It's been a crazy and exciting couple of weeks, still trying to catch my breath and get caught up with post processing & uploading.
First, there was my first trip to Big Sur. Originally planned to go their for a friend's wedding but decided to make it into an extra long 4 day weekend. So much to see there, need to go back for an extended trip and just focus on photos, every turn in the road is a new opportunity. I managed to get up for sunrise every morning. I had rented a tilt-shift lens to get more practice with panoramas, some were successful, others weren't. Here are some of my favs.

The setting for the wedding was incredible, in the forest with a nice bridge and running stream. Proper exposure proved to be more challenging than expected because of lack of light under the trees, was equipped with the 24-70 2.8L lens but wish I had brought the 50 1.8, good thing I was just a guest. Got a couple breaks with the sun coming through the canopy and smoke from campfires added extra ambience.
Immediately following this weekend was the fires that filled up my entire week with obsessive shooting, see previous post.
The following weekend I drove down to Yuma, AZ to hit the dunes as a favor to a friend. There was a meet up of 1/5th scale R/C car enthusiasts. I'm still an r/c dork at heart so it was interesting, but entirely too hot in the desert.
This weekend took some conceptual shots for stock usage, we'll see how they turn out. Next weekend off to Maui for 8 days, boo hoo. I keep promising to pack light in the camera department but don't know what will happen. It would be a shame to leave the 100-400 at home and miss some freak giant waves at jaws.
