Encinitas is to me
I learned how to surf at moonlight beach. I had a 1970’s 5’9″ Sunset surfboard. This thing was sitting at the back of a friend’s garage; I packed some wax in the most obvious holes and that was that. Me Surfing moonlight probably came to be, because of stories my dad would tell. I think he would say he; “lived 2nd house north of the dip” as a kid. They would ride motorcycles from the beach all over the place. Down the 5 freeway before it was built. Apparently; I think in 1973 it snowed on the beach in Encinitas. It would take 100 ft of scraping to produce a sandy snowball, but a snowball nonetheless.. I wish I still had that surfboard..
Empty Encinitas
Living here so long it’s easy to get caught up in the “its so crowded now”. While this may be true, I am an early riser and have found that to be my best bet at enjoying these streets. With a worldwide pandemic in full effect 2pm on a tuesday has the same look and feel as 6am on a sunday.
Nikon D850 settings
I didn’t have a clear objective with this blog. I gave myself a few parameters to take photos with today. I wanted to utilize my cameras “in camera” crop options. All photos were 1:1 in camera crop. I also wanted to only use my f 1.8, 50mm nikkor.
Taco Tuesday
After getting a few Tacos from Haggos (its taco Tuesday after all). I sat in my jeep waiting for a break in the rain. I’ve tested the Nikon D850’s weather proof claims on numerous occasions. Today I felt like staying dry. Finally there was about a 40 min break in the rain.
