[One of my favorite go-to locationas at Point Lobos. Always exhilarating to capture the Pacific Ocean in one of it’s more epic “thrashing about” moods!] Slightly overcast created soft shadows. I could not have ask for more. ### Feedback Requests It took a lot of tweaking to not get blown-out highlights. Do you think I succeded? ### Pertinent Technical Details 50 mm, 1/1600 sec at f/11, ISO 500 ---

Franz, you’ve got a full range of brightness here without blown hightlights…the benefits of soft overcast. Your fast shutter shows off the action in the surf well.
