Re: IMG: Nathan's PAW 12: just life snippets


Thanks Steve...  :-)
It's fun taking happysnaps with the 5D. The only lens I have is the kit lens, the 24-105/4L IS USM. But it is a joy to use and since the 5d is full frame, the 24mm end of the lens is truly wide angle. The two film photos included in the set were on Fujichrome Velvia 50 and with my thirty five year old Rollei SL66 and a Zeiss 40/4 FLE Distagon (tree) and 80/2.8 Planar (Nacimiento creek).

I love your work Nathan... And you are a lucky man, living where you do, lots of photo opportunities abound. From my house, I look south onto National Semiconductor, north to Advanced Micro Devices, East to Intel, and West to eBay! I live dead center Silly Cone Valley. Ugh!
BUT!!! Every other Friday, Bob Adler and I head for coastal California. I took a few digisnaps (happysnaps) of our last trip (March 14 08). These trips are 'FILM' trips but I sometimes record snippets of it with my 5D. We left my house (Sunnyvale CA) at 6:30am and stopped just outside King City, for a pit stop, at 8am. Then headed into the CA costal range to Fort Hunter Liggett, which is a very active 165,000 acre Army training center. Tanks and stuff. http://ludb.clui.org/ex/i/CA3122/ This trip we took two other photographers with us, Eddie Clark and Ruth Berggren. First stop was San Antonio Mission, which is on the Hunter Liggett grounds. http://missions.bgmm.com/sananton.htm Then on to the vast oak tree filled fields of Hunter Liggett, followed by lunch and a few hours photographing Nacimiento creek - a gorgeous creek. Continuing west on Nacimiento road, it ends on Highway 1 along the CA coast. We got there at sunset. From there, it's a 2-1/2 hour drive back to Sunnyvale. Then Ruth had another 1-1/2 hour drive, to home, in Napa CA. Long day. But fun, and Bob and I are repeating part of this trip next Friday, Mar 28 (oak fields and Nacimiento creek), then back into the Salinas valley looking for wildflowers.
Here's a Lightroom web slide show of our last trip. The slides are captioned above the little controls at the screen bottom.
