end to the summer…

really. it’s 7:10pm and it’s already dark outside. when did that happen? i used to love the dark and now it’s a bit annoying. it’s kinda difficult to shoot “natural light” portraits with out the second half of that phrase (especially when you have a day job).  however, there is nothing like that low lying fall sunlight. it’s amazing!!!!

i was walking around the bay area of los angeles today testing out a tilt shift lens that i rented. (darn it, i want one.) it’s so much easier to use then the lensbaby (my poor man’s rendition of a tilt/shift).  however, it is a bit of a specialty lens that would probably not pay itself off (yet) for me.  i think i’ll keep it for the week and have some fun.

i did find this little area today that i’ve been curious about, but never ventured past the pay for parking. great colors, textures and of course water (my favorite). now i just needs some peeps to photograph here.

don’t you wish golden sunlight wasn’t during rush hour traffic, the 5 (or 6) o’clock whistle?

a little montage of my afternoon walk today:

Blair Van Bussel - This location is BEAUTIFUL! I will surely model for you ;)

Scott Andrew Shoemake - Ahhhh! I love this montage! It so makes me want to go on a surf vacation to like Cayucos or somewhere! Rad!

Michael Campbell - Hey Jen, I love this collage of images. The colors are so vibrant and punchy! Great shots!! -Mike

brenda - oh these are so cool looking and i really love the baby photo of the baby crawling away in your other post. i know what you mean about the light–having a day job means no light for almost 5 days til the weekend finally comes! i have been really wanting to rent a tilt-shift lens. does it seem hard to use it?

Rob - Awesome shots of SoCal! Make me miss it a bit.

brenda - i went and rented a tilt shift lens, now i have to give it back tomorrow afternoon before 6pm. i have had so much fun with it, i really really want to get one eventually……i’m curious about lensbabies. i guess a lensbaby would be a lot cheaper and they look like fun too.

chatti + Matt - i was just saying the same thing! dark already!

Lydia - Okay, these are really making me miss summer!
