This week's blog posts will be devoted to my time here on the West Coat at the Light Photographic Workshops - formerly the Lepp Institute. As usual, I'll give a photo tip for each post.

The workshop begins in a few hours. The drive along the coast yesterday from San Fran to Los Osos was wonderful. Here's are two shots that I took with my G10.

Today's tip: Never leave home without a polarizing filter. In addition to darkening a blue sky and reducing reflections on water, it can also make your pictures look sharper – by reducing reflections on atmospheric haze.

Explore the Light,
