Hello, my name is Wayne Lawton and I'm an amateur photographer.
I enjoy taking photos of just about anything that catches my eye, textures, shadows, angles, etc.
I really enjoy hiking around the San Francisco Bay Area and tend to drag my camera along on these excursions.
Most of these photos were taken with a Canon Rebel XTI
although there are also a few shots from various point and shoot cameras that I own.
Feel free to comment or offer advice, (Or criticism, I can take it),
and with any luck, as this blog progresses, so will my photo taking abilities.

Fort Point, Garin Park & The American River...

Hello again everyone.
I've been on a couple of photography outings since I last wrote.
The Bay Area Photography & Exploration Society Meetup group
I belong to decided on Fort Point as a venue.
Lots of beautiful architecture to play around with,
with arches being the predominant feature.

Here is one of my fellow photographers back lit in one of the aforementioned arches.

On the way up from Fort Point, I stopped and took some shots of the Golden Gate Bridge.
I like the 1950's feel of this photo.

A couple of blocks from home, I caught sight of these cactus flowers.
It's a rare day that they are in bloom.
The sky behind them definitely lent a little something extra to these shots.

These next shots were taken out at Garin Park in the Hayward hills.
They have a lot of antique farm equipment displayed around the grounds.

This next shot is my favorite photo from that session.

This shot was taken on a hike at the Hayward Shoreline.

Here are a couple of shots of my kid at one of his skate sessions.
I have an inexpensive Tokina screw on .22 Fisheye Lens that I used on these.

These last shots were taken while on a bike ride up along the American River in Sacramento.

This last shot was taken with my little Pentax Optio camera mid spin.

Well, that's all for this post.
See you again soon.
