I started my summer by standing in the Atlantic ocean, and ended it in the Pacific.
While I was almost always using my little pocket camera, pairing the Ricoh GR with the Nikon V1 and its long zoom worked very well. It's almost certainly what I'll use the next time that I'm near a pier.
The Vincent Thomas Bridge is the fourth-longest suspension bridge in California.
Masculinity in the Port of Long Beach.
People sometimes think that I make things up, but the truth is that I'm not that funny.
The slabs in the second and third photos are visible toward the centre of the first photo.

I have about 3200 photos from my week split between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, about half of which are wedding-related, and half are personal. I'm editing the personal ones second, to give the series and singles some time to settle out, so hopefully I'll have some new images here next week-ish.
These Ricoh GR photos have been processed properly, through DxO Optics and Lightroom, while the version in the previous post was done entirely on my little iPad while I was still travelling.
Incidentally, when comparing these photos for sharpness and tone, it's worth knowing two things. One is that the software that I run the GR images through on my Mac costs about as much as an iPad Mini. The other is that the GR is accomplishing this level of detail while resting on a railing next to a busy roadway on a Joby Micro 800 tripod that folds almost flat across the base of the camera when I'm done using it.
