Baja Galleries for those New to Baja

EMAM - 12-8-2008 at 03:44 PM

After spending two full months roaming around Baja last winter, we collected enough photos to put together a few books.

I've finally got around to editing all the images and put them in a few different Galleries. For most of you that have lived and visited the peninsula already, many of these sights are old hat.

But I wish I would have been able to look through a few galleries like this before we headed down for our first time to know what to expect.

This is a seperate Gallery for the 3 Mission's we Visited

I know we came home with a long list of items we need for our next visit....One that should probably be a little longer than the two months we spent last time.

If anyone is coming down and has questions about photography, I'm no expert, but I'd be happy to answer any questions from our experience.

Feel free to contact us or PM us.

Enjoy

that owl picture qualifies, in my book, as one of the best i've seen in a long time!!!:wow:

Pat,

Your Baja galleries are great---great travel photo essay not just for people new to Baja, but for everyone----it is always, IMHO, great to see and hear the perspective of new and old visitors to Baja. And, I love that every picture has the shooting information. (Move mouse over the pictures to the right and bingo, link to shooting information)

However, we spotted John in one of those pictures and he said he wants pay for being an extra in the photo. :lol::lol:

All of the pictures are great. Could make lots of positive comments---but I really like the way you photographed the front of the Mission at San Ignacio---a different perspective from most.

Looking forward to your return to Bahia Asuncion.

Diane and John

Thanks for the comments Diane

Tell John I've been fighting off the press wanting the rights to that picture:spingrin: When I sell it, I'll be sure to Pay him in Modelo's

On the back of that Calendar, Cindys picture is the one of the Humpback Whale breeching out of the water. The calendar is very professionally put together, very big and looks awesome on the wall!!

Thanks for the comments on the Owl Woody

Wow, lovely photos kids...the owlett gets my vote too for best pic and it brought tears to my eyes remembering Martillo checking himself out in your mirror. Look forward to seeing you again in the hood.

EMAM - 12-11-2008 at 06:51 PM

Shari, I was just showing that photo to a friend the other day laughing about how it sat looking at itself in the truck mirror for so long:lol:


This is Martello, and while we sat at Shari's house for about an hour, he sat looking at himself in the mirror the entire time!

He was probably thinking "These goofy gringo's have one good looking horse in their truck"
