Graham 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2007 I spent last weekend in San Diego with my family, and took a few snapshots. The day time lighting was too bright and harsh, and Saturday night we went for a dinner cruise and trying to take night time shots on a moving vibrating boat was basically impossible. But it was a fun family weekend. San Diego is a cool city... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

letumgo 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2007 San Diego is an awesome city!!! I've been out there a number of times and loved it every time. If I get out there again I intend to rent a kayak for a day and flyfish Mission Bay or La Jolla. Thanks for sharing the great photos (love the night shots).

Graham 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Thanks guys, I'm really glad you like them. San Diego is a beautiful city, and the air is so much cleaner than in LA. I'm looking forward to going back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlin 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Definitely some nice wide angle shots Graham. I especially like the shot looking up into the ship's rigging. What lens(es) were you using? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 Hey Chris, I used the 17-55 /2.8 for all of the shots, except for the pelican. I was taking pics by the tide pools when I saw some pelicans flying around, popped the 70-200 /2.8 on the camera and got off a couple of quick shots. Normally back lit birds dont have much detail due to poor lighting, but the sun was reflecting up from the tide pools and lit the underside of the wings. I wished I had a tripod with me next to the aircraft carrier, but it was a family trip, and lugging a camera bag was ok, but a tripod would have been a pain to constantly carry. I'd love to go back to these places with optimal lighting conditions. I think the dinner crusie in June would be good because the sun would not set before departure. I have a lot more pics from the trip but haven't had the time yet to look at them all and change file sizes and upload. I really love the 17-55 lens!!!!
