Photo 365 - Day 84 (Boat Race)
Day 84 (September 26th, 2010)
Title: Boat Race
I saw these boats just skimming along the water and I really loved the colors (is also turned out that the trees were sporting some nice colors as well, so double bonus!). I'm not sure what kind of boats these are (I'm sure there is some cool nautical term for them, rather than - Small one-manned sail boat), but watching I was reminded of kids who build "wooden block racers" and spent so much time painting and customizing them before racing them (for what turned about to be like 30 seconds). I'm picturing these guys doing the same thing: spending weekend tuning and tweaking the boats, getting the sail just right, finding the best widget to use, so in the end they can race for perhaps an hour. Then, go home and start again.
It kinda exemplifies the quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Life is a journey, not a destination" (or perhaps finish line, in this case).
Enjoy!

Photo 365 - Day 64 (Sailing)
Day 64 (September 6th, 2010)
Title: Sailing
This Labor Day weekend was jam-packed with beach fun in Santa Cruz. One of the things I love about a perfect summer day is all the sailboats! There were an armada of sailboats out playing on the sea, from large 6-8 crewmen boats to little 2-man boats, but everyone was having a good time. The water was really calm and the weather was perfect (78-82) for sailing. So perfect in fact, I avoided even getting near a boat and just hung out at the beach taking pictures of them! I figured, the last thing I'd want on a perfect day would seasickness and throwing-up all over the dolphins.
[Squeak] [Squeak] - That's dolphin for "Thank you!"
Enjoy!

Photo 365 - Day 63 (Last Days of Summer Slack)
Day 63 (September 5th, 2010)
Title: Last Days of Summer Slack
We were in Santa Cruz for this Memorial Day weekend and it was a nice chance of pace from the "hustle and bustle" of the city. The weather was perfect and so was the company. We went and hung out a the beach for a bit, watched the boats and generally got some good End of The Summer slacking in!
I got this particular photo with my 28-135 lens (f/14 at 1/400th). I really liked the clear blue sky, all the boats (there are tons of them - just look at the horizon!), and the folks just relaxing. There were also dolphins playing in the water, but I was unable to shoot them (they are fast and too small to get with this lens). I thought about cropping the left side a bit, to remove that other group of people (as well as that one sailboat), but then I kind of isolated the main group as well as removing a nice anchor-point of the photo.
Enjoy!
