…the light near Land’s End San Francisco, that is. Went walking down the coastal trail with Heidi, Chris and Troy on Sunday. I looked to my left as light was pouring through the trees and I started freaking out, grabbing my camera from my bag. Nobody understood the fuss until I placed them in the light’s path and clicked the shutter … showed them the back of my camera.
Light like this is unreal. I never find it in Wisconsin. I wanted to plop an entire wedding in this light and make photos until it went away. Instead, I took snapshot-style photos for 10 seconds. I didn’t care what anyone was doing or how my compositions necessarily looked … I was concentrated on how the outlines of their bodies were glowing … how everyone looked to be traced with a glow-in-the-dark crayon.
Gave my camera to Troy and he snapped this photo of me:

And I switched it up for my SF trip. I used the 5D mkii + 50 1.2L.
Gorgeous! Can you bottle it up and mail it over to me pleeeze? I need me some pretty light these days!
I thought the same exact thing when I shot a wedding in California this year. The light there is like no other. It’s magical.
I simply adore the last two of you and Troy!
GORGEOUS!!!!!!! The light was AMAZING!
this is even more reason for you to move to CA :) for me and for our beautiful light :)))
Is it lame to say that I thought Lands End was just a clothing retailer? Love these photos Anda, all that fun light!
LOL, lynette! i thought the same thing until my friend recommended i check out “lands end” in SF and said there were “amazing views.”
I die.
Seriously.
Amazing.
And PS: You still look 16.
xo
I love all (allllll) of these pictures.
And please tell Troy he should be your second shooter! ;)
