My timing here wasn't grand. The light and clouds were perfect, but were also at exactly high tide so I didn't have a lot of interesting foreground elements to work with, as they were under water. I also was a little more precarious that I normally like to get around water. I bracket 3 shots one stop apart, but I honestly see very little difference between them. This is the middle shot.
My wife and I visited China Camp on our recent bay area vacation. If I lived close this would be my go to spot anytime the weather/light called for a photograph. Nice shot.
