Acid Rocks

[Michael13]

These are from a visit to Point Lobos State Natural Reserve five years ago. I went there thinking I would shoot the grand seascapes this place is known for - waves crashing around the sea stacks and rocky peninsulas jutting out into the sea. However, as soon as I found my way down to Weston Beach, I became hypnotized by these wild and crazy colors and patterns in the rocks by the shore. I have seen Weston's and Adam's photos of these rocks, but they were screaming to be photographed in color! All these images made on Nikon D800e with Zeiss 50mm Makro. The images titles I'm using below are not the official names.

Well seen - these are some wild patterns in the rocks that make great abstracts in the compositions you came up with.

Thanks Alan. Always good to have a macro lens in your bag for unexpected opportunities like this!

Those are some pretty attractive colors and patterns. Nicely seen and captured.

Much more interesting than waves crashing on rocks -- nice job!

Great titles to go with great images Michael. It's fun to be open to something different then we had visualized or anticipated. Such cool colors and shapes.

Thanks Monika! I still want to make those waves and rocks photos- now I have an excuse to go back.
