Wedding at Seascape . . .

Had a great time spending the weekend in the Monterey Bay area to attend a friend's wedding. Managed to fit in a wedding, the aquarium and part of the 17 Mile Drive.


Mmmm....luscious bokeh. Who can deny giving some love to the bokeh? [ ISO 200 - 95mm @ f/2.8 - 1/6400s ]


None other than a sea shell cake at the Seascape resort. [ ISO 1600 - 55mm @ f/2.8 - 1/200s ]


My attempt at a vintage looking shot. This was a tough shot to grab, it was a very bright day with haze hanging over the ocean side and had to shoot at the sun. Had no fill flash as I was too far away for flash so exposure was tough to nail, but I managed to grab one without the faces completely under exposed. [ ISO 160 - 185mm @ f/3.5 - 1/400s ]


The lovely couple showing off their moves. [ ISO 1600 - 55mm @ f/3.5 - 1/60s ]

The Lions are Dancing . . .

A buddy and his brother had a photo gig taking pictures of the 38th anniversary celebration of the Leung's White Crane Dragon and Lion Dance Association and I tagged along for a portion of it to help out. Amazing how many people are part of the association just in San Francisco. I think it's over 300+ people that are active in the association.

Lion's head through the crowd. The streets were packed waiting for the dragons and lions to come out. [ISO 100 - 200mm @ f/2.8 - 1/1600]
