During the first part of January, we had some of the most beautiful weather and low tides at sunset.

What could be a better time to work on capturing the colors and reflections of our beautiful coast?

As a dog portrait photographer, I use my own guy [the photographer's dog, Gromit] for a lot of the ideas I have.

It just so happened that his colors pretty much matched those of the blufftops just south of Surfer's Beach in Half Moon Bay — which is why I titled the photo "Made from the Same Color Palette."
