Point San Vicente Lighthouse

Took a trip back around Palos Verdes and stopped at the lighthouse. It was a super clear day after rain and wind the day before and it was enough to see the Santa Barbara Channel Islands and San Nicolas island, way out there. From this spot a group of people track whale migration and we were fortunate enough to see some grey whales breach between us and Catalina Island. I’m 

There was a Holi celebration across the street from our boat at the Lagoon. I was actually waiting for this since last year because I wanted to get pictures of it. Got some! I saw a photography documentary series, Tales By Light, essentially a 2-season long Canon commercial, but one photographer was immersed in India for the holi celebrations and although I didn’t even enter the lagoon area I’m happy I got to get a better look at and photograph the activity. There’s hundreds of people covered in color powder who attend over 2 days and it’s a nice reminder of the local diversity and pride in culture. 

Went to a local park in Redondo that I previously never knew existed. We were going a little stir crazy in the boat so turned the opportunity into a picnic and then a little photography as we walked around the park. I was trying to demonstrate stuff with these pictures so I’ll leave them here. Bokeh, aperture, focal length and composition were on the lesson plan.
