Los Angeles to Santa Cruz
I just did a small road trip up to San Francisco with some friends from RVCA to shoot some of Al Knosts new line with rvca, as well as shoot some winter wear. The crew was Al, Tanner, Ellis who is in town from Australia, Ford, Jack Coleman, Matty and brought along Travis for the ride too. Been shooting a bunch of “scenic/landscapes” lately, not really sure why. When I was younger I looked past landscape photography. I never really appreciated work by photographers like Ansel Adams until lately. Not really sure why, but I have been running with it a little bit. The 101 north has some beautiful and photogenic landscapes and is especially conducive to the feeling of a continual interest of mine, exploring open space. Not a whole lot going on between Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz on the 101.
Anyways, click for more. Going to separate this post into a few different segments because there are a ton of images. Check back for more in a couple days. Going to attempt to get back onto this blog every couple of days since I have been shooting a ton, and I should be putting stuff up on here daily at the least. CLICK FOR
We stopped by Rincon at night on the way up. It was super low tide and the waves were small, but the water had a really bright phosphorescence. You can see it in the white water of the waves where it looks neon blue. Pretty rad. And the stars reflecting in the wet sand. Super high ISO and a fast lens and a steady hand.
Mid trip quiver check.
This was our first glance at surf. Jalama Beach.
Jalama had a few waves the next morning and we decided to take a stop and get wet. Fun dumpy peaks.
We post session grinded some of the world famous Jalama Burgers. I think trav ended up going for the breakfast Jalama burger.
Back on the road, we were making a B-Line to Santa Cruz to make it there before dark to get an evening session in.
Stopped at this beautiful, Año Nuevo which is the site of the largest mainland breeding colony of the northern elephant seal. kinda sketchy seeing that Great White’s like to snack on seals…. Waves were lackluster, but it was photogenic to say the least.
Right before Ellis paddled out the skies parted for a second and the light got beautiful.
Check back for the rest of the series in a couple days.
I like these.
god. i love the way you see california.

Keegan. Magic. Really.
Such beautiful pix…I want to be there!
Instead, I’m in Reno where the city is essentially on fire and winds are gusting to 80 MPH. Ugh…
😦
How was the surf?!
WoW! really beautiful
Worthy. Great stuff!
Great photos and I love road tripping through CA. You guys would love the HWY1 adventures up the Northern CA coast. I’m sure there are tons of great places to surf as well! Loved these photos.
gorgeous shots! makes me miss Santa Cruz and the ocean.
I practically raised my children on Hiway 1 between Pacifica and Santa Cruz. I moved to Sacramento almost 10 years ago now. I miss the coast. I need to visit. Thank you for reminding me how beautiful it is.
beautiful pictures. nice to catch a glimpse of my home state through your eye.
Great photos. Thanks for sharing. Connie

Some are great, some are rubbish. Wish you had edited out the poor ones
Beautiful landscape shots!
I agree with Phil W
These photos are really great and amazing
love your post
(:
I would love to hang some of these on my wall.
Wonderful series of photos but ye gods and little fishes, the surfing shots look as tho it’s really cold. Adore the 2 night shots and the tanker shot in particular and what was that shot of what looks like a hoarding of woman and flowers in th middle of what looks like nowhere? Thanks for sharing these images
rvca!!!
Thank you for the smile! All my love and smiles Amy Highmoor
I miss home. Being a native Californian living in France, I’ll never forget how much I love my West coast. Thanks for the great photos!
How beautiful! I loved the nighttime shots with the subtle lighting. The colors are rich and wonderful.
Ronnie
3rd pic is superb!
I;ve driven along that route many times. Your excellent photos make it fresh again.
I haven’t been to the California coast since I was 14. Wow. Gotta go back!
Fantastic shots!!! I recently left So Cal to move to Argentina, and though it’s great here I do miss home a bit… Thank you for spreading the beauty around.
Awesome photos. I really miss SoCal and want to move back ASAP. I can’t believe the shot of the stars – when was the last time I saw stars? Even I cannot answer that question. Thanks for the great shots!
This photos of Cali are so nice. I want to go there. Which do you recommend better, LA or Santa cruz?

