Tide Pool

Yes there is sea water down there and I am photographing through the water.

Sawdust Hot Glass

Getting a good photo of the glass makers at the Sawdust Festival is difficult. Light is bad at anytime of the day or night. You either shoot through thick clear plastic or the wire barrier you see in this photo. In the past I would focus on the glass maker but this time I focused on the wire barrier.

I may try the same photo again but focus on the glass maker. We will see.

Suzie Starbuck

This is an experiment. Here at the beach it has been overcast like this for too many days. So while down at the beach today I was trying to come up with something a little different. Enter Suzie Starbuck.

Has anyone else noticed that if you want to be on one of the big sites you need a gimmick. So Suzie Starbuck it just one on the ideas I was fooling around with down at Main Beach, Laguna Beach, Ca.

Problem One: I need the cup in focus. For some it doesn't matter but for me it will always matter. Do I need to keep the cup level with the horizon?

Problem Two. Do I want Suzie Starbuck coming in from all sides of the frame or just the bottom? Worth trying.

Problem Three: Need to determine the smallest f-stop for complete sharpness. Along with that I need to determine what focal length I want to use and use that focal length for all Suzie Starbuck images.

More on Suzie Starbuck in the future or am I wasting useless time?
