The "calm" before the storm

[kb6yaf]

Here are my first posts on this part of the forum. These images were taken with my Canon 20D and a 24-105mm "L" IS lens. The tripod I use is a Manfrotto/Bogen with a manfrotto swivel head.

These images were taken last week before our 3 powerful storms moved into Northern California.

The lighthouse picture is Point Cabrillo, CA., just south of Ft. Bragg. You have to take a short 1/2 mile hike to get there. It is worth it, believe me!
This lighthouse picture was taken at 1/125 @ f4.0 with an ISO of 1600.

The second picture is of the Pudding Creek tressle on the north side of Fort Bragg, CA. taken at 1/800 @ f5.6 with an ISO of 100.

Enjoy!

I like the colours in the sky of the lighthouse ... thanks for sharing.

This is the morning after the storm went through the So Cal area. Took it with a big lense from the top of Palos Verdes looking at down town LA. I like the way it compresses the basin.

Cool Picture. I have a very good friend that lives in Palos Verdes. What an awesome view!! It's not too often you see LA that clear.
