Beautiful picture! This place is on my bucket list to visit.

Thanks! Plan a full day for it

Big Sur is so beautiful. Great photo.

Big "Sir". It's a stupid joke from Modern Family.

I've been here, it looks nothing like this in person

Post editing with slightly enhanced colors but it is pretty damn close

Lol great show. I was thinking, I know it’s the internet and this person doesn’t know me but I’m a dude that’s 6’5 and almost 50! Have a great day my guy.

I didn't mean it in a bad way. Meant that the picture doesn't do it justice. It is breathtaking in person
Equal-Bad-8489 OP t1_j5kpa8s wrote
Lol. Ah. I wasn’t offended, art is subjective right? It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been

Where is this? CA = Canada?
Equal-Bad-8489 OP t1_j5krsb2 wrote
In Canada, yes. In this instance it’s California

I See. I would have been incredibly helpful to see the country in the title of the post btw.

Everything I've seen of Big Sur is incredible.
But is it true that most of it is not accessible by mere mortals?
Equal-Bad-8489 OP t1_j5kvljj wrote
That is correct

Better yet, plan a weekend!

I didn't realize this sub doesn't allow buildings, otherwise I would have appended some pics I took of Bixby Bridge to this, gorgeous area, cheers.

it’s on the list!
Equal-Bad-8489 OP t1_j5kzqs8 wrote
Yeah. No man made objects
jgjl t1_j5l8fro wrote
Oh yeah, downvote me for asking where the place is! Give it to me! I clearly should know all the funny abbreviations people use around here, especially when they forget to add the county 🤷🏻♂️

As a dude who posts a lot about California stuff I would expect you to be familiar with Big Sur….

It’s still pretty rude to keep using random shortcuts and expect the whole world to know what you are talking about. Why is it so difficult to be a nice person and add the country at least? Why do you have to be jerks about it?

Is the water really that clear down there?????? I've been looking for clear blue water like that all around CA and its in fucking Big Sur?
ElSteve0Grande t1_j5m9oye wrote
Maybe you’re not from the US originally, but CA is the formal abbreviation for California. Just as NY is short for New York and CO for Colorado. They are not random at all. Using the formal abbreviation is not being a jerk in my opinion

Closed a big section of it recently due to a land slide
Equal-Bad-8489 OP t1_j5mddu3 wrote
Yes. It’s very clear. I did slightly enhance the colors here but not by much
jgjl t1_j5me86o wrote
Exactly, this is the Internet, not your local pub. What’s wrong with adding the country (USA) and the state written out? Look at what folks from other countries post: they always add the county and spell out the location. Why on earth is this very very very basic decency too much to ask?

It looks weird being photographed facing north to me. You always seem to see pictures facing south to include McWay Falls.
Equal-Bad-8489 OP t1_j5mehd6 wrote
Lol yep. I posted a photo of the falls a week or so ago but I had to shoot north, too beautiful not to

Where's is that?
The_Nod_Father t1_j5minnm wrote
Thank you for being honest. I'm looking for Virgin Gorda waters
Equal-Bad-8489 OP t1_j5mixxr wrote
Big Sur, California
wolf_soul81 t1_j5mj0m5 wrote
I thought CA was for Canada.
Equal-Bad-8489 OP t1_j5ml24x wrote
In the states it’s for California. Apologies for not clarifying

OP, just curious, what focal length was this shot at? Seems pretty long to me but I’m also kind of a newbie.
Equal-Bad-8489 OP t1_j5mv1lm wrote
70mm. f10, 1/200, ISO 100 were the camera settings. Shot on Sony a7ii

No, the photo is highly edited. The water isn’t anything that color.

Sorry for asking, but unless the shot had been flipped, wouldn't that have to be facing north? (basic geography?)
mr_ji t1_j5ngc98 wrote
You could stand at what is at the top of this picture, turn around, and shoot that direction. A lot of people take Highway 1 south and get out to photograph McWay Falls (which OP said they did in a different reply), which isn't visible from the coast if you're facing north, only south.

Did they film "old" here. Sure looks like it.

If anyone reads this: please go to Lucia's restaurant right on oceanfront. You won't get a better view with your meal anywhere else on the 1. I used to drive there from Monterey on the weekends just for a relaxing lunch and to get away for a bit.
[If you visit Monty and go through a tunnel, worry not, the drivers aren't honking at you. It's just something we do.]

Unpopular opinion: Big Sur is overrated for the most part. You can't access most of the beaches like this and where you can hike the views aren't great (with some exceptions, e.g. Point Lobos). It's a nice drive... if I wanted to spend my vacation in a metal box. It's also a horrible bike ride – no shoulder and a lot of traffic.
