Inverness Boat

Just a quick shoot from last full moon of The Point Reyes, a beached boat in Inverness that's been there for years.

Battery Spencer

On the way back from a daytrip up to Bodega Bay last night, my friends and I stopped by Battery Spencer for a quick shoot. Last time I was here I was really dissapointed by the shots I took, so this was my chance to make up for it. And boy am I glad I did, because I am very pleased!













Baker and Marshall Beach Sony A900 Test

Sony was kind enough to loan me an A900 pro DSLR to shoot the CES show with this year and I was obliged to get out and shoot with it and get a feel for it. I'm borrowing 24-70mm f/2.8 and 70-200mm f/2.8 lenses... let me tell ya, a full frame 24mp camera can capture alot of detail!! I headed up to SF once again with my buddy Eric (ec808 on flickr) to check out a new location for me, Marshall Beach, which is the closest beach to the Golden Gate Bridge on the west side that you can get. We stopped by Baker Beach first, and I got a chance to test out a panoramic shot with the camera and came away with a very beautiful image.



Next we headed back up to the top of the cliffs above Marshall Beach and found a bunch of old batteries and bunkers... definitely a prime location for future shoots. I got a few shots of the bridge from there, then proceded down the (many) stairs to the beach below.





As you can see, when zoomed in 100% in this image the resolution is large enough to read the street signs!


This will definitely be a location we will be revisiting in the future. Great sand and tons of rocks just at the water's edge will make for some great photography.
