I took today’s photo on a fishing trip with my family.  Coming back with the setting sun and the boat’s wake made for an image I really liked.

Today’s photo was taken while returning from a fishing trip off the coast of San Diego a couple years ago. Something about sunsets and water that just go so well together.  Sony NEX-5N, SEL1855 @ 18mm, 1/60, f/5.0, ISO 100.

Today’s photo is another from San Diego.  As we departed on our fishing trip I shot this HDR image from the back of the boat.  The horizon is centered which is supposed to be a no-no, but I like the contrast between the drama of the clouds and the wake from the boat on the water.  Sony NEX-5N, SEL16mm, f/6.3

Today’s photo is from a fishing trip I took a year or so ago off the coast of San Diego.  We were out all day which made for some great shots on the water as the sun went down.  Sony NEX-5N, SEL1855 @ 18mm, 1/640, f/9.0, ISO 100.

Today’s photo is another from this past weekend in Pismo Beach.  I placed my tripod near the door, but forgot to put it in the car so I didn’t have it with me.  Luckily I keep the GorillaPod in the backpack and was able to stick it on a railing to get this shot.  It was about 10 at night, so there weren’t many people out but there were stars.  Sony NEX-5N, SEL16mm, 46 seconds, f/8.0, ISO 100

Today’s photo is from Shell Beach this past weekend.  I stacked my two .6 ND filters and my circular polarizer and at f/18, I still could only go as low as 1.3 seconds.  I think I need a .9 or darker ND filter next time I go to the ocean.  Edited in Perfect Effects 4 and Lightroom 4.

It’s been a minute since I’ve updated this I know.  I have plenty of pictures in my library I can post, but haven’t felt too compelled to go out and shoot lately.  So when my dad asked if I wanted to go deep sea fishing in San Diego on Thursday, I figured it would be fun and provide some good photo opportunities.

This was a photo I took when we were coming back in as the sun was setting one of the many pelicans that were following the boat flew by as I went to capture the setting sun.  It’s not perfectly in focus, but I like how it turned out.

Sunday morning I woke up in our hotel room in Seal Beach and wanted to take some pictures at the beach.  I knew it was too late for sunrise, but still early enough that people weren’t out.  I walked down to the beach and sure enough, there was only a handful of people there exercising.  I took a couple moments to enjoy the serenity of the nearly empty beach before taking a few photos.  This photo was taken with the Minolta 135 f/3.5.
