for a class i had to go to the Machine Gun Pits in the Marin Headlands, overlooking the Bay. I don't EVER shoot landscapes or macro or nature, EVER, but this trip was an eye opening, refreshing experience. it was nice to get out of the city, to a new environment, and to really see things differently. there was no hair or makeup to do, no skin to retouch or light perfectly. there was a beautiful haze of fog so the light was perfect and angelic. most of these shots i wasn't even looking through the view finder. i'd hold the camera low to the base/ground the details were on and hope that my 100-300mm lens would magically focus on the right spot ... (and it did, tip: gotta give you equipment a little love). whether or not these images will be used remains to be seen, but for now, it was the perfect little get away.
