On Sunday, we took a few little hikes around Marin County and enjoyed another gorgeous day. We had a whole beach to ourselves and enjoyed a nice lunch in the sun – perched up on our own little rock. I can’t get over how much there is to see with an hour of San Francisco – whether you go to the south or the north, the coastline is just breathtaking.

Now that I have returned to Chicago after a week in San Francisco, it does me no good to compare the two January climates. I’m shivering just thinking about it. This past Saturday, the weather was great. We decided to head down to Baker Beach for some sun. There was a lot of action on the beach – fishermen, tons of dogs and lots of tourists. I brought along my camera and was armed with one lens. The fishermen were catching crabs at a pace of about one an hour, so there wasn’t much to document there.
The most interesting activity on the beach was definitely the wakeboard surfers. As it is, I don’t own the right gear for shooting surfers out at sea, and I definitely don’t have the right gear when I only bring my 24-70mm lens. Luckily, these surfers were making runs at the waves as they approached the shore, so I was able to get up very close to them as they’d take their 1-2 second ride on the wave. I wasn’t popping a flash or anything fancy. I was just snapping photos as these guys were going about their surfing. I was pretty happy with the shots I was able to get, and it definitely gets me excited for Costa Rica in a few weeks. I’m thinking I should be armed with some better gear for that adventure, and I may be able to improve on these shots.
