Welcome aboard. :lol:

HAHAHA believe it or not yes - very popular with a ton of bars and clubs. A large majority of local 20-30 somethings hang out here on the weekends. I will try to get some shots if I can sometime soon, because it is actually really cool.

Been shooting the Red Tails or migratory Buzzards?

[evorgsumaf]

grimie09,
I have this one Red Tail that sits on the power line about 100 yards from my backyard. Most times, it is very skitish; but there have been times I can sneak up on it and just watch. I don't know why I haven't taken my camera? As for the buzzards, I don't think I have seen any. I will keep my eyes open for them.

Like you wouldn't believe! They are building up all around us, and it is making a bad situation worse.

[Belmondo]

Like you wouldn't believe! They are building up all around us, and it is making a bad situation worse.That's much the same as out here in the desert. When we moved here from the Bay Area 7 years ago, everything seemed very spread out and open feeling. Now, they're starting to fill in all the spaces, and other than the temperature, it almost feels like we've been swallowed up by Los Angeles. Fortunately, we're still only about a 20-minute drive from barren desert and the quiet of nothingness. When it gets to a half hour, I'll probably move again.

I shoot from Mission Road between E 1st street & the 101.
You can drive between the buildings and up to the rail road tracks, it's east of the city.

I also have shot from Stadium Way north of the 110 and south of Elysian Park, there is a great view from the north. This is also my the LA County Fire Department training facility were they have a piece of one of the World Trade Center buildings on display. (Behind a locked gate at night)

I don't know how great these neighborhoods are so I shoot fast & keep my mag light close.

Lots to shoot right now because of all the snow falling around the city, no snow in the city but in the hills around us. March and April are good months to shoot here too, with the California Poppies in bloom. If we have a good poppy season this year they will cover most all the open hillsides.

Believe me, I've looked and there aren't many waterfalls around the Orange Co. area. In fact, I only found one--and it's a man-made one. :( It's at the Fullerton Arboretum (http://arboretum.fullerton.edu/).

Here's a photo I took of it. I wanted a long exposure of 2 seconds to smooth the water, so I used a very tiny aperture (f/38) with a Graduated ND filter.

I think it's worth it, there are 3 locations, turn 1, , 6 & 8. Turn 1 is really fast, and they say the celebrities always crash there. Turn 6 is ok, but a little slow. Turn 8 is a long walk and is a 30mph or so even with the F1's. It's though to get any good shots there at all. The cars don't lean into the corner and they are too slow to pan. Other then that the views are unobstructed.
This one shows the great job a 20D does focusing on moving objects:

I think this is my first post. I got my XTi about a month ago and I like it.

Hello, everyone! I'm located in San Francisco (Bay Area), but I go to school in Novato (Marin County). Any good locations to shoot in Marin/Sonoma?

Wineries for the Sonoma area. The Marin Headlands, the GG Bridge, Point Bonita Lighthouse, etc. There are tons of places to go shoot.

Just get out there and have fun with it. You learn something every time you shoot.

I'm in Contra Costa County (Clayton to be specific).

Welcome to the group. :D

I take classes at the College of Marin and now that the weather is getting nice I intend on skipping class n heading to West Marin to take pix.

Pt Reyes has Tule Elk, Bobcats, hawks, elephant seals, harbor seals, and sea lions depending on the season.

Mount Tamalpais Watershed District (Kent Lake and its surrounding trails, Bon Tempe Lake, etc) I've seen rattle snakes and scorpions and even a bald eagle here- not to mention the views from Mt. Tam itself.

Samuel P Taylor and Muir Woods state parks have redwood trees n wildlife.

Stinson Beach and that whole Hwy 1 area is beautiful and of course...

The Golden Gate Bridge.

Any good rocket launch shots at night???

[JBerlotti]

Every night launch we have had there is a rediculous amount of fog. This base is plagued by it. There are a few opportunities in the future. Lets hope for no fog! :rolleyes:
