Was itching to go somewhere and have a proper photo shoot day, so I looked up things to do in Carmel and happened upon a place called Point Lobos State Reserve. Saw some cool photos on Flickr, so that's where we went last Saturday. We didn't get too far away from where we parked, but we had an awesome couple hours or so exploring the rock formations and tide pools near the spot we stopped. I think it was somewhere near Weston Beach that we spent all our time. Point Lobos is a huge park, so we barely, barely even scratched the surface of what we could do there. We'll definitely go back again sometime and get there earlier in the day so we can fit more activities in, but I was pretty content with the time we spent there that day. I took a lot of photos of tide pools and other stuff facing away from the ocean. This ocean-view photo is meant to help balance things out. :)

Here's a better view of one of the areas of the shore we explored. I don't know who the guy in the background is; he's just there for scale and a little interest. :)
A view over San Jose and maybe some other surrounding cities from Sierra Rd. Took this pano last December during the lunar eclipse. There was a little "downtime" during the eclipse when I wasn't shooting photos of the moon, so I shot this pano in the meantime.
Didn't really know where to explore today for 'Roid Week, but ended up on Marsh Rd. in Milpitas. I didn't realize until later this evening when I talked to the hubby that this is the road that's (in)famous for being haunted (!!!). Good thing I didn't decide to drive out there at night (I wouldn't go anywhere like that at night while the hubby's out-of-town)! At any rate, this was a great place to get pictures of the mountains and the Calaveras Reservoir (I think that's what this body of water is). Earlier when I was driving down Felter Rd. I was frustrated that I couldn't find a good place to park the truck so I could take pictures of the reservoir, so I was on my way back to Calaveras Rd. when I detoured to Marsh Rd (it's like the stuff of horror flicks, now that I think about it. *shudder*). The place I stopped was actually quite peaceful, and the cows nearby added ambience with their gentle mooing. :) I would go back there again to see how it is at sunset, but not without the hubby!
This is a shot from my first pack of Artistic TZ film. I bought 10 packs when The Impossible Project announced it was their last stock of the Paul Giambarba Edition. I thought there was a lot more ATZ film left so I waited to buy some, and now I've waited too long. *sigh* Same thing happened with the last of the 600 film in retail stores! Oh well, at least I'm shooting ATZ film now, and even though there are lots of defects and the color is very greenish-blue, isn't that what expired Polaroid film is about? Lovely character. This is also my first attempt at manipulating an ATZ shot (or any Pola). I used the PDA stylus tip on one of my favorite multi-pens to draw/scribble in some texture. Pretty rudimentary, but I liked that I was finally able to experiment a little with this technique.

Stopped over there before sunset to take a few Polaroids. Wow, did I miss shooting this film! Wish I had more than the few packs of Artistic TZ that I have left (this is 600 film).
