So I’ve decided to take Irwin’s advice and create a wordpress account to start blogging about my new hobby.  Facebook isn’t always to best outlet for pictures so I figured this would be a great way for people to see my pictures and my progress as I gain more experience behind the camera.  

A few weeks ago Chris and I went to check out San Francisco’s Presidio because I figured that it would be a great place to practice with my new camera.

 

Golden Gate Bridge

 Sure the Golden Gate bridge is the most cliche picture you can take in the city but why not?  

My wife, the model

These were taken with my 18-55mm kit lens.  As you can tell the DOF isn’t the greatest considering these were taken wide open but I think the pics still came out alright.

Starfish

While we were walking around the presidio we walked onto a pier where some people were fishing.  A gentleman who was crabbing happened to pull in this starfish right as we walked by so I snapped a picture.

Mist

As we were walking back to shore on the pier I saw this and knew it would make a great pic. 

 

 I know I’m new at this and I’m probably breaking every rule to post processing but thats the point of this blog, to see my progression as an amateur photographer.  Thats it for now, any feedback would be appreciated.