Thanks for the trip.
The night shots are amazing! Beautiful post!
Great Photos!! Loved the Rincon one. You were in my neighborhood and your photos caught the magic we enjoy…Thanks so much for sharing.
amazing pics!
i surf and i have never done it next to a cliff! crazy, but cool! great pics!
I must disagree. Big Sur, Carmel, Monterey are definitely worth shooting.
what a beautiful bunch of pictures..:-D..just perfect.. 🙂
The photographs are breath-taking! Keep up the good work. I’ll visit as often as I can to draw inspirations from your photos and do my eyes some good.
Amazing shots
Well done .. and congrats on Freshly Pressed. Great pics … my fav? Gotta be the beach with the stars and the foggy mountains.
awesome!
amazing photos – thanks! Love the one with the circle around the setting sun
These shots make for a nice mental getaway!
Except for the shotgun pics….

Dude these are insane love this pictures!
Serendipity! I was just flicking through a travel guide and talking to my husband about doing a Californian road trip. (We’re from the UK). If I needed it, your stunning pics are all the persuasive amunition I need. 🙂
Keep snapping!
Nic
Congratters on being FP’d with these great photos. I did the Big Sur trip a few months back and these bring it all back so vividly, right down to the amazingly shiny road-tankers.
“I just did a small road trip up to San Francisco with some friends from RVCA” You might want to tell people what RVCA stands for (RVCA means?) that would be nice.
Your photo’s are cool, and I enjoyed them.
Later,
DS
It makes me want to go surfing.
The sky scenes are amazing, but i the b/w pics always to it best for me. Great job.
Dita
Loved the tanker picture. Very nice composition.
Nice work! Love the tones and colours in your photos.
Dude, epic pictures. I am going to do this trip soon, Can’t wait!!! 🙂
Love it!
Photographic storytelling is so effective and love the colours, so vivid and dreamy in some of the photos.
I live in Sydney but alas can’t seem to get into the beach culture. I will make an effort this Summer for sure 😉 I start with a photo shoot in one of the beaches around here next weekend (no bikini, just beach wear). Congrats on Freshly Pressed!
Really nice photos
What a beautiful post! Thanks for sharing your world and taking me with you on your trip 🙂
Thanks a lot! Amazing job! Love those night pics the most
That picture with the board in the air above the surfer is really good. I like it!!
Beautiful photos! I love Jalama beach! But its almost impossible to get a camping spot in the summer!
Such a sick post. I love all of the shots. Especially some of the lo-mo edits. Cheers!
I do love the pix..
wish I was there
😦
looks like a fine journey, and congrats on being fresh pressed!
Beautiful starry night photos!
Magical… 🙂
excellent pictures..thanks for sharing:))
I would click ‘like’ many times over if it was an option. Beautiful photos. Felt like I was right there with you. Loved the one with the reflexion mirrored in the back of the silver truck.
Amazing Photography, That relection of the stars looks so beautiful. 😀
im a 15yr old tech blogger seeking advice: http://thetechnogeeks.wordpress.com
Never have I seen a timeline like this. It makes me feel like I’m there! Is that what you were trying to do with your pictures. Genius!
Your photos are stunning, they made I feel like my heart stop beating in 1s
😀 😀
amazing work
Thanks for sharing your trip. I especially like the pic of the shiny semi trailer with the panoramic reflected view.
Your photos are Amazing!!!
Excellent photo’s!
Thats v.nice. 😉
Love the pictures! Schweet takes! 🙂
I’m taking this journey on Monday. Your photos are getting me so excited to go back home and snap some shots of my familiars. Thank you 🙂
A few very cool shots in there. My favourite is the one of the surfer standing on the beach with sun flaring in the top left hand corner.
Wow. Amazing.
Cool Awersome!
I particularly liked the composition of that black and white of the surfer with a sheet of mountain/rucks behind him.
Great pictures. I used to live in Socal and have taken this trip also. Ana Nuevo is very nice. Wish I had learned to surf though.
This is so awesome! I have been traveling around for the past 9 months, up and down cali, and i totally recognize some of these places.
The phosphorescence shots blew my mind. I am in love. I’m pissed too, b/c they were going on in San Fran, just after we left!
Arrr! So, we missed that. Would have been very cool to see it.
The shot of the surfboard flying up in the air is pretty rad! And, i also like the field shot with the dust in the air..
Very nice!
Great, great, great!!!
Really nice. I did the same trip in January myself. Have some great pics taken at dusk.
old lady billboard on the desert….quite uncanny……and the reflection of the street on the transfer truck…cool….

