Another shot from a day out with my buddy Dan Shehan in SF, this was taken at the Palace of Fine Arts. It was CROWDED! I rarely go into the city on a weekend since I don’t have to and wow, lots of people. I think we saw three or four different wedding groups there all taking pictures around the famous structure. One of the brides was in hot pink which stood out to me and looked very pretty in the lighting.
I’m really enjoying my new full frame camera and new lens! It makes processing all the more fun! 🙂 The high res image can be here: Here Comes the Bride.

Excellent image, totally different from anything I’ve seen of this location.
December 29, 2014 at 11:27 am
Yay thank you! I always hope to be different. 🙂

Lovely photo — inviting, like a painting.
December 29, 2014 at 12:00 pm
Thank you, I’m glad you see it as inviting. 🙂

Beautiful shot… Of the place I used to drink at in high school. Ha! It is a beautiful picture truly.
December 29, 2014 at 12:00 pm
hahahah…Oh those were the days! Thank you Very Bangled.
December 29, 2014 at 12:36 pm
It looks like a fairy tale picture. Beautifully captured!
December 29, 2014 at 12:44 pm
Thank you 🙂 I’m glad you see it that way.
December 29, 2014 at 12:39 pm
Gorgeous. I love the angle.
December 29, 2014 at 12:45 pm
Glad you like it, thank you atimetoshare. 🙂

Brilliant. Wonderful.

Thanks much tommy 🙂

How did you get the circular look to this image, Laura? Is this a fish eye, wide angle, or did you do this in editing? Absolutely fascinating image, one that just pulled me right in. Love, Amy
December 29, 2014 at 4:00 pm
Well….the 14-24mm is the awesome new lens I got for xmas. It’s the one I took the previous image with, that arch. It’s a very wide angle and it can look distorted at times depending on the angle I’m shooting. I kind of like this distortion for this type of image so I worked with it lol. I’m SO glad you like it Amy. I know heavily processed images aren’t for everyone, but I really enjoy making them!

I really did enjoy this one, Laura. I have a 17-55mm lens, and I know sometimes there is a slight distortion when I use the 17mm. Thank you for answering my questions. ((HUGS))) Amy
December 30, 2014 at 8:09 am
I’m glad you liked it Amy 🙂 That’s actually the lens I wanted for xmas for my D7100 (crop sensor) but hubby didn’t know there was a difference, so he bought me the 14-24mm. It started the ball rolling and then i went and bought the full frame camera. haha.
December 30, 2014 at 12:40 pm
Tee hee …. I played Santa myself, Laura, buying me my Samsung. LOL Yes I would love a full frame DSLR camera. When the time is right, I will have one. I would also love a desktop Mac. Yup. That retina screen has got me good and spoiled. You have no idea the extent I go to right now to get my photos looking as they have been. I got it down though so it is a smooth transition. I am working with both windows and iPad. LOL …. The best of both worlds …. (((HUGS))) Amy
December 30, 2014 at 1:08 pm
Good for you! Have fun with that new Samsung! I’ve been spending my afternoon trying to figure out color space management between LR, PS and printing at different labs. Ugh, not what I want to do but it must be done. Prints come out looking weird sometimes if things aren’t all in sync. Not that I know *anything* right now…just enough to get more confused haha. Have a good rest of the day! 🙂
December 31, 2014 at 8:30 am
Good luck, Laura. I’ve been told if everything is set to sRGB that the colors will be coordinated. Don’t listen to me though, because I am just a wee kid in a big store not really knowing which way to go. Happy New Year, my friend. Love, Amy
December 31, 2014 at 8:35 am
Same here really…it never ends…the more I know, the less I know! 😀
December 31, 2014 at 12:24 pm
Tee hee …. Now I don’t feel so bad. Sorry to be laughing, but that is exactly how I feel too. LOL (((HUGS)))
December 29, 2014 at 3:37 pm
Grand view
December 29, 2014 at 4:00 pm
Thank you! It felt surreal.
December 29, 2014 at 4:34 pm
Stunning Laura. I love this.
December 29, 2014 at 5:30 pm
Thank you so much Edith!
December 29, 2014 at 5:00 pm
I like your new lens too. 🙂 Gorgeous job on these.
December 29, 2014 at 5:32 pm
Thank you! I’m kind of hooked. 🙂
December 29, 2014 at 7:07 pm
It looks as though it is a still from a Tim Burton movie. Alice in Wonderland perhaps?
December 29, 2014 at 7:14 pm
Perhaps! I do like a good fairy tale. 🙂
December 29, 2014 at 8:10 pm
Oh I love this Laura. Your photography is going into another dimension now! Wow …
December 30, 2014 at 1:09 pm
Thank you so much! I’m hoping it does. 🙂 One can try anyway!
December 29, 2014 at 8:48 pm
Based on this and the last post I’d say that your new camera and lens are bringing out the best in you. Really nice photos.
December 30, 2014 at 1:09 pm
Thank you so much David. I’m loving the new camera and lens. Hoping to improve as I go along. Happy New Year (almost).
December 30, 2014 at 11:09 am
I love this….all those distorted angles and what a great sky
December 30, 2014 at 11:52 am
Thank you Mark! I’m glad you like it. 🙂 I was happy to see that poofy pink dressed girl there.
December 31, 2014 at 10:43 am
So very nicely done, Laura. I love the ambiance. It would make a great novel cover for a mystery called: The Lady in Pink.
Blessings for 2015 ~ Wendy ❀

I’m so glad you see the image this way. Thank you!
December 31, 2014 at 10:47 am
You’re welcome. A plot started forming in my mind–but I’ve already got writing projects I’m working on. 😉
December 31, 2014 at 11:18 am
lol
January 1, 2015 at 12:09 pm
A hidden wedding photographer you were. 🙂
January 1, 2015 at 5:07 pm
Perish the thought! LOL
