Davenport Crack

[Josh Dye]

Hey all,

Last week I got off work early enough to have a chance at shooting the sunset so I decided to take full advantage. I checked the forecasts and saw that the clouds on the coast were shaping up to be quite promising for a decent sunset and I figured I would try my luck at this shot which I have had in mind for a few years now. This photo is only really possible when the tides are around 3ft high because anything more and you may have too large of waves. With the recent rains here in California, this crack had a nice stream flowing into the ocean which caused a cool collision between the incoming waves and the flowing water.

Pretty happy with how it turned out!

0.8" single exposure. 3 Stop reverse ND and polarizer.

Wow this fantastic. The stream the clouds the sunset all come together to make an outstanding image

Nicely composed and a beautiful sunset. I like this little water flow.

The water flow is a nice lead in to the sunset. Lovely image

Thank you Ben! Always nice when conditions all work out!

Thanks Alan! It’s a great spot to capture a small river of ocean flowing in.

Thanks Jameel. Always on the lookout for those leading lines.

Hey Josh, that's such a cool looking spot. Not sure I have seen it before. I need to stop by there sometime. It looks like a spring time shot because it needs rain for the creek?

And it's great to see someone still using reverse grads. I had stopped using mine, but there was a time that I wouldn't shoot at the beach without them.

Wow, what a beautiful shot, Josh.

I was thinking of heading down the Davenport last week but high way 17 was washed out , so was the traffic on 85, it was just really bad.

Love your long exposure.

This is the spot I have been to many times, if I were you, I woud bracket the shots in stead of rGND, anyway.

Definitely a cool spot. It doesn’t require the creek to actually be flowing in order to get this shot as long as you have a high enough tide to flow up the creek. And yeah, don’t shoot anywhere without my reverse grads! They’re awesome for so many shots.

Hey thanks Oliver! 17 has been a mess because of all this rain. Landslides every other week! I’ve tried bracketing in the past and I’m simply Not great at it and getting it right in camera is much more fun for me. Though, it’s probably better to bracket in many situations.
