Bixby Bridge 3, photo by Harold Davis. View this image larger.

Here’s the Big Sur coast of California and Bixby Bridge by moon and starlight. The faint colors of sunset linger, even though this is a thirty second, wide-open exposure. If you look closely, you can see the shadow of cliffs in the water cast by moonlight.

Shown earlier in the fog and clouds: Bixby Bridge 1 and Bixby Bridge 2. Background information: Steep Slope.

Exposure data: Nikon D300, 12-24mm lens at 12mm, 30 seconds at f/5.o and ISO 100, tripod mounted.
