Point Lobos State Reserve in Carmel, CA

A beautiful place to take a hike! 

Moon Jelly Eclipse - Bluefish Cove, Point Lobos by Jim Patterson Via Flickr: Portfolio & Services Before we headed down, I took the opportunity to frame this moon jelly against the blazing sun, not the easiest to do when it comes to positioning and camera settings. One wants not to blow out the image with the direct light as well as line up the moving jelly with the sun. Making sure your bubbles don't blow the jelly away is another concern when shooting from below.
