Return to San Juan Capistrano
I know, I promised infrared, but I went back to the mission at San Juan Capistrano. This time, I used a Nikon D700 with a 50mm 1.4, for most of the images. After awhile, Joe Photo and I traded lenses and I shot with his 20-35mm 2.8. Joe and I are both members of the...
Huntington Beach City Council
I don’t normally use this blog to make political statements. However, I live in a beach community, in Southern California. Beach communities have to do a balancing act.

Mission – San Juan Capistrano

Beachcruisers in Huntington Beach
Some images from the 10th Annual Beachcruisers Meet, in Huntington Beach. I noticed that most of the men were in their sixties, and wearing Hawaiian or Surf motif shirts, that probably fit them better, a few years ago.
Single Focal Length Lens Photowalk
Photowalks are a great way to get out and challenge yourself, yet have a relaxed day of shooting — relaxed in the sense that you have no client to satisfy — just yourself:-) A great way to recharge the batteries!! Yesterday, the challenge was to use just one lens — more accurately, one focal length,...
