San Francisco I

Today was a beautiful day. After meeting my former roommates for brunch, I hopped on my bike and rode to Baker Beach. Despite the many times that I've been to Baker Beach since arriving in San Francisco, I have never taken my camera with me. I took both cameras with me today: the 35mm and the digital. Below are a few pictures taken with my digital camera. I quickly realized that digital cameras, well at least my digital camera, aren't very useful in very sunny conditions. Given the lack of a viewfinder on my model, it's almost impossible to see what you're about to shoot when intense sunlight is bouncing off of the display screen. Therefore, most of my shots from today were taken with my 35mm, which I'll try to get developed later this week. One upside to the digital, however, is that I can turn color pictures into black & white, which is what I've done here:



Golden Gate Bridge I B&W-- this is the very first picture of the GG Bridge that I've ever taken.
