Purissima Creek....
More from the archives. I've shot a ton of stuff here but never feel like I've really got the feel of the place. Guess I'll keep shooting...

Pilar Point Harbor 01
The harbor in Half Moon Bay. Sunset on a beautiful evening.
Sunset
Shot this from my bedroom window. No color enhancements added, it really looked like this.
Pigeon Point Lighthouse at Night
Once a year they light the old light which features a "fresnel" lens. It can be a very beautiful sight depending on the weather conditions. It was cold and a bit breezy otherwise a wonderful night. I couldn't stay long so I grabbed about 2 dozen shots very fast. Shot at 1600 ISO this shot has a lot of digital "noise". (Low light shooting is not one of Nikon's better features) But the interesting thing is that I saw a plane flying over at that moment and noticed it's path would be right over the Lighthouse. So I open up the shutter and caught this. The streaks of light were the running lights and the dots are the strobes firing as it flew over. Not the best shot, but cool nevertheless.
Sailing at Sunset
The ship was sailing down the coast of California. I never did get the whole story on it, but it stopped at Pilar Point Harbor. We had a beautiful sunset that night.
