Location
This is a photo of the famous sun portal in Big Sur CaTime
This picture was taken at sunset. This portal only works at sunset when the sun is as far south as it can go.Lighting
Don't over expose the bright parts but have enough light so you can see the dark areas.Equipment
Sony A99 with a 24-70mm lens. No tripod, no flash, no etc.Inspiration
This is a beautiful place I've been two a number of times.Editing
Post processing was making sure the bright parts were not over exposed and that the dim parts had enough light.In my camera bag
There is a hike in and I'm older so I just took the camera and spare batteries, etc.Feedback
This is a famous spot with people coming from around the world. So study up ahead of time and be prepared. Hint-there are lots of other things to photograph at this wonderful beach!
