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.
Anyway, here’s a few of my favorite images from the evening. They were all made using a Canon 5D Mark IV and a 16-35mm lens. I used Adobe Lightroom and either Nik Color Efex Pro or OnOne Photo Raw to edit them.

Aperture is one of the vital components used to construct creative and compelling photographs. Often times, specific apertures can be used for certain situations or subjects. Aperture is defined as the space in the lens that allows light to enter the camera and hit the sensor. In order to alter the aperture you typically turn a dial or press a button on the camera body.
