A beautiful day in California


 I found this photo whilst searching through my Lightroom library for another photo. It was taken in May 2016 in a small town, Point Reyes Station, on the coast road north of San Francisco.

We had flown to the US for a short trip taking advantage of a very good deal on flights across the Pacific.  I most definitely would not be taking advantage of such an offer today which is a pity as there so much about the US that we appreciated and, indeed, enjoyed.

We hired a car in LA and over a few days drove up the coast road to San Francisco where we stayed in Sausolito which we really liked. It was on day trip from there that we came upon Point Reyes Station one beautiful Saturday morning.

A market was in full swing when I came across this local character.  The photograph was taken with my little 12mp Leica X1 and it is a stunner. The sharpness and color rendition is so good it could easily be passed off as having been taken with a late model Leica with a current, mega costly lens. See previous story.

Leica X1 photo 1/400th sec at f5.6 ISO 100.
