p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · McWay Falls and 17 Mile Drive


A few weeks ago I went on a business trip to the Silicon Valley. Between the last business meeting and my return flight to Germany I had 24 hours to spend near SF. I decided to go to Big Sur and shoot the McWay Falls at sunset. On the next morning I did some shooting at the 17 Mile Drive before I had to go back to the SF airport.

Since it was a business trip I just took my Ricoh GR and a small tripod, which is in my opinion a perfect combination for the occasional landscape shooting on either business trips or family weekends.

Hey Boris,

The first 3 are really nice here, with #2 being my favorite. It's great to see you were able to mix some photography in with your business travel. Back in my corporate days I always added a couple days onto my business travels so that I could go explore and shoot near to where I had my business. It was an easy way to mix business with pleasure.

These are all so very well done! I guess #1 is my favorite as that location is often shot but rarely are the results this amazing (for sure including my own). Waiting to shoot in the right light of course usually pays dividends and IMO you struck it rich with that shot. The composition and shutter speed were perfectly chosen.
Great set!!!!
