Ocean Series II: Scripps Pier

Scripps Pier

These shots were taken in La Jolla - San Diego, CA at Sunset, with my 100-400mm telephoto lens. The telephoto lens will help in decreasing the distance of the background and foreground. Basically it creates an illusion of lesser depth of field so that things that are far apart seem closer together -perspective control. Usually perspective of architecture is taken in wideangle, but here I chose the unconventional telephoto perspective for architecture detail. I know most everyone visiting this area must have a picture of this - but here is my twist. Check out more shots by others: Scripps Pier. Hope you enjoy these pictures.

A Year in Review

As today marks the last day of this year 2010, I thought I would take some time to post quick highlights from this year. Ive actually been looking forward to the new year. With that being said I do not mean Im not thankful for 2010. I think all the ups and downs have some sort of play in our life- and gets you grounded.

This is my last of self-portraits goals -shot with a Nikon D90 on the last day of the year. My family and I were vacationing at Santa Barbara/Solvang. This was shot just as the sun was setting and I just took a few minutes to enjoy it and soak it in. It is beautifully blue!

I had set a lot of goals for 2010 and I would say I have not completed most. I realize sometimes life can take you in an unplanned path - good or bad we wont know until we reach the end. So I want to just share the good from this year:

• doing a photoshoot with models - working with people your not use to
• getting a job in a studio - learning the work flow
• being able to pour my heart out in tiffinbox - i got a lot of good response
• a new light - opens new doors in photography ;]
• and getting in front of the camera with self portraits- always a good way to build confidence
  

I didnt want to do too much of a detailed post since I want to keep the new year open to change. Here's to the new year...cheers! ;]
