MANY, MANY THANKS to all of you who made such gracious comments on my photographs over the last few days. We returned late Thursday. I will go to work on responding to your comments. From Monday - Thursday, we were at the Coast photographing (harbors, old working boats, sand dunes, sea stacks, lighthouses, botanical gardens, waterfalls, etc., etc.) from dawn til dark. Much fun, but I'm exhausted.

Nikon D700 1/500 second F/8.0 ISO 400 70 mm (35mm equiv.)

Great shot... I love the central focus of the leaves and moss with the rest of the moss and leaves in the background... The sun just makes those leaves so highlighted...

Today's shot is beautiful, but boy, am I looking forward to "harbors, old working boats, sand dunes, sea stacks, lighthouses, botanical gardens, waterfalls".... What a great collection of things to shoot!!!!

@Susan: Forgot to mention bridges and sea lions. I shot almost 1600 photographs (bracketed shots for HDR take up 5 frames at a whack).

Gary Hart from California, United States

Isn't backlight on leaves great? Sometimes it's the only thing that makes full sunlight photography tolerable. :)

That light, absolutely magnificent. It sounds like you had and incredible time at the coast. I'm sure you documented the beauty.

16 Aug 2009 4:41am

@Barbara: Thanks, Barb. The editing job has been monumental. Not only did I end up with way more photographs than I will ever use, but even way more pretty good photographs than I will ever use. You can go to this website to get a taste (not all of the photos are mine, but most are right now), http://photoartsguild.org/web/tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=63
