Greg Hales running through the redwoods in Nisene State Park, Aptos, California

I had never heard of this beautiful coastal California State Park until my buddy and Aptos resident brought me there last week.  It is a beautiful area!

Greg is a lifelong friend and former college cross-country teammate of mine who continues to run at a very, very high level making him a perfect subject for these trails.  With wonderful trails like this, it is easy to see why Greg enjoys running so much!

Not to be left out of the action is Greg’s wife Boom.  It worked out well as my everyday model Janine wasn’t too excited to walk out on the log!

    Thanks Dennis!

    Thanks Richard. Great question – I had intended to address that when I wrote this post but forgot. It was a blend of two images. The first at ISO 100, f/16 for 25 seconds, the second was at iso 3200, f/2.8 and 1/160 of a second. I then just blended to runner through to the first image.

  2. Thanks for sharing Ron. I couldn’t imagine how else you could capture a runner that sharp in that type of forest and still have the DOF unless maybe if you had strobes all over the trail.

  3. Looks like a “Rave Run” to me! Great photos and what a fun day! We can’t wait to see you two again. Have fun on the rest of your travels – and remember – If you have any questions about photography, don’t hesitate to give me a call!

    Thanks Greg – I hope it is a Rave Run!

    I’ll remember that on the photo questions. 🙂 Likewise, if you need any help with real estate LOL. Thanks!

  5. Just goes to show, I don’t know as much about the great scenery in the SW as I think I do. I’ve missed this one too. Thanks so much for bringing these sights to us all! Now I’ll have to check it out.
