Just for Fun!!

I was at the Brit Week  stands on Third Street Prom last weekend and had a blast!! The new Jaguar F-Type was on display and being a Brit couldn’t resist taking a closer look…

I didn’t actually go anywhere just blurred the background a bit in Photoshop and imagined I was driving up Pacific Coast Highway!! Jaguar is now owned by Tata Motors of India and it didn’t quite have the feel or finesse of the old Jags. It’s a shame to see all the old and famous names migrate across the oceans but that’s progress I suppose!! The starting price isn’t too bad and you can drive one off for 69 grand plus tax. No extras of course!!

Thanks again for taking a look…

To look at ourselves in reverse is another way of reflecting on the future! To truley see the way forward we must walk into the hall of mirrors and understand where the light originates from… It must shine from within illuminated by what has been learnt from the past.

Hi all,

Hope you are having fun this weekend!! We went over to the Brit Week on Third Street Promanade in Santa Monica on Saturday. It was a lot of fun, then Third Street is always a lot of fun, with the activity and street performers, you can’t help having a good time! I shot a few photos and hopefully will upload some more soon. This one I shot on the way back to the car and just thought it was pretty funky!! What do you think?

Sun-up at the Grand Canyon Revisited

Mike Hope 1 Comment

Hi all,

I know I posted the sun up photo in October last year but since then I just revisited some of the shots I took and found three shots in sequence with different shutter speeds from a slightly different angle than the first photo. I put them into Lightroom and used LR/Enfuse to blend them together. Then did a little work in Photoshop to bring out the depth. I have placed some small pictures of the individual shots before I processed them and you can see the difference with the final output. Thought you might like to take a look at how it came out!!

Bye the way, I was using my old Canon 60D and a rental Canon 24-105MM F/4 lens. I rented the Lens from LensRentals.com a great place to try before you by and get the lowdown on all the equipment! One thing I really needed was a sturdy tripod and to remember to use mirror lock-up.

Sunset on the Pier

Mike Hope Leave a comment

Hi all,

I wanted to share this vibrant sunset with you!

I reworked this a little and brought out the depth. Thought these iron and mess decorations on the pier made a nice foreground to the beautiful sunset!!  I caught this with the hand held Canon EOS-M with 22mm lens. Hope you like it!

Redondo Beach Home Sales March 2014

Mike Hope Leave a comment

Hi All,

Spring at last!!!

Well it certainly looks like sales were pretty brisk in March, with more single family homes being sold and a continuing upward trend in prices. Inventory is pretty low right now so this could be a great time to sell! If you would like more information check out Cecily Lee’s web at cecilylee.com or give Cecily a call on 310-376-5673

San Francisco Shoreline!!

Leave a comment

Hi All,

I recently got back from a great trip up to San Francisco. While I was there I took a few shots around the Fishermans Wharf (and a few photographs too!!)…

…and in Crissy Fields down by the water. This is a great park with the Golden Gate Bridge as a back drop. This particular day it was really hot and there was a lot of people lying out on the beach.

It is also a dog lovers delight…

…as they can run free and enjoy the water too.

 

 

There is also a number of steel sculpture by Mark di Suvero at Crissy      Fields. All of which are very impressive!!

Spring Barrow by Mike-Hope

Mike Hope Leave a comment

Hi All,

Since spring is officially here I thought I’d take a walk around the South Bay Botanical Gardens in Palos Verdes and check out the wonderful botanical offerings that are on display. What a superb place to spend a leisurely afternoon. The dedicated volunteers and regular staff put so much effort into what is a virtual paradise in amongst the hustle and bustle…

Spring Barrow Mike-Hope

…just a few hundred yards away.  You actually feel you’re way out in the country with a mixture of exotic plants from palms to pines and flowers and shrubs galore. I’d highly recommend you give it a visit if you are in the area. I spotted another photographer taking a shot of this wheel barrow and commented on what a great shot it would make. I came back later at the end of my walk and grabbed this shot. I really like it!  I hope you do too, it’s a real spring reminder.

Thanks for taking a look,

Mike Hope
