Bodega Bay and Beyond

Over the weekend Jen and I participated in a photography class/workshop in and around Bodega Bay. On Friday afternoon we drove up to Bodega Bay and set-up our campsite. We then headed into town and had dinner at the Sandpiper Restaurant. I highly recommend the restaurant to anyone... reasonable prices, large portions, a campground for the next night so Satund great taste! We got back to the campsite and after sitting around the campfire for a little while, headed to bed. Almost as soon as we got in the tent it started to pour... and continued to do so for the rest of the night. We had to move to anotherrday morning we had to pack-up the tent, soaking wet. It rained a little on Saturday morning but the afternoon and the next day were beautiful. We drove through Occidental and stopped at Duncan's Mills for lunch. Then we headed to Salt Point State Park to photograph the landscape, sunset, and camp for the night. I got some beautiful shots of the area. The sunset, unfortunately, didn't turn-out to be very impressive but not everything can be perfect. Sunday morning we met-up at Fort Ross. Had the cloud cover been a little more interesting, there could have been some drop-dead gorgeous landscape shots as the wildflowers were in bloom. Instead, I focused on shooting the interiors of the buildings... the natural lighting was beautiful and the placement of historic pieces led to some interesting pictures.
