Mt. Figueroa, shrouded

DavidTO

After enjoying the wildflowers so much last weekend I decided to take my son up to Mt. Figueroa, to a spot that Marc had take us on the Santa Barbara Spring Fling last year. Here are some pics from the trip, roughly edited. Click for EXIF.

Oh, and I also wanted to try out my new 15mm fisheye.

The mountain was shrouded in fog.




Poppies only open up in the sun.





The lupines were nice!



Down the hill it got a bit sunnier, and my 15mm fish didn't leave my camera.

(Had to shoot the new car!)

The fish is fun!







We had a good day.

Love the second shot (of the poppies). Very vibrant image.

Cheers,

Thanks! That one came out pretty good. It's tough enough to get a good composition on these things, but then the wind adds another level of challenge. It's like shooting ducks at an arcade sometimes!

I absolutely love the second one. The third one is poetic with the poppy wrapped. The 7th is a fun perspective - cool!

Thanks, Ela. I'm making a 5x7 folded card of that second one for my mom.
