Both of my kids tried buggy-boarding for the first time. Here is my 8 year old, waiting for the perfect wave.

August 4, 2009 - Feathered or Feathers (96)


I liked this photo, but there was, basically, no composition. So, I added a frame to make it a little more interesting.

August 2, 2009 - Name That Beach

I tend usually to crop with the horizon in the top or bottom 3rd, but I liked the rocks, so I left it alone.
This is an even more isolated part of the beach. It looked like the water comes up pretty dangerously high during high tide. I didn't want to test it.

August 1, 2009 - Name That Beach


This is a part of the beach that people don't frequent very much. It is far away from the parking lot. You have to walk about 30 minute. There is lots of tar on the beach here, which is very difficult to get off of your feet and impossible to get off of your clothes. There are, also, lots of rocks, so there isn't much chance for beach volleyball. It is, however, a great place for pics. This is a tiny cave cut into the cliff by the surf.

July 31, 2009 - Name that Beach


I just recently returned from camping near the beach. Does anywhere care to guess what beach this is? It is in California. I'll post photos over the next few days. This shot is the view from our campsite. You can see our pop up tent in the edge of the photo.
I like this shot, but this lens is not the greatest. You can always see fringing. I don't know if that is the right word, but I'm talking about that blue halo around anything of contrasting colors. Does anyone know how to deal with that in PSE?
