USA Cypress Tree Tunnel - Pt Reyes National Seashore
The Point Reyes tree tunnel is an incredible sight year-round. However, if you wish to capture that iconic light ray shot, sunrise and sunset are the absolute best times to visit. Depending on the season of your visit, you might even get lucky and witness light rays peeping through low fog. This image was taken at sunset but without fog.
Photography Tips
Focus stacking and exposure bracketing are recommended for this kind of shot.
