For one reason or another, before I was married I had never taken the 4 hr drive up north to visit Hearst Castle. Since we getting married almost four years ago, we've now visited the castle 4 times. Why? Well, quite simply, it's breathtaking overthere! We usually do only one tour at a time, I believe we need one more to finish them all. Yet, everytime we finish our tour and start heading back home, we start discussing when we might come back. Why? Because it makes us happy :)

Ok, needless to say, I've neglected our poor blog this year :( Dina and I have just been so busy with other endeavors since the beginning of the year, that finding the time to blog has been difficult! But I will make the time now! Here's to a fresh start for 2010 blogging......

 

I've had these images prepped for a blogpost for a long long time, but i'm finally actually posting. The Martell wedding was a blast and we decided to try out our new set-up for a "party-booth"....as you'll see in the pics, everyone had a great time and these party-booth pics are a great way to have cool, fun, quirky images of your guests on your special occasion! If anyone is interested in having a funky partybooth like this one at your special occasion, just shoot us an email and let us get to it!

Okay, so here's a couple of images that I took when we were leaving  Playa de los Enamorados in Cabo San Lucas. I used a tilt-shift lens (which i now love) to achieve the "blurry & miniature" look to these images. I had totally forgotten to download this set of images from the memory card so I was very pleasantly surprised when I discovered them recently!

We were looking through some of our images hoping to find some that we could enlarge, frame and hang on our walls. We know we definitely want to use one of these images to blow up HUGE! on canvas.....but we cant decide which one to use! The final canvas (or multiple canvas) will be around 70" x 35", so we want to make sure we order the the right one! Let us know which one you like the most and help us make up our minds!

Sandra Sutton:

Hi guys,
i think you should pick the first one from the top. The water looks very pretty and blue. So pick the first one.

(12.16.09)
Lizzy Hatfield:

Both pictures are beautiful. I personally like the top picture better because you can see more colors in the mountains/rocks (whatver you call it) But like I said I don't think you can go wrong.

(12.16.09)
Sandra G. Charles:

Both are Amazing! I choose the bottom. I really like ALL that is captured...the colors of the (canoes/kayaks?)that are lined up..the umbrellas, the people, The two rocks and the gap between that distinguishes this location. I really like how the water looks on the top one.

(12.16.09)
Sandra G. Charles:

... just want to add that I really like how grand those Rocks look...the people,,tiny specks! AWESOME

(12.16.09)
Nancy:

I vote for the second pic. The peaks meeting in the middle catches the eye more.

(12.16.09)
Berenice N:

so beautiful..cant wait to go back. i loove the 2nd one :)

(12.16.09)

Jackie Silva:

I vote for the 2nd one. Love it.

(12.16.09)
Julie Jules:

I have to agree, i like the second one better

(12.16.09)
violet:

I like the first pic. the clarity of the water is very relaxing and truly takes you into vacation mode. In the second pic the water is a little more blurred and to me theres more of a rock focus

(12.16.09)
Mario Mendoza:

I would say go with the first one. You have more colors. Two set for water; the blue right up front and the green that is seen closer to the beach. The fact that you captured the green plants on the rocks makes them look redder and adds a good crisp contrast between the two. The rocks on the second picture look a little too blurry and kind of bland.

(12.17.09)
Santiago Guerra:

They are both amazing. But the first image seems more proportinal for a large cavan. So when can I have you two on the Opus?

(12.17.09)
fronie:

love the first one!!!

(12.22.09)
Leslie:

Gosh, its been a while. I don't like the second one because my eye is automatically drawn to the open space between the rocks. I feel like I'm not getting the most out of the whole scenery. Both are great, but I would go with the first one.

(01.11.10)
Canberra:

THE MACUIL'S certainly have some great photos. Well done.
