Shoreline, Mountain View CA

One find Sunday afternoon hubby and I went to visit this place again. This is a man made lake. Though this will contradict the concept of this blog. But what makes it incline to nature is the very nice sunset and the birds that are surrounding the area.

We have visited this place several times in the past. But every time we went here it was cold, foggy and chilly. We had not spent the time to maximize the place and enjoy the day. So that day on sunday, though it was bright and sunny it is still chilly. I had set up my tripod and camera hoping to get a good picture. I tried so many times, but the glare of the sun reflected on the camera. And the output of the picture was not good. I used 3 different lens and different filters to avoid the glare and no matter how hard I tried the hope of getting the best one with me on the background was a failure. Hubby was there with me for a few minutes but with him getting chilly he went back to the car. I took a shot while he was there to be a model for that shoot but the pictures turned out not great. I deleted most of them.

I was seriously hoping to make the most of my time there though I was also felt cold. It was a failure that I didn't get the picture that I want. There were only 2 photos of that trip that was good. I will post it later.

Incline Village, Lake Tahoe

I went there with hubby February of 2009. I haven't got the chance to write something about it maybe because I wasn't really looking into the pictures that I took and missed the opportunity of writing the story behind it. Now I have come to that realization, it is better to put it into writing.

This is the place where the rich lives. You can see big and grand houses here. It is one among the places that I have seen but this is one among them. It is amazing to see it myself. While driving to this village, there's a spot for picnic and beach outing. We stopped there and I got these beautiful photos. The sun that time was perfect. It was a little bright on the other hand. My photos turned out okay but many of it got too overexposed. Not aware the settings of the camera and photography itself, my hopes of a good photo didn't turn out the way I planned it. But that's what they say, through your mistakes you can learn something which that time I did.

Anyway, it is very relaxing to be in this place. So relaxing to see. The lake is magnificent and the mountain view superb. I just love nature itself.

Big Sur Experience

I had a friday off that day September the 11th. Hubby told me that we will be on the road to go sight seeing. There's not much to see around here that we got interested of since most of our ideal places we already went.

So we droved passed by Monterey and along the way to Big Sur this is the famous spot and historical. I took pictures of this scenic landscape. It was a little foggy that day but this one is my best shot.

Big Sur is ideal for a big fan of camping. So many camp grounds in the area. It is a very relaxing place to unwind and enjoy nature.
