Ah yes, I would be thinking of Morro Bay and Morro Rock.
The right side of your image is heavier than the left. :)
I use to live in Cambria, right up the road from Morro Bay. Thanks for the picture, reminds me of better days.

Possibly the result of a luncheon beer.
My wife and I have been going to Cambria for 25 years at least two or three times a year. Beautiful place and great dining.

There are some pretty cool compositions you can get from shooting from inside the felled trees up at the other trees through holes or out the end at scenes or friends. Fun place to experiment and have a good time.

I'm going to grand canyon any suggestion for a good landscape lens for my Nikon D5000 I have a 18-55, 55-200, 70-300, or which one of these would be good , thanks

I'd say take all of them. Depends on how close you get. If you take some of the tours that get you close, the 18-55 would be used probably. If you just skirt the tourist areas and stay behind the barriers the 55-200 would probably get the workout. Based on my shooting style, the 70-300 would be my least used lens but someone said that MT shooter just posted some Grand Canyon shots taken with a long Sigma lens so it depends on the individual. Bring a tripod and a remote shutter release.

Shooting redwoods, Sequoias is very difficult because of the the extreme contrast from deep shadow and bright sunlight.
Hope for fog or overcast. I think for most situation HDR would be mandatory. Just speaking from past experience. No good shots of them in my portfolio.
You might consider very early morning or tripod shots just after sun dips behind the hills.

Was driving home from Arcata via 101 two days ago. Had been overcast for two days. I decided to take the Ave of the Giants alternate route. Get 100 yards and the sun breaks out full blast.
Damn.

CA can be confusing - Sequoias or Redwoods, inland or coastal, two Moro Rocks.
This time of year is "Tough" for CA coastal fog.
It is MHO that one really needs to be prepared for low lights and shadows when in the Redwoods & Sequoias.
Heck I live in the Pines & Ceders and I have a tough time with them.

I'll be in the coastal fog in Cambria tomorrow. Looking forward to it. Photography isn't everything (:^)
