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]

Tomales Bay Oysters For All......Yum!

Had a great time with friends at Tomales Bay pigging out on Oysters & beer in celebration of summer and a friend's birthday. Damn good time....It's late, I'm sleepy so I'm just gonna leave you with some images (that you'll hopefully enjoy) that I was able to grab during the pig-out feast. Oddly enough, none of them include pictures of oysters, but I'd probably get killed showing pictures my friend's pigging out in public...

Go try out Tomales Bay Oyster Company if you have some time and take along some good company. It'll be a fun experience, promise! :D
