Lakeside, Oregon & California Coast

At the end of August, my sister and I took a road trip to spend a week in Lakeside, Oregon with a family friend. We decided to drive home along the PCH, camping along the Navarro River in Northern California for one night and camping south of Big Sur, California for the next. I absolutely loved the scenery along the way as we traversed down the Pacific Coast.

I absolutely loved the scenery along the way, as we traversed down the Pacific Coast.

I quickly started editing the photos and finally finished compiling some of my favorites. The images were all created with a Canon 5D Mark IV and were predominantly edited with Adobe Lightroom.

The pictures are presented chronologically, which I rarely do, but it felt right for this group of images. I hope they provide you with even a small taste of the experience of exploring the Pacific Coast.

Montaña de Oro State Park, Los Osos, California

I photographed a sunset a few weeks ago at Montaña de Oro State Park along California’s central coast. It was my last sunset before I headed home from college for the summer. It ended up being a real pretty sunset to finish off the year.

San Simeon, California

Last Sunday I drove up to San Simeon, California for sunset and stopped at a pullout along the PCH a little south of Hearst Castle. I was excited to get a colorful sunset since the last four or five times I’d gone out to photograph had been incredibly overcast.
