    Quick stop at Ft. Tejon

    Hey folks!

    Sorry I haven't posted in a while, just been real busy.

    I was traveling down the I-5 today with my daughter, Adrienne, and we decided to make a brief stop at Ft. Tejon to snap a few pics. Wish I had more time but we had to get back on the road.

    The little kid is part of the regular crew of folks who dress up and play the part of 1800's soldiers and their families. If you're ever driving by this part of southern California, be sure to stop by. It's worth the few minutes off your schedule.

    All these were shot with the XTi and 50mm, between f/1.8 and 2.8

    Nice images, Shrackman. I especially like the first of Sword in hand. the old Orange coat really adds to the shot as well.

    The little guy (B&W) sure looks like he would be a handful.

    Thanks everyone. Yeah, I really like that sword picture too. And yes, Dave, that kid was a handful. He didn't want us to leave.

    Hey Aaron, just how the heck did you get to nearly 3000 posts in such a short time???? LOL

    Ray,

    I really like the sword shot - well I like them all but that sword, jacket, and trousers. Very good composition and lovely colours.

    I agree the sword shot is very special, but those of your daughter are sure keepers too. Nice to hear form you Ray.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
