DAY 33

I drove over to Santa Monica for an errand and afterwards, I went to the Santa Monica Pier. I  have seen the equipment for the Trapeze School but I have never seen the school in action. This time, there were classes going on. I only had the kit lens on my camera. And while I got some great shots, like this one, I am excited to go back with my other lens to get some really great shots!

Day 320

Date: Dec. 13, 2010
Weather: Warm, sunny, nice
Time: 3:31pm
Location: Santa Monica Beach, Santa Monica, CA
Camera: Canon Rebel, 70-210mm lens, ISO 200, Shutter Speed 1/640, Aperture f/4.5
Misc. Info: Taken while walking along the path on Santa Monica Beach. I got a few other pictures of these guys swinging. It was really impressive the way they were moving. (And a hot guy shirtless doesn't hurt!)

Day 264

Date: Oct. 18, 2010
Weather: Chilly, damp, overcast
Time: 2:47pm
Camera: iPhone 3Gs
Location: Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA
Misc. Info: I decided to go back to the ocean to get my picture for the day. I took a lot and excited to get some different angles this time around. This seagull was sitting on the railing of the pier. I had shot it from one angle but the parking lot with cars in the background. I didn't much care for that. So I changed angles and walked towards the gull. It didn't like me coming at him, so he took flight. I snapped this shot and I was amazed I got mid-take off shot! I used the Hipstamatic App with the John S. Lens and the Alfred Infrared Film.

Day 254

Date: Oct. 8, 2010

Weather: Warm, Sunny, So NICE!! :)

Time: 4:41pm

Camera: Canon Rebel, ISO 200, 18-55mm Lens, Shutter Speed 1/1250, Aperture f/5.6

Location: Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA

Misc. Info: I needed to the beach in order to have a de-stresser. Things have been really crazy in my life with my health and my family. So I took my camera and headed over to Santa Monica and beach. Since then, the weight my shoulders has become much more manageable. I adjusted in Aperture and dropped the color out.

Day 13

Date: Feb. 7, 2010

Weather: Sunny, mid to low 60's, few clouds

Time: 3:30pm

Camera: Samsung Point and Shoot

Location: Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA

Misc. Info: Such a good day! First it was off to the Vintage Fashion Expo, then to the Pier. Phillip and I walked all the way down to the end of the Pier and back. We had a late lunch at Bubba Gumps. This shot was taken leaning over the railing of the Pier. I adjusted the contrast a bit and turned it black and white. I had so much fun. I really need to hit the beach more often. Boy, do I miss it!
