Well Boys and Girls, it's past due time for another California Photo Walk.
It's going to be a three day event. You don't have to come for all three days, but this is how it's looking.

Friday April 20th.
A day trip through Muir Woods. Some examples can be seen here.
We have to get an early start, because the place fills up with tourists and you'll be shooting a 20 minute exposure with welding glass to get the people out of your images if we don't.

Later that day, we will take a walk above the ocean along some cliffs, and old military bunkers.

That evening, we can shoot the Golden Gate Bridge, and try to recreate the shot that Abel took as seen in this thread. Also seen as one of the rotating images on the Portal page of Pixtus.

Saturday April 21st.
We will be venturing about an hour North of San Francisco to sample some of California's finest wines in the Napa Valley. Yes, there are plenty of photographic opportunities there as well.

Here is a random sampling of a few images.
We have a few choices for wineries as well as where to have lunch.
One of the choices is to eat at the winery where the wedding scene for Runaway Bride was filmed. Or there's a wonderful restaurant where I shot the image of the fountain with the bamboo in the background.

Not much goes on in Napa in the evenings. So we will start on our way back to SF, with possibly a stop for dinner at a place called The Dead Fish.

After dinner, we go back to SF, and shoot the wharf at night, where I got this shot.

As well as a trip up to Twin Peaks with views of the whole bay area (on a clear night).

Sunday April 22nd.
Fishermans Wharf in the daytime. Wander up and down the wharf. Taking in and photographing some of the sites. Have some fresh crab, or some clam chowder in a sourdough bowl for lunch.

Staying until Monday? We'll find something else to shoot Sunday evening.

The itinerary may change if I can get these folks to perform for us.




They usually perform for free, and only ask that you share your images with them.

    If I was going to be in CA then I'd be all over this. Alas, I'll be on the opposite coast in FL on business.

Well Boys and Girls, I went to another Fire Dancing event this past week, and spoke to the leader of the group.

She said that she would be happy to put together a few dancers so that we can have a shoot.

So I leave it up to you folks. If you can come, and want to shoot fire, let me know.

Thank you, Ken. I was considering canceling it seeing as there wasn't enough interest.


Edit: I see people are "chatting" about it.

Okay boys and girls. There's a slight modification in the plans.

I recently became employed. No, it's not an April Fools Day joke.

I start work on the 2nd. So the Friday events are going to have to be curtailed.
We can certainly shoot in the evening, but the trip to Muir Woods is going to have to be cut out.
However, I did see you guys talking about flight info in the chat room, and it looks like you were flying in on Friday afternoon anyway. So it looks like it works out in my favor.

Okay folks, unless someone speaks up and says they have airline tickets to show up for the weekend, I'm officially flushing this one.

It's too bad too. It's supposed to be a fantastic weekend as far as the weather goes.
84 on Saturday and 82 on Sunday in my neck of the woods.

I guess I'll just take the boat out instead.

Okay, you can't make it, and Rob said in chat hat he wasn't going to make it, and you were the only maybes.

It's done. We will try it again.

Wish I could go, but this month of April has been full of birthdays and family events. Let me know next moth if there's going to be any of this events again. I'm a noob in photography but I would love to learn from the pros! Thanks a bunch for trying to put together a gathering for some shoots :)
