Santa Barbara (2011-10-31)

Mini vacation to Santa Barbara for relaxing, wine tasting, and more

  • Sammi and I went for a walk along the wharf and we found this sea-gull waiting for us. I decided to play with my brand new Nikon D700 (ok, I bought it slightly used, but it was new for me) and took this photo.

    Sammi and I went for a walk along the wharf and we found this sea-gull waiting for us. I decided to play with my brand new Nikon D700 (ok, I bought it slightly used, but it was new for me) and took this photo.

  • On our way back from the wharf we noticed this Pelican was standing perfectly still as if it had planned on modeling for me the entire time. It sat there for a long time while all the tourists, obviously including myself, snapped away. It actually let me get pretty close without being bothered. The D700 was able to get some great detail in the Pelican feathers and I liked how the boat is seen driving away here -- adding another line. The one thing I did notice about the D700 though, is that the 70mm end of my 24-70mm lens is no longer "zoomy" enough for some things. I wanted to be able to zoom in even more when I took this photo (since I didn't want to get too close to the Pelican). This is a crop of the original framing.

  • I liked from this angle you could see the color of hte sunset and the marina in the background. I had to do some heavy post-processing to get the exposure right (the sky was blown out and the pelican was good, or the pelican was dark and the sky was good. This is just one exposure and I pulled up the darks (which is why it was a bit noisy) and then used Nik's DFine plugin to remove some of the noise. Why is there noise at ISO 400 on a D700 you ask? Well, it's cuz it was so underexposed any photo will have noise when you pull it up that far!

  • On saturday our first stop was to go to Ganna Walska's "Lotusland", which is a collection of something like 30 themed gardens of exotic plants that she collected over her lifetime. The gardens are just gorgeous and we actually had a really fun 2 hour tour!
