All right people, hello everyone from Detroit in Michigan
We've been here for a couple days, but we'll talk about this in a different video, today
I wanted to talk about my time in San Francisco.
I was there for a few days and I didn't feel like recording a video
cities don't really inspire me that much. I know I made that one in Portland
But yeah this time I didn't feel like doing it
I'm so sorry about it. But that doesn't mean that I didn't make any images there, quite the opposite actually
Today I wanted to talk about a few that I made in a small town near San Francisco called Pacifica
So my first day in San Francisco, I just drove south
It was very hot. It was like record-breaking hot
I think it was 98 degrees in the city
And that's something that doesn't really happen in June this early in the summer
it was super hot, so I tried to escape the city and go to the coast, closer to the coast
That's why I drove south on California 1, and on my way south I saw to the right
this small town called Pacifica, and the the small pier that they have there, and it looked pretty cool
I went there and it was pretty awesome, but it was not the right time
It was not the right conditions and I decided to wait until the next day
for sunrise
I still tried to make a few images of the waves
a few with slow shutter speeds, it was about 1 second, half a second
They were kind of abstract and some of them might work
I saw how the waves were breaking and the shapes that they were creating
But it is very random. You didn't know what the next wave is gonna do. So, yeah
Anyway, as I was saying I decided to go back there the next day
for sunrise. Sunrise at that time in San Francisco was at 5:45
But I was very lucky because it was a very short, 25-minute drive from where I was staying in San Francisco
I woke up at 4:30 and I had plenty of time to be there before sunrise. I got there at 5:30 and it was beautiful
Everything I was hoping for, and I was finally able to make a few images that I liked of that pier
I do have some footage from that morning
It's not very coherent, I wasn't trying to create a story of that morning
So I don't know how this footage is gonna look now
But yeah
I'm gonna show whatever I have and the images that I made there because it was a
beautiful morning. And I'm gonna show you, this is very rare, but I'm gonna show you one image in color
I didn't make it in color
my camera is always set to black and white
but when I copy the photos over to the
computer they show up in color because it's the raw file and then I have to convert them to black and white
And I think that this is one of those very rare cases where I really love the color version
I'm still gonna keep for my portfolio the black and white because it's more
in my opinion more mysterious
You don't know what time of the day is and the color version kinda gives that away. That is sunrise. It's beautiful though
Yeah, that's about it. I hope you enjoyed the video and the images that I'm gonna show you now
That's all for today. Thank you so much for watching and see you in the next one
