Big Sur,Garrapata State Park, Cala Lilies
This is Garrapata State Park along the California coastline. I used
fill flash in the foreground to get the foreground flowers to pop and
several attempts to get the light just right.
This is one of the scariest places to photograph is this ravine found
along the Big Sur coastline which is full of poison ivy. I did this
two years ago and came home covered in a rash but I did not get the
shot I was looking for last time ; so I tried again but this time
fully armoured with layers of clothing and bags to wrap up later to
prevent the oils from spreading, but the problem I forgot was to tell
airport authorities and when they opened by bag they opened the bag of
contaminated clothes and spread them everywhere in my bag and no I
must wait and see....
I have joined forces with some amazing landscape photographers from
the Pacific Northwest who are a bunch of great people as well; to see
some images from this new group please visit us at Photo Cascadia

That sky doesn't fit at all in here..depsite your effort and most of all that fantastic scenery you have in front of you. Killer view, just as the exposure and boost of colours on the greens and the flowers.....stunning, but i really think you pushed that sky to much.
