Day Up in Flames

(January 5th) Some days are just not meant to be. I headed out to Point Pinos to begin a wonderful morning of photography. The pre-dawn conditions seemed great, but I was able to press the shutter only a few times before the clouds rolled in and the day became a torrential mess of rain. I even tried to go to the Monterrey Aquarium to take photographs, but since they don't allow tripods or flash that was a dead end. Instead I spent the day researching some questions I had about autofocus after working on some movement shots at Carmel Lagoon the previous night.
