Whale watching at Point Vicente
Every year at this time, California gray whales migrate down the coast of California to Baja and their breeding grounds. The other day I read that there were a record number of sightings, so Tanya and I took a drive up to the Point Vicente Interpretive Center in Rancho Palos Verdes to see if we could photograph some as they swam by. I managed to get a couple of shots, but as the sun was setting the glare on the water made it a little difficult to spot them and get the shot before they went under water again.
It was a nice sunset though, so even if I did not get the precise shot I was hoping for, it was a pretty sunset and that made for some nice photo opportunities. Read more…

After spending some time with my son, I decided to head back up to Pt Vicente to try and get some pictures of migrating whales. As soon as I picked my spot to photograph from, a couple guys that were already there proceeded to tell me about a couple dolphins that had been playing around in the cove beneath us. They showed me the pictures of the dolphins spinning in air, and basically acting like they were performing at Sea World or something. Naturally, once I got there, the show ended. I did manage to get a few water spouts from passing whales, and you will be able to see their backs. I will keep trying.

My First Test Shots
My new Sigma zoom super wide angle 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC OS (Optical Stabilizer) lens for my Canon Rebel Digital EOS arrived today. Within five minutes of arrival it was on the camera and I started shooting anything within eyesight. Here are a few sample pictures. I think I will keep it. Geek Good Girl and I headed back out to Point Vicente because she is planning on ordering one over the weekend. Had to let her play with it for a little while.
