San Francisco Seal Rock
After photographing the tree-sitters at UC Berkeley, photographer Greg Lato and I met up with Jim Goldstein at the Cliff House for some landscape photography. Jim broke his toe recently so we chose this location to make it easy for him since he lives nearby. This is him shooting pictures with his $8000, Canon 1DS MKIII. Too heavy for my tastes, but the image quality is unbelievable at 21 megapixels.

Seal Rocks is a location that I had been to many times before when I lived in San Francisco. I enjoyed exploring the trails around Lands End in particular. This spot I had never photographed from however, though it is the most obvious spot to shoot from.

It was a fun day of shooting. The three of us went for a late dinner afterwards near the Golden Gate Park and I didn't get to Redwood City until almost midnight. Pretty cool way to start the trip.

Looks like you have a nice Bio pic for JG. Seal rock looks awesome too. So does the location live up to it's name and have seals?
I ask because not every place with "deer" in the name have them anymore :-(
Thanks. You should see the silhouette that Jim got of me. I saw it on his LCD, it is awesome! Would make for a great logo.
I have heard seals barking in the past. Have never seen them though. It is named appropriately I think.
Nice shots! It sounds like you guys had a great time.
I used to visit that area when I was a kid. I grew up in San Jose and my parents took me to SF a couple times a year.
As an adult I don't get down there very often. It's been about 10 years or so since I was last there. I attended a really good photo seminar in Golden Gate Park, led by Nevada Wier and another female photographer whose name I've forgotten. It was awesome!
Looking forward to seeing more photos from your trip!
Looks like a amazing place to shoot Richard, that definitely would make a great bio shot for him as well !!
Thanks guys. Yes Bernie, there are definitely some great seascapes to be found in SF. The wave action is pretty powerful so you could mess with that all day as well.
Wow Sherri. I'm surprised that it has been so long for you, since you don't live all that far away. But then again if you aren't a city person then I can understand. Was the other lady Londie Padelsky or Brenda Tharp? Those are the only two California-based travel / landscape pro photographers that I am aware of.
Richard,
The two women were Nevada Wier and Lisl Dennis. Both of them are actually from New Mexico.
I think they have both been Santa Fe Photographic Workshop Instructors also.
You should go to their sites. They are really good travel photogs!
Sherri
The name sounds familiar. I think Lisl Dennis was a columnist for Outdoor Photographer at one time. Yeah I agree, Nevada Wier is good. I've seen her website.
Not sure how I missed this, but your photos came out great. I do look a bit odd though with my arm out like a wing. Just for the record I was blocking the wind during a long exposure. :)
Thanks Jim. I was wondering about that. I try to block the camera with my body when that happens.
