A magical place.

No great photographer is more associated with Point Lobos, just south of Carmel off Highway One in California than Edward Weston, and while it’s difficult to take a really lousy picture there, no self respecting practitioner can visit this magical place unaware of Weston’s spirit, which haunts it still.

Here are a few snaps taken the other day on my most recent, and certainly not my last, visit there. Taken on the Panasonic G1 with all but one using the superb 14-45mm kit lens, at 160 or 320 ISO:

Split stones. Lens @ 34mm.

Striae. Lens @ 34mm.

Kelp. Lens at 34mm.

Rock face. Lens @ 38mm.

China Beach. Lens @ 33mm.

Skull and kelp. Lens @ 16mm.

China Beach cove. 45-200mm @ 147mm, monopod.
