San Juan Capistrano Water Lilies Photograph by Michael Hope

 

Hi all,

We were down in San Jan Capistrano last weekend and I came across these water lilies in the Mission area. They were so colorful and reminded me of Monet’s famous water lily collection I had viewed earlier in the year whilst visiting the de Young in San Francisco, so I gave it a bit of a painterly feel. Hope you like it…

San Francisco Shoreline!!

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!!

Hi all,

I hope you are having a great Holiday Season. I was up in Sonoma and San Franciso recently and got a chance to try out the Canon 6D. So far I am really liking it. The shots mainly come out pretty good and I have been posting some on 500px and thought you might want to take a look. This one was a fly over by a wily Turkey Buzzard. I used the 24 to 105mm f/4 as he flew over and caught this shot.  Let me know what you think or if you have any questions on the Canon 6D I’d be happy to to help.

Before I go what do you think about this shot from Hawks  Hill of the Golden Gate Bridge. This was a really busy Sunday and hardly anywhere to stop. I would recommend anyone taking the time to go up the road to Hawks Hill and see if you can find a space and maybe hike down towards the bridge. Truly tremendous to be up there…
