After the morning photography, we headed back to the hotel and download the photos. We had to choose five photos to submit for critiques and one photo to be printed on a Canon imagePROGRAF iPF5100 large format printer. The images that everybody had printed were beautiful. Even though we were all in the same areas, everybody had different photos. As the day progressed, we learned about hyperfocal distance and using reflectors. In the evening we drove out to Mt. Tamalpris and took photos of the area. From our location on Mt. Tamalpris, we could see the marina at Sausalito and the city of San Francisco over the Marin hills. Afterwards we, drove a little further to Bollus Point on Mt. Tamalpris to take sunset photos. After the sun set, we all headed back home to conclude our extremely long day and great workshop.
After shooting photos early morning at Muir Beach, we headed north on Highway 1 and stopped off along the highway to an area with eucalyptus trees growing everywhere. The eucalyptus forest was partially covered by a mysterious and beautiful fog. We got to shoot wonderful and amazing photos around the trees and in the rain.
I had participated in Canon’s Live Learning Landscape Photography workshop taught by Jennifer Wu. It was a great workshop even though I had to wake up at 3:30AM. We had to meet in Larkspur, California to start at 5:00 AM in the morning. After some introductions and we had a chance to borrow some Canon gear, we left the hotel at 5:30 AM for Muir Beach. We got to shoot photos of the beautiful beach with amazing fog during sunrise. I made the mistake of trying to pack light, as I flew from Tucson, Arizona. I left my tripod behind and only took my monopod. The problem I had was with the early hours and little available light, we needed slower shutter speeds which did not work well with a monopod. A lot of my photos came out soft to blurry from motion. Thus I’ve learn one of my most important lessons in shooting sunrise photography, bring a tripod! I just need a opportunity to return to this beautiful location to try to shoot more photos.
