Inspiring Photo: Monterey Coast #4028901

Monterey Coast

Uploaded: June 15, 2007 10:41:02

Description

Infrared shot along the Monterey Peninsula, California. I much prefer rugged coastlines as compared to the beaches of Florida--for photography that is!

F11, 1/160 sec, ISO 200, 35mm focal length, Digital Rebel converted to IR.
