Hi, I'm Marilyn. Â I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile. Â It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here. Â I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends. Â Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time. Â Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!! Â Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet. Â You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long. Â Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

I know what you mean about not b/w. I have taken some shots in foggy, stormy weather and I'm amazed at how stark those shots are. This is such a perfect shot of a moody day on a chilly, winter's beach.

your commenters all got it. It's beautiful and sweeping and yet intimate. And I fully understand that this isn't a b&w shot: Sometimes life truly looks this way; the light physically mutes all colors and leaves the earth a quiet bluish b&w. The middle "band" of your shot is a beautiful band of fog & low laying clouds, it gives a misty blanket to the whole. And the foreground of pathways across the sand is beautiful. They're backed by those mist-buried peaks, and of course the big rolling ocean---so dramatic and consuming compared to my lake. And your crop is perfect: A true call for a wide shot. It's beautiful Marilyn, and another example of your love for your beautiful ocean. I think Andrea's comment---what we often think of as "California" (ie, hot & sunny)---shows how most of us have no idea how vast California really is; it's like a continent; and that the area you live in is almost primal and pre-time in its raw powers, so very removed from the milieu of the southern portions...A beautiful capture filled with the reverence and yet utter familiarity you have for your home.
