Kincaids On the Pier

Hi all,

This was one of the Kincaids Restaurant on Redondo Beach Pier that I shot with a Tokina 16 – 28mm lens on test. It worked well but couldn’t match the Canon 16-35mm f1.4 IS. Great fun trying them out and a gorgeous day in Redondo!

Redondo Beach Home Sales March 2014

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

Some Classic Car shots taken on Redondo Beach Pier, Fishermans Warf, at the 10TH ANNUAL RODS, RIDES AND RELICS CLASSIC CAR SHOW ON THE PIER. September 22nd, 2013. I was using a wide angle lens and polarizer on the Canon 60D probably not a good combination. But hey, If I keep shooting hopefully I will get better right?

Hi All,

Here is a pretty good review and comparison on the Fujifilm XM-1. It compares quality, build, response and etc. wth the Olympus PEN E-P5 and the Panasonic Lumix GF6. A pretty thorough review with interesting results. Let’s see how pricing goes over the next few months!!
