Morning On Main Beach

This photo was taken back in August 28, 2007. I had purchased a digital camera 10 days prior. This is a JPG straight out of the camera. Because the camera did such a good job of converting RAW files to JPGs it took me a couple more years before I started shooting in RAW exclusively.

I was shooting pictures of Laguna Beach previously with a 35MM film camera but for some reason never posted them. Even stranger, I first set up this blog in 2005 but only posted 10 or 12 times before the age of the digital camera. Once I started shooting digital I posted at least one photo everyday for years. Only the crash of a laptop and the flu in 2014 prevented me from posting. That comes to 5423 posts. I have no idea how many photos but it's at least the same number.
