Jus-A-CMax Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) Jus thought I would share some pictures taken whilst I am travelling around the "northern" part of SoCal. There are some spectacular and picturesque scenery as you will all agree. I've also thrown up some "oddity" pictures for your amusement. Candy for the eyes and some :) thrown in for free... This is Simi Valley taken from Box Canyon. As some older posters would know, I highly recommend Box Canyon as a run to take your CMax - its a fun, tight curvy all EV trip down... Ventura Beach. I do some beach houses there, some spectacular places and ocean scenery, worth a bit of money... More Ventura Beach... Yes, thats a quad level house on Las Flores Canyon, Malibu....looks like a castle from the distance. It really looks odd when you travel up this Canyon Rd....but hey, you're looking at a multi million house there. Malibu Beach, along the Pacific Coast Highway aka PCH. Spectacular beach scenery, wildly expensive real estate.... Malibu, PCH on left... Edited March 30, 2013 by Jus-A-CMax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted March 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 (edited) I found this lil beauty on the road one day....it's a custom matt black paint Smart Car. Sometimes I ask myself why bother...wouldn't a skateboard be better?[/url] Taken in Camarillo off one of the farmlands...it was spectacular!!!! View of the San Fernando valley, taken from Encino Hills....how would you like to wake up to a view like this every morning? Thats it for now...more to come later...enjoy :) Edited March 30, 2013 by Jus-A-CMax JAZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 You sure know how to jump-start my Saturday morning Jus! Thanks! Love PCH! That's where we do most of our driving, anywhere from Santa Barbara to Redondo. Much better than the freeways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelnLa Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 It's better than looking at google maps. It's like I have been there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VirginiaRick Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 "48.4"!!! :drool: Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Maxgo Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 "48.4"!!! :drool:Yea I was surprised too! It could be a little less because we traveled either 35 or 50 miles after taking down the mileage. I went with 50 miles because that stuck in my mind but we'll go with the averages after a few more fill ups. :drop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 This is not something you would see too often...but I spotted this on the PCH one morning... Yes, that is a VERY, VERY expensive BRAND NEW Bentley (u can tell by the dealer plate) with a wind surfer strapped to the top. One would think this person could afford a SUV to carry his toy...but oh no....had to strap it to his Bentley convertible. By the way, this is another custom as well - note the matt black finish.

Jus-A-CMax Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 For those who are not SoCal... Took this a few days ago when CHP totally shut down the 118 freeway due to 2 fatalities at 3:30 AM (at that time one could speculate alcohol or lack of sleep but the former is probably true) and diverted everyone down to the 405 south. I snapped this as I was coming down the 118 overpass ramp down to the 405...then the picture struck me...I do love the flow of the bridge and all and the traffic building up...pity I could not enjoy it as I stewed in the car...total chaos that morning... :nonono: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jus-A-CMax Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Someone wanted a pic of my Maxine in the shot...so here it is....valley in the distance is Simi. This is the Getty Villa, from the Pacific Coast Highway aka PCH. Funny enough I have never been there but I heard it is FABULOUS and INCREDIBLE. Gotta get a reservation to go there as its very limited parking - so don't forget if u intend to visit Los Angeles. Do Pigs fly? Especially the Pink Ones with glowing eyes.....they do exists!!!!! Box Canyon Special. [ Accident I saw today...2 cars collided and ran up the corner. I didn't see the actual collision but came probably about a 5 mins later....dang, its dangerous. Burbank, this afternoon as I was heading to Costco Burbank to fill up my Maxine running on fumes...literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jus-A-CMax Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) This was taken on our last trip to Mammoth. Sadly the snow is going brown so its the last one where we lug our skis and snowboard - but - back to the photo. I noticed this as I was on the 395. I knew there was a storm over Lone Pine and we were still short of it and this spectacular sunset came into being....oh, for the locals, this was about 10 miles north of Fossil exit. This photo remind me of the scene out of the 10 Commandments with Charlton Heston when he's a shepard and he looks up and theres fire and dark cloud on Mount Sinai where the Almight resides...heys this is real life. This was taken when we were at Mammoth, casually walking back after celebrating at the Chart House...I luved the skies and the crescent moon. No snow though but it reminded me of a Kondakova painting... This is for those who have not been to Mammoth before. That's good ole Woolly and thats the Yodler Bar & Restaurant. In the peak of winter, this would have been all snow white... Enjoy :) Edit for Kondakova.

salsaguy Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 nice pix. do you mind telling us your gear. looks like dslr quality. i am a hobby photographer so i like to know what others use to get their shots. based on the sky it looks like you are using a polarizer on the lens, or doing some nice edits afterwards. i shoot with a Canon 60D right now and 2 zooms and 2 prime lenses. keep it up.

No polarizer. The only editing I do is to resize to 1600 res and adjust the levels in photochop. The sky is as is. The nightshot was done using the S100 night mode, takes 5 quicks shots and gels 'em together. Its really good for these low light - brilliant mode from Canon.

salsaguy Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) nice job for a point and shoot.Im trying to decide which to get to replace my dead Canon 800IS. I heard many of the new canon ps had lens error issues.I have a G12 and the 60D but need a point and shoot for pocketableness ;)looking at the S110 but heard many didnt like the flush buttons for the 4 way rockerthe 24mm at the wide end is a must as it really makes a dramatic difference in the pix.
