Laguna Beach

This has been an image a long time in the making. We don't get clouds all that often here in sunny Southern California, at least not as often as I would like. And I need clouds to make this image work.

This is an image of persistence. I've been going back to this site for a number of years and this is the first image I have that has really worked for me. It's taken with a Chamonix 45N-1 and a 110mm lens with FP4+ just in case anyone wants to know. I plan to have this one drum scanned and make a large print. Can't wait.

Great tones and composition Larry. Was this taken in Laguna?

I've always admired your work and am excited that you've set up this site to share your photographs with a wider audience. I look forward to reviewing your previous posts and seeing what you add in the future.

Best,
Jim

Thanks for stopping by Jim. Yep, taken in Laguna Beach just north of downtown a bit. I go there a lot but it's taken forever to get what I wanted. Thanks again for having a look and for taking the time to post a comment.

Awesome shot, Larry!
It really pulled me in... wanting more... I'd like to see this blown up larger to check out the details in rocks and the contrast between the clouds and rocks...

Thanks for sharing and congrats on capturing this amazing shot.

Best,
Tim

Hi Tim,

I may make this into a large print. Not sure about it quite yet and am kinda of living with it in a smaller print now.
