Local Tourists

Welcome to the Southern California 365 meetup in Huntington Beach. I didn't think I was going to make it, but was able to drop in for an hour.

I met some of my favorite 365 people, some folks that were new to me, and missed a few SoCal 365ers I wish could have been there.

A bit of a hurried group shot with the iPhone 4 on a tripod using the Pro HDR app, then tweaked a bit in Lightroom.

Thanks to Alecio for everyone's name:

[Jaydee]

hello everyone!

[Jaydee]

i like how you process the photo, double exposure?

[Della]

how wonderful!!! This saturday I'm meeting with several 365ers from the Houston area and I'm very excited about it!! :)

[Brad Johnson]

@gavincci Thanks Jaydee. Since the flash on the iPhone is not good and I don't have control of the exposure, I used the Pro HDR app. It takes two exposures, one bright exposure and one dark exposure, then merges them. I happened to catch a couple of ghosts that way, too. :)

[Darren Griffen]

Great shot I love the sense of community this site brings, with 365ers meeting up all over the globe, maybe one day an international meet can be arranged, awesome capture Brad

[cglist]

Nice shot of all of you - a pretty good turn out!

[Denise]

[bernadette mcelligott]

[Constance Brinkley]

How fun. Some day I will make it down to Southern Ca! Great pic.

[KeithDavid]

Dare I say it: Your version came out better then Alecio's (oy vey I hope he doesn't murder me in my sleep for that one)

It was AWEsome to meet you the other day, thanks for everything!!!

[KeithDavid]

.....except I'm pretty sure I am disproportionately disadvantaged in this shot then everyone else, and I'm not liking that... D'Oh!

[Michelle Pippin Johnson]

Yay, such a fun group of 365ers and a fantastic day spent at the beach!!! It was great seeing the group I know and love, and meeting you and the others!

[Heidi]

Wow, I think you've now met, in person, more people than I have followers. ;o) I'm kind of shocked there are so many close enough together that you can meet up. Only in LA, I guess.
