Nice Lunch Break

I got to sit on the beach again this week but it was for a quick lunch break today. I was at Oceano Dunes state park at the place just before the cars can drive on. It was a hazy day and I grabbed my camera with my wide angle lens already on hoping to get some nice shots of the beach. I didn't have my polarizing filter on this time (doesn't fit on my wide-angle lens anyway.) Here are a couple of my shots from the beach.

Polarizing filter

I was at Avila Beach today for a walk (it was idyllic!) and I put a circular polarizer filter on my lens since it was so bright out. Well, the photos didn't turn out like I had hoped. I guess I need to do a little research on the proper way to use it. When I got home I took a shot outside my front door and the photo wasn't bad at all.
