, many others had the same idea and the ranger at the state’s parking area was turning everybody away. We could have done a 1hr hike in, but would miss the sunset anyway. I recalled on the initial drive in to Big Sur that there were some very photogenic cows in a field, so I figured I’d keep driving back north and see what they were up to. Lo and behold the heifers had decided to graze right in front of Point Sur, a retired Naval base with a killer sunset to boot.

There was a nice layer of haze right along the water, and a hummocky field of grass being backlit by the deep sun. I figured this was an ideal situation to pull out a little aperture trick; when you use a small aperture, eg. f/13, the aperture blades cause the direct sun to splinter into those beautiful rays of light, rather than becoming a big ball of white.

Archival paper prints on Hahnemühle Photorag paper.

Metal prints comes with 3/4” French cleat mount.

Canvas prints come with a sawtooth hanger.

If you would like a framed paper print, mat, or different hanging option, contact at kyle@murphsmedia.net to review options and customize an order.
