Here is your chance to photograph one of California’s premier landscape and nature locations. Known as the “Crown jewel of the California State Park System”, the windswept shores, rocky coast, and mystical forests of Point Lobos have been an inspiration to Edward Weston, Ansel Adams and generations of landscape photographers. Its timeless beauty, power and mystery moved famed Landscape Artist Francis McComas to declare that “Point Lobos is the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.”
Come spend the day with Award Winning Photographer Paul Dileanis exploring the rocky cliffs, cypress groves, pebbled beaches and cobalt coves that provide an endless variety of photographic opportunities.
