Epic - Carmel, California - a photo on Flickriver

Epic - Carmel, California

Portfolio & Services

Nice vis, eh? Taken with D200 and 10.5mm and Mono Lobo Wall in Carmel, CA. Featured in October 25, 2007 SF Chronicle supporting opinion piece by Francesca Koe on the MPAs along California.

Once underwater, I knew this day was special. Easily 80-100' visibility is rare, and it could've been better than 100'. It was epic.

I quickly looked for a foreground subject to balance the very sweet vista I was seeing in the background. I am at about 70' feet here and you can see the kelp forest creating a shadowing from the upper left corner trailing back to under the sun bursting through the kelp.
