So I figured I'd start my thread here in the photography forum. I'm leaving in the morning for San Francisco from San Diego driving up the 101 to the Hwy 1. Its going to be a photo trip the whole way as my navigator is a photog friend. In SF we're going to hit up the California Academy of Sciences and Steinhart Aquarium. I'll be taking lots and lots of pics so join up if you'd like to join along. I'll be doing iphone updates on the drive up :)
 
So I get this email from Jessica, who knew how to do that from her iPhone, but couldn't seem to figure out how to log onto RC. nOOb!

Here's a teaser shot. Just got in and uploaded my pics to the computer. No time to edit really tonight so I just thought I'd show you the one I liked.
 
cool shot Jessy..
Im looking forward to more.

oh and ignore that Melev guy... hes just some king Troll in these parts. :D
 
So yesterday was really cool. Went to Cal academy of sciences and had a great time. I'm planning on doing a whole article write up on that so I'll keep the comments here brief. It is one of the most amazing aquariums I've been to... BUT the livestock is just not there yet. Its poor. The fish are healthy but the corals are horrible. The tanks themselves have the potential to be the best I've ever seen...they just need to work on it for a few years.

The rainforest was really really fun. Lots of neat butterflies to shoot. Unfortunately the planetarium was sold out when we got there :( so I didn't get to go in there...huge bummer for me.

We stumbled on some great spots to shoot the golden gate. So here are a few I actually had the time to edit.

Welcome to the bay area! I look forward to seeing your pics.
Thanks! I'm going to have to come back and do it again...I can already tell
 
Nice pictures. For some reason, it just seems natural to take pictures of the Golden Gate bridge.
 
I'm guessing you didn't go up the hill to shoot the bridge? it's on the opposite side of the tourist spot you took that picture of the view thingy where you put money in (binocular thing). you would've loved it on that side, cuss you actually get to look down on the city and the bridge.
very nice pictures, I'm in sf often but always love seeing pictures of the bridge cuss seems like every time someone takes a picture of it, it looks different.
 
I have got so many pics to share it is absolutely ridiculous. But I know I promised you pics along the way and haven't really been able to comply with that so I hurried up and did a snap shot gallery of the California Academy of Sciences for ya'll. I really wanted to do a write up... but that will have to come later. Maybe I'll do it for Reefkeeping Magazine for all those that would like to see what this place is like.

Thanks guys. Yeah they have lots of little "easter eggs" in that place. I'm sure I didn't get them all.
