Sunrise - Shark Fin Cove
Details
OBJECTIVE:
Shark Fin Cove is spot on coast that anyone knows about, is bound to fall in love with! We will try to capture it at sunrise from different POVs, including possible trip to beach and cave below.
One reason to pick this spot is that it gives POVs from 180 degrees. So depending in which direction colors mature, we can aim for that POV and in any direction this spot affords us opportunity to create something magical!
We tried it once before an missed but hopefully no fog this time.
TICKET RISK:
Well, chances are very low, but if some hyperactive ranger wakes up pre-dawn they can hose us real good. Ticket could be $110.0. So make your own call!
Conditions are supposed to be ideal this coming Saturday morning, so I am going!
One way to avoid that risk is to Park at Davenport and walk up the train tracks. It takes about 20-25 minute flat walk and you would get there. However, obviously you have to wake up earlier for that.
MEETING LOCATION:
Address I have provided is WRONG. It is for Davenport Bar and grill. It would get you in the vicinity. Please follow directions below.
Coming from Half-Moon Bay - Shark Fin Cove parking area is about 0.6 miles further south of Davenport. Once you climb the little hill, it would be first parking area to your right. If you see Boony-Doon road, then you went too far and turn back.
Coming from Santa Cruz - Once you see sign for Boony Doon road, go further north for 0.4 miles and you will see parking area on your left. If you see town of Davenport, turn back, and follow directions above.
My cell is 408-318-1623. Area has good coverage. Call me if you need to.

CAMERA GEAR:
• Widest lens you have
• Tripod
• Shutter release cable
• Gradual Density Filter (Not required - This can be done in post processing as well but having this filter helps you retain the details in the highlights in the sky or bright areas, and collect more light in the foreground, which is usually light deprived. One of essential filters for landscape photography)
NON CAMERA GEAR:
• Proper hiking shoes
• Layers • Headlamp or torch
