Queen Mary

In all the years growing up in the Los Angeles area, San Gabriel Valley to be exact, I never had the opportunity to visit the Queen Mary.

Taking advantage of a day trip to Santa Ana for our son's all day water polo workout, Alia and I drove to Long Beach for a quick self-guided tour of the Queen herself.

Of course, to Alia's dismay, this meant an opportunity for me to get in some photo practice!

 Working on depth of field.

 White balance and the challege of keeping the background from getting "blown out".

 Depth of field.




 Depth of field and playing with saturation.

 Using a hand-held flash.

 Alia is blocking the sun as I "hit" her with the flash.

My favorite of the day.

Thank you, Alia, for having so much patience for your Mami' and for being my model, again.
