Northern Cal (The Bay Area)

grimace

I recently spent 48 hours in the greater "Bay Area" with one of Dgrin's great tour guides, aktse. Even with a great tour guide, this wasn't my greatest performance. I'll blame this one on lack of time and a failed experiment. Davev on the other hand will state it is due to lack of talent. :huh

Either way, hears a couple from the trip.

Bay Bridge


Montera Lighthouse


San Francisco City Hall


Random Sand Dune


Jelly Fish at The Monterey Aquarium


Bay Bridge


Golden Gate Bridge

Looks like you had a couple of nice days here!

There are a few lighthouses along the coast in what'd be considered the Bay Area. You have Point Bonita Light (near the GGB, Montera (the lighthouse in your photo), Pigeon Point (South of HMB) and a couple in the Santa Cruz area.

Thanks for sharing the shots from your trip!

Failed experiment? What were trying? And I wished that you had more time here! You got some amazing frames!

And I bet you have more keepers! clap



It was such a fast trip! You must come back, but this time, you must bring Kendal!

I also have to thank him because if it wasn't for him, I would have not come back in the evening to shoot the Fresnel light at the pigeon point lighthouse.

Hi Adam! Well, I have 4 more sleeps til I am touring northern Cali, and your images are a great inspiration to me..(well, other than the Calgary Flames images but that is another discussion all together ).

April is promising to show us the same sort of sites, the weather looks beautiful, and Nik is planning a special little shoot for Saturday afternoon to boot.

Despite being a Flames game, I quite like the fish eye of the arena, and of course the jelley fish!!!

And I want to see the images that you got when you risked your gear and clothes, per Aprils post!

It is a huge problem with the Bay Area. There is just not enough great scenery to make the trip here worth it

Nice captures of my fav city Grimace. You covered a ton of territory in such a short time.

I imagine the seal is saying "The water is too damn cold and I am sleeping, go away!"
