Hey Asher,
I edited the first one, so the link changed. I attempted to edit the original post, but here's the re-edit of the first one:
The first two were from a 'last minute' run to Laguna, after seeing there might be some good cloud detail in the sky. The sunset was a total surprise, as it's been pretty gloomy down there. The B&W has a bit of a story behind it. Shortly after this frame, I slid off the rock I was perched on and scraped the heck out of my ankle! So I actually grounded myself this weekend, knowing that if I traveled/hiked, it would aggravate the wound
The last image is kind of interesting, as I shot it after an extremely difficult day of work. The blown out portion of the sky was intentional as I liked the transition between the fire of a bad day to the peace of a clear blue night sky. The smooth water, resulting from a long exposure, helped to portray my mood at the time.
Thanks for looking!
