Downtown: Fullerton Part 2

Please visit Part 1 if you haven't seen it yet.

I got some very nice comments from Part 1 that I would like to expand on a bit. I'm a frequent reader of photo expert Ken Rockwell. After reading and rereading some of his tutorials he kind of helped me into a few realizations that I'm thinking about expanding n later on this week or early next week.

I am a huge fan of saturated colors. I think it brings out the 3-D in a picture and it makes the image look less dull. I wish the sky and flowers came out on my camera how they are when I see them. But then again, there are times when I'm looking at the sky and I only see white and when I go to edit them, I add a slight vignette to the image and the blue just slaps me right in the face. Are the colors too saturated, or do you think that adds to the image? Maybe when I talk more about it I will put up some comparisons that I have from my last few shoots.

Now for some shameless and free plugging for a company I love.

Fairly soon, one of our local breweries, here in Orange County, Bootleggers Brewery, will be opening up their brand new tasting room in Fullerton. I walked past it the other night and it looks Amazing!! Its fairly ironic where they are located because they are right across the street from the police station. Whenever you plan on getting out here to So Cal or the next time you hit up Disneyland, you should look em up. There website is http://www.bootleggersbrewery.com/. Its good stuff yo!!

Here is the map for this set

Here is part 2 of this weeks set of pictures from Downtown Fullerton.

I like your graffiti shot. Maybe consider a street art set to post? Something where you can really show off color saturation maybe? I have a soft spot for good street art and you live in a prime place to scope some good stuff out. Looking forward to seeing your next set.

Dang, i dont have to pay you royalties on these awesome ideas you're giving me, right? Maybe i should check out doing some street art. I need to get outta my comfort zone. My next set is from Huntington Central Park, but I think i will be looking for some nice graffiti this weekend. Venice is ringing some bells here.

Thanks!! ^_^
Glad I can get the creative juices flowing. Your style is cool and I love the Los Angeles area. Since you are down there I figured I would pitch in my two cents :p

I haven't skated Venice since they added the skatepark. I remember when it was just a ledge and a sweet manual pad.
You're a skater, eh? I had to stop because I'm too big of a wimp. my wheels would hit a rock and I would go for some superman lessons.

It looks like it will be a nice hour and a half bus ride down there, so it should prolly be fun. Thanks again.
Haven't been to Fullerton in years; it definitely looks like nowhere I've ever been in your photos...

I had a bunch of pictures I got rid of that probably looked like the Fullerton you remember. Very odd, it seems, How you can make a place look completely different in photos than what the place actually looks like. Unfortunately, most of the shops had big trees in front so I couldn't shoot down the main 2-3 blocks or so.

Thanks for the compliments Joker
