August Photos

Hi guys,

I'm back for another installment of summer photos. The weather is beautiful here in San Diego, can't get enough of outdoor photography! Here are some of my pics from the month.

Saturday Photoshoot

Started off the month with a crazy photoshoot, all over San Diego! Checked out the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle at NASNI first thing in the morning, and then tooled around downtown San Diego, Santee Lakes, and Kuymeyaay Lake taking shots. Click here to see some of the more interesting ones.

Sunday Photoshoot

Every month, the Photography Photo Meetup has a photo shoot somewhere in San Diego. This month it was at the Birch Aquarium and La Jolla. Afterwards Phil, Frank and I broke off for a trip up to the Salk Institute, UCSD, and the Torrey Pines Gliderport. We ended the day with some strange time exposure experiments back in La Jolla. I'll let you judge for yourself whether we were high: click here.

Sunset Cliffs

Did a short visit to Sunset Cliffs one evening, and got off a couple of shots before I lost the light. Click here for a few of the photos.

Oceanside
Experienced Oceanside for the first time, and had a blast! The sodium lights of the city and the Oceanside pier make for pretty incredible colors bounced against the nighttime clouds. Click here for more pics of Oceanside.

Getty Center

The Getty Center up in Los Angeles has some pretty wild architecture and gardens. I couldn't help it, had to add a splash of color to the white walls.... click here to see for yourself.

Santa Monica Pier

After the Getty Center, we headed south to get some sunset and twilight shots of the Santa Monica Pier. The amusement park attractions made for some interesting shots! Click here to experience Sunday night at the Santa Monica Pier.

Experiments with Corel Painter

Last, and definitely the best (in my honest opinion), I've been experimenting a lot with Corel Painter this month. If you're good, you can convert photos into paintings; it's amazing what you can do with it! Here are a few "paintings" that I've done this month, I'll be curious to hear what you think about them.
