Photoshoot with Friends

Hello everyone!  Jackie and I had a great opportunity recently to do some photographs for one of our friends, Dan.  He was a really great model, and I think everyone had a really great time!

  To begin with, we went to SDSU, which has some neat architecture and warm tones.  It also has flags with a suitably epic feel!  Jackie did a great job scouting out places ahead of time, as you can see from some of the pictures that she has put together (See above link!)

With the sun rapidly fading, though, the time was perfect to head to Coronado.  Besides being a really cute a area of San Diego, Coronado has great views of the downtown area across San Diego Bay.  It's just a 10 minute drive or so from downtown to get to a cute little park.





(As a side note, there were lots of  fancy events being photographed there at the same time we were, including wedding photos.  So if someone's looking for a great place to get photos, I'd recommend it as a very interesting location)

The quality of this location is especially true in the late evening, as the sunset casts a warm glow on downtown San Diego





As you can see, it's hard to beat that view, especially considering what month of the year it was (March).  Winter in southern latitudes has more perks than just great weather, though; the nice weather means great lighting earlier in the evening, so you're not trying to get shots at 7, 8, 9 o'clock.

Don't want to get too verbose on this, not really any bigger motive for this other than wanting to share these shots with you, so I think I'll leave you with these final two shots and bid you all good day.
