From the old cliff house on the shore of Ocean Beach, you'll have a clear view of the cluster of three rock formations, known as Seal Rocks. Have a friend stand on the shore and capture the magical colors of the sky as the sun sets right before your eyes!

I took this photo of Seal Rocks at Ocean Beach on the terrace next to the Camera Obscura & Holograph in San Francisco. There are a few ways to get to this location, but I recommend driving.
First, park along any of the many parking spots along Point Lobos Ave. Then head south along the building and onto the concrete balcony. Seal Rocks will be directly west into the ocean when you stand on the concrete balcony.
Direct your model to go down to the shore and reference the GPS coordinates to stand in the same place I did to get this west-facing perspective.
