Under the Fountain at the Carmel Mission
It's one thing to stand back and photograph a lovely fountain. It's another to come up with a new way to see a fountain. My way, for my past couple of visits to the mission, has meant trying to create a compelling image by looking up at the underside of the mission's fountains.

Kens Lesson
An oak tree high in the Lucia Mountains served as our subject as Ken Rockwell explained how to create the star effect with small f/stops.

, Fishermans Wharf, Monterey
A few of our group wandered over Fisherman's Wharf, and found some steps that led down to a lower level that gave us a close look at the underside of the pier.

Great reflection :0 |
Carml River
We journeyed high into the Santa Lucia Mountains, and made our way to the little community of Cachagua, near the headwaters of the Carmel River. We ate lunch and explored the colorful reflections we found in water. As I do with lots of my photographs of reflections, I didn't bother to show the "real" scene above the reflection.

At the Carmel Mission
The march of pillars lead us into the photograph; their thickness, and the arranged greenery, denotes a sense of serene security.

Fence, Spreckels, California
The row of fence tops lead the viewer into the picture, and the dark background makes the fence itself stand out.

Mail Boxes, Spreckels, California
The vintage mail boxes, with their combination locks, caught my eye. They made a line that pulled me into the scene.

Books at the Steinbeck Center
Using diagonal lines - repeating lines (a patter) are even better - can help draw us into a photograph.

The Gesture
Ken Rockwell, in his excellent presentation on our first evening together, discussed the concept of "gesture" in photographs. I think this photograph demonstrates that concept, with it's offset flowerpot and the rightward lean of the faded, silk flower.

Headstone, Garden of Memories Cemetery, Salinas
I made a tight crop and chose to convert the color image black and white.

Sea Anemone Tentacles
On our last, gray morning, our group explored the headlands at Pacific Grove. I spent most of my time bent over a sea anemone with my little point and shoot camera, which sports a surprisingly excellent macro capability. I managed to keep out most of the reflection of the sky by standing directly over my subject (a polarizing filter would have done the same thing).

Jelly Fish
With the help a relatively large f/stop (and the hindrance of a relatively slow useable ISO, which is inherent with all digicams), I was able to freeze the motion of the jellyfish at the Monterey Aquarium.
