I'm sure most of you have left already. I started getting sick last night, and I was hoping I could sleep it away but I'm still not feeling great and I have to go back to work later today so I will have to sit this one out. Hopefully it works out better next time.

(If you look up places to hike in LA, a majority of them are quite nice)
Personally I use modernhiker.com to find cool hiking locations/landscape areas in the LA area. It even categorizes the locations by difficulty so you can find some green (easy) spots to have a model go with you for a landscape portrait!

One of my favorite shots. Wasn't that taken from your sun roof? Was this an HDR? If so, how did you do it hand held?

Zerimar
7th of May 2011 (Sat), 12:21
I stopped my car in the middle of that road (convertible), not to mention that that road has pretty much 0 cars driving on it (rather a random road at that part of it) then set my camera to take a 5 exposure HDR and just held the camera over my head, put 2 second timer and did AV mode at f8 and just hoped that I would get a nice series...

needless to say I am happy with the shot and it was dubbed '"The Happy Accident" in a gallery it's hanging in.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will definitely check out Santa Monica Mountains. I went to UCI Ecological Preserve. In the back, theres a entrance from a neighborhood that has a great little walkway with benches and fountains. Once you go further, you enter the ecological preserve which is very cool. Has trails to walk on and a lot of cacti.

Jose72388
24th of May 2011 (Tue), 15:21
Hey there! I might have the thing for you! It's Limestone Canyon in Irvine, so it's quite close. Everyone compares it to the mini-grand canyon right in LA. It's about a 4-5ish mile hike to hit red rock canyon type views. Not as dramatic as Grand cayon but still awesome nonetheless.

The only downside is that you must go on a guided tour as the lands are preserved for ecological and scholarly purposes.

Walrus, it depends on how long a 'day' you mean. Just north of Mojave is the Red Rock area with good shots just after dawn. A little farther up 395 at Lone Pine are some nice rock formations in the Alabama Hills, but that would be an over-nighter.
If you like coastal shots the area around Santa Barbara is nice.

What a coincidence. I just flew into John Wayne Orange County Airport from Seattle. I'd rather fly than drive, that's for sure. But I was coming from Pullman, Washington, on to Spokane, to Seattle.

Laguna looks real nice. My first time here.

San Diego Zoo, maybe Disney, here we come.

Any other ideas, peoples?

Hi So Cal members. This Saturday (6/11) in Fountain Valley is a decent car show. (Mile Square Park) Went the last two years, makes for some nice car shots and it is free. Typically around 200+ show up. They show around 7:00, but they leave around 11:30 or so.

I was just in town last weekend, I usually drive down every other weekend. Might have to find a reason to come back down again this weekend if I don't have to work.
Thanks for posting the event.

Typical type of cars that showed last year. They only let in blue cars that year...:D

These were all taken with my old Rebel. Hopefully I can improve some with the 7D.

So Cali was beautiful. Loved the San Diego zoo. Amazing.

Disney was fun.

La Jolla was nice, ate on the water.

Stayed in Laguna. Great location, big surf, lot of surfers.

Went to Rodeo Drive and then Hollywood walk of fame.

Great vacation topped off by dumbest move ever.

In order to fly home to NY, flew out of John Wayne to Portland to LAX to NY. Can we say dumb!!!!!

But that air port is awesome!! You just fly through no big lines to get through security like LAX.

Did you just fly to Portland for a layover? Because even with traffic driving from SNA to LAX is faster.

Well guys, I've got a small group (3 including me) headed to the Salton Sea on the 26th of this month.

Anyone is welcome to go with us. I'm taking two friends of mine that have never been there, we're starting on the west bank and we're going to try to find the old Naval Station that is supposed to be down there.

PM me if you're interested in going!

I didn't have intentions to bring models as there may be a good deal of trekking on foot involved. So you could say the primary goal was for "scenery"

I think if you bid on it then you will get it for 649.. hopefully.. 22 minutes left on it so up to you. I'd say an xp1100 for 649 is still damn good with an extra battery. I love mine and would gladly pay that again for it

Hello everyone!

I am working with the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse (www.missionplayhouse.org) and we'll be setting up a photography event for photographers only to network, meet, have fun, and shoot at a location not readily accessible.

You're more than welcome to have a meet up at this event as it is free. Even if you won't be attending, it would be great to get the word out there to fellow photographers that are eager to learn and shoot a historic location.

Where: San Gabriel Mission Playhouse

When: July 31, 2011 2:00 - 5:30PM

What: We understand that in order to get the best picture that you can take, you must understand the history of what you’re shooting. For this event, you will be offered a tour around the rich history of the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse followed by a meet and greet and at least 3 hours of free roam shooting around the Mission Playhouse. Please show up on-time!

After the event, the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse will be hosting a contest for the best photo of the day, details below.

Why:
• This is a rare occasion to be able to shoot a place where most photographers are not allowed unless given special permission
• Learn about the rich history of this beautiful land mark in the heart of the San Gabriel Valley.
• Network and trade contact information (Maybe, pick up another shooter for your business)
• Amateur and professionals welcome
• Build your portfolio
• Learn tips from fellow shooters
• Last but not least, have fun!

Who: You the photographer and 1 guest

Cost: Free

Contest: Submit your best digital photo of the event to us at sgmissionplayhouse@gmail.com and we will upload that photo to a contest album. The photos will be uploaded on August 8th, giving 1 week for you photogs to do final edits and to submit your photo to us. Your photos will be “liked” by the fans of the Mission Playhouse and most importantly, photographers like you!

Prize: The photographer with the most “Likes” on their photo will win 2 free show tickets to the event of your choice that will be hosted at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse.


Here is a link to the FB event.
