Sorry for the harsh title, I didn't mean to irritate you. But then again, there are a few possible outcomes everybody should be always aware of. In that sense, I think it's perfectly appropriate to make each other feel uncomfortable at times.
Photo Walker
A picture from yesterday's photo walk in La Jolla. The weather wasn't typical California style which even made some people cancel. However the weather was perfect for HDR. I was pretty impressed how curious everybody was to learn the technique. It all ended in a Photoshop session where I showed my processing workflow to my most eager students. Lots of fun - thanks guys!
City in Fog
I'm getting ready for the photo walk tomorrow. I hope some of you are able to join.
La Jolla Photo Walk - Oct. 17
Anyone going to come out and join my photo walk on Sunday? Photographers of all levels are welcome.
Here is the plan: We are going to explore beautiful La Jolla - that's the northern part of San Diego. I thought about it for a while and figured out that this is the very best place for a nice walk. It has a very pretty downtown-ish area and a few steps from there is the ocean front. At the beach we have rocks and cliffs with wildlife including seals, so you might wanna bring your telephoto lens. However, as my mother has proven to me recently, you can also take great pictures there with a pocket camera.
We will meet up at the Living Room Cafe at 4:30, stroll around, and will seek out good positions to shoot the sunset over the ocean at 6:30. I'm looking forward to meeting you and help out in case you have any photography questions.
Who: Photographers of all levels.
When: Sunday, October 17, 4:30 pm
Meetup at: the Living Room Cafe, 1010 Prospect Street La Jolla, CA 92037
I also created a Facebook event for that. Yay!
Now Leasing
Steffi and I were on the fishing pier in Ocean Beach yesterday. There are so many people with huge fishing rods, it makes it easily to keep a low profile when walking with a fully extended tripod.
Foggy San Diego Morning
You don't get such a sky here often, however, on Wednesday night we had in fact a thunderstorm - which is pretty weird. The morning after I had to drop my family to the airport which led to the rare event of me seeing the sun rise.
Now in case this picture confuses you, let me tell you that San Diego is full of little hills with nice homes spread all over the landscape. It allows you to photograph the city in many interesting perspectives. All you need to know is where to go. This one was taken from Mount Soledad.
San Diego Photo Tour?
Because San Diego has so much beauty and so many facets, I'm thinking of offering a photo tour across the city showing you some exciting spots. That would basically be a free event for photographers of all levels to enjoy and photograph the city together. I'm just not sure if anybody who is up for it is reading this. Let me know if you are interested.
