Bixby Bridge at Night

Earlier this week I had a wonderful two days exploring and taking photos of one of my absolute favorite spots: the California coastline, from Monterey south into Big Sur. It’s a spectacular coastline, and a wonderful place to spend time.

I took this photo of the often-photographed Bixby Bridge in Big Sur, California. Yes, it’s been done before by many photographers, but getting this image was a treat for me, nonetheless.

It was quite dark at 8:40 pm when I took this two-minute exposure image (which makes focusing a challenge!). I was perched up on one of the boulders that ring a pull-out just north of the bridge.

I didn’t do much post-processing of this image, other than “correcting” the converging lines of the vertical bridge supports, to make them (almost) parallel.

I hope you enjoy it! More California coastline photos to follow…
