Photographing California
The year 2018 was mostly about photographing the west coast states. Here's a review of what I captured.
Landscapes in the West Coast States
In the year 2018, I had a blast photographing. In the first few months, I mainly photographed in the San Francisco Bay Area, including the beautiful coast of Big Sur. In the middle of the year, I took a break from photography, and then got back to it again in Autumn. In the latter part of the year, I visited Oregon and Washington area. In this post, I thought I will do a review of what I shot in California and Oregon. I will do a separate post for showcasing photos from Washington.
When I look back at my pictures from 2018, I feel pretty satisfied. Everything that I artistically do has something to do with invoking positive emotions in the viewers. I have chosen to do it with big vistas and vibrant colors in my photos. I feel like I have been able to achive that reasonably in the pictures that I took in 2018. And above all, as I said earlier, I had a great time persuing this passion.
In 2018, I mainly photographed in the San Francisco Bay Area, Southern Cal, Mt. Hood, and the Olympic Peninsula near Seatle. Map of western United States derived from Wikimedia Commons image by Shereth. Licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported.
