No I did not overexpose the shot. Well I did but it was intentional. Continue reading

Palm Trees and the Beach
NEX-5 (16mm, f/8, 1/500 sec, ISO200)
Finally we have made it back to the coast. We started at Carpinteria thanks to a lovely french lady from the tourist info. It needs a French person to get some insider tips in California. Carpinteria is less busy than Santa Barbara and has a very nice campsite on the beach. Continue reading
Broken Windshield and Cheap Hotel
NEX-5 (18mm, f/7.1, 1/250 sec, ISO200)

Leaving Las Vegas
NEX-5 (18mm, f/7.1, 1/320 sec, ISO200)
After 24h it was time to move on. We came here at lunch time and we left the next day. It was nice to see it but it somehow reminds me on the Märchenwald in Germany I have seen as a kid. I was amazed when I was there as a kid but disappointed when I visited the place again as an adult. To me it seems Las Vegas is just the same.
There are two things I will miss though: the kingsize bed and the bathroom.
