Exploring the Mission near Big Sur

“Everybody is talented because everybody who is human has something to express.” – Brenda Ueland

Just before diving into my journey of the coast of California known as “Big Sur”, I decided to stop off at this cool little Mission just outside of Carmel to explore the interior. These kinds of churches are always a good subject for capturing brackets of frames for HDR creations and this place was just what I was looking for. Its been a while since I cooked one up like this, but I think this one was a perfect example of when it is OK to crank up the grunge a bit.

BTW, I’m sure I haven’t mentioned this in a while, but thanks! It gives me great pleasure to share my work, my rambles, and my own expression of the world I see here on the blog, flickr, facebook, twitter, google plus, and where ever else these images make it out there. Its always nice to here from you all and read the comments, see the likes, feel the love, etc 🙂 Thanks for the continued support!

As always, more to come!

    Exploring the Mission near Big SurHi, i am an Art Director for `Howards and Caz`s Gallery` and would be very honoured if you would consider posting your stunning photo into the Gallery.
    This Gallery is so different than anything flickr has done before, as it is a tough Gallery to belong to, and now the bar has raised to Platinum level, and only the best will be accepted, and it is my opinion that this wonderful piece here belongs with us ……. I hope you will consider posting your beautiful photo in, as i feel it has the standard required to be a part of this Gallery……Kind regards..Caz (AD)
