Congrats on having a baby! My wife is expecting in May and I wanted to be the one to do her maternity shoot. I’m still learning the ropes and have been shooting on and off for about a year. I live in the east bay (Walnut Creek) and was wondering if you had any suggestions on good places to do this type of shoot?

Nice man! Congrats on the baby as well. What's funny is I think realistically my wife and I would have to move out towards Walnut Creek / Pleasant Hill in the long run. Watch our kids go to high school together or something.
The only place I know of in Walnut Creek is the rose garden. I shot my cousin's engagement photos there. Cool little spot but can be challenging at times with the amount of people and what not around. I also heard people shoot in Mt Diablo too. It will just sort of be a park looking photoshoot but I think that sort of thing is in anyways. Overall, it's your subject matter that is more of the focal point. I am sure you can shoot your wife in a grocery store and make it look pretty cool and unique.
Here is a link to my photos at the Rose Garden. There are some photos where I shot my cousin on a hill and that was just in his backyard in Walnut Creek as well: https://www.fongstarr.com/blog/2018/4/30/bd-engagement-photoshoot
Saw this photoshoot in Mt Diablo Park area. Seems like a perfect place to shoot at sundown: http://christymccarter.com/mayra-arron-engagement-photos-mount-diablo-clayton-california/

Bro I dont know how you made that rose garden look nice because the last time I went there (maybe last year or the year before?) it wasn't looking as nice as in those pics. She does want to take photos in a rose garden somewhere and we were looking at Filoli but that's a bit of a drive.
There's small parks I've checked out in Concord that weren't too bad but I don't think she liked the scenery. I need to figure out something soon, I just need to do a little more research.
Thanks for the input!

@marmourjr what lens you using for those iceland pics minus the drone shots?

Random pics I had on my phone.
Figure it wouldn't hurt to ask but does anyone want to buy this?
Mavic Pro Fly More Combo. I've had it for about 7 months and have flown it less than 15 times. Always working so I don't have time to enjoy it like I would have wanted. I can throw in an ipad mini 4 that I purchased last year to use with it but i've mainly used my phone instead. If you don't know about drones I just want to let you know this hasnt a toy. Willing let to everything go for 1300 obo. I always have the DJI extended warranty good til December in case you crash and need a replacement.
-I still haven't figured out how to use the polar filters smh

Not for nothing my dude, I dont see anyone buying it for 1300 even if the iPad mini is included.
Fly more combos can be had for about 700 bucks and I know you have a few extra components but no way they amount to that price.
Unless is a Mavic Pro 2

I agree with you. People tend to low ball ridiculous numbers. I was actually talking to a dji rep at the store today and felt anything less than 1k was robbery. I'm not in a rush to sell tbh.

Took some pics at my son's baseball game and am currently working on a quote for presenting an offer to do his school's athletic teams' photos and man this is HARD lol
Coming up with a price list and product list is not an easy feat

That's currently the plan. Been looking at price list online and it's certainly be easier to just switch things up from a different one. Looking at some small accessories and stuff to offer in addition to the pictures

Got this bad boy lense today. This thing is massive
Thinking about selling my 16-35 f4 to get the gm version. Not sure if it’s worth it.

^^^^^Nice! I am actually doing one of those helicopter things this weekend and wanted to rent a 24-70mm but chose to just stick with my 15-30mm and just get a ton of wide angle shots. Still, I sort of want a 24-70mm in my stable.

is flickr still the best way to go to post photos in here, or are there alternative methods to upload within the thread?

A couple from today. I am actually going up on a helicopter tomorrow and shooting SF so I should be posting a lot of those shots in the next couple of days.

Pretty surreal for me personally being a huge soccer fan and seeing Howard play live. Appreciate any support with a follow here. Cheers.

Anyone shoot RAW with their cell phone?
Tried yesterday and found post-processing difficult on Snapseed.
I just stuck with jpeg

Don't know if it's because I'm in my city... but had too much fun shooting these.

did you have a YouTube at one point, or am I mistaken? Anyways, does anyone have someone they watch on YT that you'd recommend. Just trying learn the basics and get some tips in regards to shooting/editing.
