A couple nights ago Michael gave me his Canon 5D. He just purchased a 5D mark ii as a second video camera, and he uses his 1D regularly. So his 5D still camera wasn't in much use anymore. We spent a couple hours at the kitchen table just taking pictures of the ceiling fan while he taught me how to use all the settings.
Then, tonight we decided to go out on a nighttime San Diego photo safari. We started at Mount Soledad. It wasn't as exciting for photography as it is for making-out. I tried to get a good picture of the Mormon temple. Not really that exciting.
Then we went over to Coronado and took pictures of Downtown from across the water. Michael did a really cool time-lapse sequence with his camera. And I just tried to get my exposures correct.
I'm proud to say that I used the camera in manual mode the entire night.
Michael says this is my "money shot".
