I always try to get out to Cabrillo National Monument on the tip of Point Loma on every visit to San Diego. There are birds there, but it is not the birds so much as the view that attracts. You are high above San Diego Bay, looking over the whole city, and deep into Mexico behind. Awesome.

This is a two shot panorama…an accidental panorama as I took the two shots with no thought of combining them. Yet it works.

Canon SX50HS. Program with iContrast and Auto Shadow Fill. -1EV exposure compensation (not needed for this shot). 2 50mm equivalent shots stitched in PhotoShop Elements PhotoMerge tool. f4 @ 1/1000th @ ISO 80. Processed for intensity, clarity, and sharpness in Lightroom.
