Finally after almost 3 weeks in California we had our 15 minutes of rain.<\/p>\n

Only to find out that even poor weather looks great here. Another thing I found out is how important a long lens is for my landscape photography. All but one image are taken with the Tamron 70-300 VC. I very nice, small and cheap lens. The 6D\/70-300VC combo is surprisingly small and light but very powerful. If your main subject is landscape photography I see little to no advantage in using a heavy 2.8\/70-200 lens. Portrait and wildlife photography is a different story of course.<\/p>\n

After the beach we went back to our hotel in Salinas. The light was very dramatic and I stopped a couple of times to take some shots. At the end I was glad that we didn’t manage to get a hotel room in Monterey.<\/p>\n
