Been traveling to Southern California with my best friend for a couple of years now. She lives there and I’m from Arizona. I’m not a professional photographer but I like to shoot often, and some of these are actually from my phone. I have a love for the color that SoCal has to offer. It's amazing. Share if you like.

    Oceanside has come a loooong way. I moved there in 1999 and it was just young Marines and cheap car dealerships. Fun fact, the last scene from the movie Bring it On was filmed here right next to this pier 😊

    I use a Google Pixel 3. (Pixel 6 is current model) Take alot of pictures. Use the filters in Google Photo App. But dont overuse, lots of people do this. Enhance slightly only the good pics. Thats why you take alot and then choose the best one. Do not try to save a bad picture with alot of editing or cropping. Use a little tripod, or hold your camera bery still in low light settings like this photo. Use angles, to highlight architecture. It will create depth. And the most important to me is.... use the "Rule of thirds" to compose your picture. https://www.slrlounge.com/glossary/rule-of-thirds-definition/#:~:text=Description%3A%20In%20photography%2C%20the%20rule,one%20of%20the%20lines%20itself. Thanks!

    Rich, you truly have an eye for great photos. Considering that some of these were taken with your cell phone makes if even more impressive.
