{California Trip 2013 | Big Sur, Palm Springs, CA Area | Personal}

The beginning of June I got to go visit a friend {Katherine of www.katherinealison.com } in California for a week, and we packed everything possible into that week, including navigating both LA and San Fran traffic, 25+ hours in the car, road tripping up the coast, four days of camping, picture taking, a day at beach, hiking a mountain, the Palm Springs tram way, an afternoon in San Francisco, and topping it off with shooting a wedding the day before I flew out. It was crazy fun! Our travels together are always pretty great, and we end up exhausted but with a lot of good memories and full memory cards ;)

Happy Saturday, ya'll!

  1. Looks like a great trip best expressed by some great photos!

    P.S. For the waterfall pics did use an ND filter or just a really small aperture?

    1. Thanks Chris! I didn't have a filter with me so I used the smallest aperture I could and it was even a little overexposed so I had to do some post processing.
