Farmer at Esalen in Big Sur

Capturing what I like to call “God Rays” requires a bit of luck. Imagine a going to a concert where you see those cool lights streaming on stage - how that works is by combining light with a smoke machine. “God Rays” are the same - it’s fog combined with strong light low in the sky. The best time of day to try to capture this is very early in the morning before the fog has burned off and the sun is trying to break through. What’s also important here is to make sure you don’t blow out the highlights and lose that information. When in doubt, bracket your shots. This was shot on film which tends to have a more forgiving latitude than digital.

I don’t remember my settings but it was shot on my trusty Pentax 67II

The idea behind lens compression is utilizing a telephoto lens

Snaefellness peninsula and a stay at Hotel Budir is the perfect long weekend in Iceland or the perfect add on to a weeklong tour of the southern coast.  Link in bio for the guide.
I have finally made my perfect week in Iceland guide! I first visited Iceland in 2016 and then returned last year and am ready to go back again. It's a magical place full of hot springs, waterfalls, rainbows, horses, glaciers, and painted hills. Many
