This is from a few days ago, I am looking to livestream to my YouTube channel in some of my favorite photography locations.
So I went to Little Corona in Corona Del Mar, California. Reception in this area is always bad, I think in part because it's tucked in beneath cliffs. So I took my Starlink in the backpack I configured for carrying it and away I went. The tide was high, higher then I prefer but sometimes you just have to go, when you can go.
I ended up setting up a few hundred yards south of where the trail drops you off. Not a soul in sight. Partly because the beach was disappearing from the high tide, partly because of the heat wave where it was 109 degrees just 5 miles away, here it was still 93 degrees. And hiking South just a bit got me around a curve in the cliffs and out of sight of everyone.
The far rock you see in the water is the Arch that's there, though it's almost submerged, and we are seeing it from the side at this angle. The bigger water splashes were hitting me and the camera, though I only had to wipe the water off of the lens one time. I had planned to get wet, so I was wearing my water shoes, neoprene socks and my quick dry hiking pants. And walking back after sunset I did have to wade through knee high water as the advancing tide was cutting off easy access pretty quickly.
I used the Nikon 14-30mm f4 lens. It's a great lens with a little bit of a different design. But it's lightweight, and I like the extra reach from the normal 14-24mm to this 14-30mm.
All comments are welcome,
Jim
