    Nice ones Ed thumb.gifthumb.gif


    Yeah, that 1st one is really nice. I love those long exposure daylight shots clap.gif


    OK, so how do you do it? Every weekend you seem to be shooting another nice (and fairly distant) location. Does the whole family go, or do you head out on your own? I have to do most of my shooting mid-week, when no one is around. Even then, it's fairly local. So how do you do it? Did you have to buy the family their own cameras?....lol

    Thanks for sharing these,

    Thanks Steve,

    Almost every weekend I pack the whole family up and we pick a place to go see. My wife has her 10D my daughter (5) has a Sony 717 and we just head out. This weekend we did Santa Barbara to Ragged Point ( just south of Big Sur )

    I'm lucky enough to have a wife that also enjoys photography, I think my daughter just more or less tolerates it. It's been really good for our family, instead of just sitting around watching TV, we're out doing something together.

    Just this weekend we saw two California Missions, some 400 year old cave paintings, had lunch on a cliff overlooking the pacific. I just can't get that at home.

    One more for the heck of it

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks Andy, I didn't even spot that before, I guess I shouldn't work on these when I'm too tired. I took care of the problem, look any better?

    Ed,

    Did you stop for the sea lions?

    Ragged Point is on my list of neat-o places. Like that one.

    Hey Ian, yeah I stopped for the sea lions, only about a hundred or so on the beach at the moment, a hundred sounds like a lot but last month there were over a thousand.. :)

    Still a couple of pups out there, all of the big bulls are back out to sea.

    Yep, the first one is a winner.....
    The lines created by the receiding wave add dynamism to the image, while the framing of the rocks in the water are very pleasing on the eye & help to balance the image.

    I see you were unlucky with the weather though....the coast would have looked even better with some evening light on it

    Great work nonetheless

    The sea lion shots are nice!

    A friend of mine rode up from LA for lunch in Moss Landing on Saturday. He
    mentioned terrible conditions on the ride home--rain and a couple of landslides.
    Hopefully, you missed all that :D
