Along the way we came to this really pretty bend in the road. I made her pull over so I could take some photos. It was noon and the lighting was pretty poor, so I took 5 photos and combined them into this HDR.

SmugMug > all-time keyword > nature > Page Mill Road is pretty narrow and curvy and Sammi didn't want to pull over in the middle of the road. We found a small parking lot about 100yards from where I wanted to shoot so she pulled off and waited for me to finish playing.
SmugMug > all-time keyword > nature > When we finally got over the peak of the Santa Cruz Mountains we could see the ocean. I asked Sammi to pull off the road so I could take some photos. The hills/ocean were gorgeous but the pictures came out somewhat flat. I did however, find these neat pole and thought it would make for some good photos

I can't decide which one of these 3 I like best. I like this view of the post best, but it doesn't include as much of the interesting hills

I can't decide which one of these 3 I like best. I like the post in the previous photo better (better angle) but I Like that this one has some of the neat hills in the background.

Non-HDR version.

I like this one the least but I wanted to show a horizontal photo with the hills, ocean, fog, etc.

I had never been up Page Mill Road, into the Santa Cruz Mountains, and over to the coast so my girlfriend thought it would be a great excuse to play with my new camera (Nikon D300s). Along the way we came to this really pretty bend in the road. I made her pull over so I could take some photos.
