Lighting was getting bad but I made the best of it.

Might want to resize the Alcatraz shot. All nice though. Never been off the East Coast.

Thanks, I'm resizing i right now i'm not sure what happened to it.
Wanna trade coasts for a while? LOL. Ive never been further East than Utah and Montana

[_aravena]

Sounds nice. I've actually love the scenery in San Fransisco. Looks like you could shoot there for years and not cover everything

[medicdude]

Yeah there is quite a bit. The blue angels practice in the bay quite a bit, I was lucky enough to be there on one of those days last year. I'm going to go to alcatraz during the next airshow, to watch from the middle of the bay, instead of from the shore.

[_aravena]

Yeah, when I was in Va Bch and the airshow had them, I just sat in my back yard and shot them. If I wanted some better ones, I knew the area so I drove around without avoiding the traffic.

I like the irony in #1....the boat in the background belongs to a company that scatters the remains (ashes) of the deceased at sea....

[medicdude]

Wow I did not know that, thanks for the info Dan.

[kbyrd8455]

These are great. I am another one that never been off the east coast. Hopefully one day I could make it over there. Tripod guy is classic too.

Anybody notice all the Sea Lions lounging around below the pier behind the Coast Guard ? Pier 39 perhaps?

[medicdude]

yes its pier 39, there werent that many there that day, only about 50% of what is normally there.

One of these days I'll get to see San Francisco with clear skies. I've been there many times, but it's always been overcast and rainy.

What is the odd little circle in the upper right corner of the photo of Alcatraz? Did you shoot that through a window?

[medicdude]

i was very lucky to have such good weather. it has been stormy here for almost two weeks straight before saturday. that odd spot, is dust on my sensor. lol

[sumyungguy]

need a little horizon adjustment in a few..

The beach shot is nice, would have been great to get a longer exposure on it..

[CHICAGO-N]

dust on ur lens

[medicdude]

there was dust on the 10-20 in the beach shot, im sure it was on the lens because its not on any of the other shots from the day.

This is the all new live view stance and holding technique for the 40D, without tripod! :)

[medicdude]

If thats a 40d, thats the biggest asian man i've ever seen! lol.

[jlozano180]

I would say its the first human tripod
