Hiking

Went hiking in the Berkeley Hills and at Mt. Tamalpais (two separate occasions). The first three photos are from Berkeley. The others were shot at Mt. Tamalpais with my rented Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8. I feel like you need a separate set of eyes when using a wide angled lens. I'm used to shooting with my 30mm f/1.8 which is pretty much the same as what my eyes see. A wide angled lens obviously sees more than my God-given-eyes. I need to get one soon so I could get better shooting wide. Manually focusing makes it harder also. Enjoy.

Happy 1yr9mo 12.03.11

The boy and I have been officially together for 1yr9mo. A year of that time we've been apart; me in socal and him in norcal. So we rarely got the opportunity to dress up and go out on a nice date. I just wanted to put out that disclaimer so you guys don't think we're a high school couple who have big celebrations each month. Honestly, we always forget each month's mark. But it's nice to get all dressed up and go out to a nice restaurant.

Prior to that we went to Bridges Rock Gym to go bouldering! So much fun and a great workout! Then we headed to SF to eat at Skool.

I also rented a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens from borrowlenses.com. Had lunch with the boy on Friday and when I was leaving his work parking lot, I saw BorrowLenses. So I stopped by and rented the lens.  I def want to save up for a wide angle lens. The only problem with this one is that it doesn't autofucus on my entry-level Nikon. So all these photos are manual focused. Gotta save up for a new camera too. hehe. I want the Nikon d7000.

SF + Super Duper 11.05.11

I'm super bad at uploading photos. EEEEk! Sorry. Here are some shots from around the city. Went to check out Jeremy's. I was expecting a lot more but the boy and I both walked away with nothing. Then we headed to Twin Peaks for a foggy view of the city :) Then the boy took me to a REALLY GOOD burger place called SuperDuper. The graphics reminded me of ShakeShack in NYC but I looked it up and they're not related. On another day we went to ThreadShow which was at the Metreon. They had a nice balcony view. Yerba Buena Gardens were right there so we walked around there as well. SF has so many things to see :)
