I had scheduled a photo trip yesterday to Point Reyes. The forecast called for rain in the afternoon so I headed out towards the coast early in the morning, and, of course, ran into rain—heavy rain—as soon as I reached Taylor State Park.
But that was OK! Number One: I was still able to get coffee and a morning bun at Bovine Bakery in Pt. Reyes Station. And Number Two: I went ahead and used my old umbrella technique and took photos anyway. The wind was picking up when I reached the Limantour Beach parking lot; as I hiked towards the beach the rain slanted down on funereal, mid-winter grasses and shrubs, Limantour Estero in the distance. At least I had enough presence of mind to attempt to take some vertical merge shots (as seen above.)
Interesting: my pix total was 72—exactly what two 36-exposure rolls of film would have been.
