    We were told the basics of action photography including knowing the way surfers ride waves so we could follow them. The various challenges were great and trying for portrait and angles were great. I learned about my equipment, in a gray morning I need to overexposed to get a good photo (positive exposure compensation) more than I thought and he helped me on that.

Lessons from the instructor were vey clear and tailored to each individual?s skill level. Will definitely be doing this again the future.

    It was a new experience for me. I took me out of my comfort zone. Maybe because I was expected to spend more time on portrait photography of a model or ourselves, not reaching out to strangers :-) I still want to learn how I can do good portrait photography such as what positions would be great for pictures, so that if I have people asking me to take their pictures I have more knowledge on how to make it a great shot.

    I call this one "You light up my life" My niece and nephew were about to have their first child and asked me if I would take a few pregnancy photos. As a final location I suggested some sunset photos at the beach. I have always loved silhouette shots and as we were setting up for this one, I was lucky to have the perfect southern California clear night sunset. It was a girl and now 8 years later lights up a room with a smile as large as the sun.

    With a rainy winter, spring in Southern California is the time where we get wildflowers, and not just in the desert! This is a photo from downtown Encinitas, where we have a few beautiful patches of flowers.I liked the combination of flowers and palm trees. Taken with Fujifilm X-T5 and Tamron 18-300, a great lens for photo walks. In my opinion :-)

    Title or Location: Oceanside, California (my backyard)
    Red Tailed Hawks frequent the three tall pines in my backyard. I've been getting good shots of them just sitting, but take-offs are a challenge. This time I steadied myself against my deck and waited. This hawk was facing west, into late afternoon sun, and I knew it would also take off into the wind. I was lucky to have the perfect angle for lighting and take off. As soon as it began ruffling its feather, I started firing away and got this image.

    I naively drove to Borrego Springs on a Friday morning to get some shots of the flower bloom in the desert, Got there before 8am and there were already a bunch of photographers in the fields. This guy with a red jacket caught my eye, and I thought it would be a good warmup shot. It ended up being one of my favorite shots of the day. Fujifilm X-T5 and XF 16-80.

    I heard there was a flock of Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) at Howbridge Cemetery Atherton. Being a cemetery setting respect and care was taken using long lens from footpath. This bird is extremely photogenic and looks like a painting, the feathers are so fine the photos of them appear to be over edited but all I do is maybe crop and lightning.I always shoot in Raw info here Canon 7D 400mm f5.6 1/250, ISO500

    I setup bird feeders at home including a hummingbird feeder. They are super active and are use to me being close to them so I grabbed my Canon R5 with my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens and placed myself within 8 feet from the feeder rendering great closeup shots while they feed and the late afternoon sun gives this Rufous hummingbird that beautiful glow
