Black and white California

Black and white California, Image from San Francisco 

Black and white California
California for me holds a strong sense of inspiration and belonging every time I have visited there. It could be the light or it could be people but I always have been very inspired by the place. From the street markets of Venice beach, L.A. to the stunning vistas in Yosemite National Park North California, all of it is just truly amazing.

Even though the colours of the sunsets and sunrises are stunning in California I always prefer shooting Black and White images of California. My black and white California images always have stunning whites and rich grey tones through-out, California has to be one of my most favourite places to be shooting images...

China beach pictures

China beach pictures, on Highway 50 California

China beach pictures
On my last trip to San Francisco we travelled down from Lake Tahoe to head to our first stop China Beach to try to get a sunset shot. We were totally amazed by the sites we saw traveling down Highway 50. This picture of an old Californian truck took my attention so much so by the time we arrived at China beach we had missed the sunset, but seeing China Beach and hearing the waves crash against the rocks and seeing the Golden Gate Bridge glow in the background was all worth it. Moments like this make me feel so lucky to be blessed to be able to travel like this...

Golden Gate Bridge Black and White

Golden Gate Bridge Black and White, San Francisco, from China Beach

Golden Gate Bridge Black and White
The celebration weekend is here, I want to wish the Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco a very happy 75th Birthday. To celebrate I wanted to share one of my favourite images of the Golden gate Bridge, obviously for me it has to be Black and white. This image shows the dramatic weather that can occur on China Beach in San Francisco, big waves, stormy skies and almost unreal feel to the Golden Gate Bridge in Black and White, featured in the background.

Golden Gate Bridge Ansel Adams
Ansel Adams as many of you who read my blog will know has been a great inspiration to my work and one of the reasons for my fascination with California and San Francisco. His image taken in 1953 of the golden Gate bridge from Baker Beach which is just around the corner from my favourite beach “China Beach” is a stunning photograph.

The weather on this occasion looks like a much calmer day than when I visited the similar spot.

China Beach Pictures

I have many China Beach pictures from my visits to San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge. But often its the old californian cars that catch my attention, this Karmann Ghia was one of these occasions. A beautiful image not far from China beach, that I found on one of many walks of this fantastic Californian City...

The weather was perfect glorious sunshine and a deep blue sky, the type of deep colour that always migrates well into black and white.
