August 10: The California Coast

Del Mar, CA

This shot is taken from atop Torrey Pines State Park; Herb’s usual stomping grounds. I’m posting it because I’m working on color settings after calibrating my monitor.

The far bridge on the upper right has been identified as the most “dangerous” in the County in the wake of the Minneapolis tragedy. The view looks north toward the “town” of Del Mar. The power plant in the far distance (left) is in Carlsbad which is about 15 miles up the road.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
1/640s f/14.0 at 70.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Just looked this up on Google Earth too - often fun to get a different perspective and make out I'm a local!

Hi Robin, I moved to Sacramento and miss San Diego. Such great photo opportunities down there. Nothing real inspiring to shoot here. I guess I just have to look harder......

I just ordered a calibration kit. Hasn't arrived yet. Are you happy with it?
