So I spent the last few days in La Jolla California, working on a new Photographer’s Guide. I hope to share it with you next week. I have always wanted to visit the cove in Spring, the beauty of flowers, ocean, and wildlife keeps your eyes and imagination exploring. Hiking unknown remote trails along costal cliffs is a great way to recharge your soul. There is nothing subtle about it. Sitting on a bench, feeling the sea breeze grace your face as you are warmed by the sun, you notice the happiness build inside you. This is one of the places I found that was full of this quiet happiness.
Thanks for all your comments yesterday about the Ansel Adams image! If you are interested in my thoughts about it, you can read them here.
Photographer’s Note: I intentionally used a shallower depth of field. I believe I shot the image around f4. My intent was to make your eye dance around the image, looking for bits of beauty and hopefully find the same joy I was able to.
Very nice image Justin. Looking forward to your guide on La Jolla. It reminds me how long it has been since I have been in San Diego (probably over 15 years – an eternity).
Hey Justin… I was looking forward to these and I’m not disappointed. Beautiful scene with the flowers scattered across the foreground. Really like the colors.
Gorgeous shot Justin! Love the selective focus!
Love the wildflowers! I can’t wait for them to arrive here. Looking forward to the guide.
I have a place like that just north of their called Crystal Cove. never fails, the drive back I always feels so good. Wonderful shot man!
Justin – to make a calendar I just use a photoshop brush with the month and add it is as a layer in photoshop. I got the monthly brushes as a set here:
