One thing that I learned from my 365 project was that I really enjoyed trying to make painterly photos. One way to do this was to use a long exposure and motion. I get quite a bit of satisfaction out of creating something that some people do in post all in camera.

Davenport beach
I met up with over 50 other photographers last Saturday to celebrate the one year anniversary of Google+ by going out on a photowalk. We met at this little blip on the map north of Santa Cruz and ventured down on the beach for part of the day and then down into Santa Cruz for dinner and some street photography. Big Sur has the most beautiful coast views but between Santa Cruz and San Francisco runs a very close second.

Big Basin Redwood SP
Someone called the shot "crunchy"...not sure what they meant. This was on a gaming forum in a photography thread...where for some reason my shots are the only ones that get any kind of negative critiques.
Is the shot good? bad? I have no clue anymore...

Big Basin Redwood State Park
Camping amongst the California Redwoods got me an opportunity to work on my black and white skills.

Cross Shadow
To celebrate my wife graduating from college we drove down through Carmel Valley and stopped at the Soledad Mission, which is this small mission out in the middle of nowhere that was restored in the 1950's. It was a beautiful little spot to stop and have a picnic lunch and wander the little chapel and museum. I was drawn to the shadows being cast in the chapel. #blackandwhitephotography #photography #shadows