The place looks just Woderful!! Looks like you have such a great road trip jejeje.
Cheers! 😉
I live in northern CA, and I’ve seen some beautiful stuff up here. It’s a shame I haven’t done much photography… one of these days I want to get up early and go take some pictures. I love photography.
You really make California something in these photos.
Thank you!
Great photos.
totally an awesome view for an inspirational writing, totally skewed still as far as perception..-the blackwidow
The PCH, the beaches, the oceanfront views … they truly are the pride of Califonia.
You tell such a great story through your camera lens. I enjoyed viewing your post very much because you show the REAL Cali, the one that Hollywood tries to glamorize but when they do, it’s an epic fail as my 13 year old boy would put it.
These pictures make me yearn for summer and can’t wait to be back on the beach in Montauk! The pics of the stars reflecting in the sand/water are awesome! What type of camera did you use–I always wanted to get pics like that!
Great photos!
LOOOOOVE THE PICTURES! THEY ARE AWESOME!
this is amazing.
Very sick pictures and words. I thoroughly enjoyed them, reminded me of the time some buds and I did a similar trip.
many of California’s landscapes, as well as the rest of this amazing country, are so fantastic, yet often we take It all for granted. Nice photos 🙂
Great perspective to your shots, I have never seen anything like the pics at Rincon. So cool.
totally awesome photos! will check here often. beautiful!
Aaaahhhhhhhhhh beautiful
Best choice, i like it too much ……<3 Love
Thanks for sharing your journey it took me back to when I did it a few years ago.
Beautiful! I love that stretch along the CA coast – breathtaking every time.
I’m from san diego and i just graduated from uc santa cruz. This drive was something i did about every other month or so- and its beauty never failed to impress me and steal my breath. each time was like the first trip i took, and each time the land changed with the season. love California and all it has to offer, keep the pictures coming
so gorgeous! i’m taking a trip to california in february and now i REALLY can’t wait for the sun to hit my face!
California is so beautiful. Your pics make me home sick. Grats on FP.
You really captured the beauty of our awesome state here. Thanks so much for the post! I’m originally from Santa Cruz, now living in Los Angeles. I love EVERYTHING about what you have here.
thanks for sharing, great photos
ak! there are moments (like this one) where i think ‘wtf am i doing in germany???’ i’m from san diego and used to live in san francisco and that drive… oh, how i miss the 101 in general…
as a side note, it has been about 28 – 38 degrees here the past couple of weeks.
sigh.
Amazing night sky with stars, really enjoyable to see those pics.
THX for your sharing. 🙂
great photos!
Excellent photography.,.

Great shots! I feel like I’m a million miles away – without having moved an inch! Thank you.

Hi admin, i found this post on 11 spot in google’s
search results. I’m sure that your low rankings are caused by high bounce rate.
This is very important ranking factor. One of the
biggest reason for high bounce rate is due to
visitors hitting the back button. The higher your bounce rate
the further down the search results your posts and pages
