San Francisco/Napa Photographer – Fresh Sugar – Ashley McNamara Photography

I had the most amazing weekend making new friends and traveling around Napa for wine tastings.

I admit that I am not a lover of wine. . . Don’t get me wrong, I would love to love wine because what’s more grown up than ordering a Cabernet Sauvignon at dinner?  I would love to love it but I just can’t get past the taste. That said, the experience of it all was awesome, I learned a lot and I drank so much wine that it might be growing on me a little. The reason I was in Napa was to visit my good friend Brandy of Fresh Sugar Photography and she was in town for a NAPCP event and I was lucky enough to be able to tag along for some of their social events AKA wine tasting. Besides partying and drinking I did a shoot for Brandy and her husband Dave and I think it was the most fun shooting ever. Brandy, I hope I did you justice and I miss your face already.

IPhone Photography – Whoda thunk it? – Ashley McNamara

The iPhone is the most awesome phone ever! Who ever says it isn’t is lying!icon smile IPhone Photography   Whoda thunk it?   Ashley McNamara

It literally does do everything. I have to tell you though, I wasn’t really digging the camera but who cares its a phone. I had a couple of photo apps that I would play around with but I wasn’t really impressed with the results but like I said, it’s a phone so I wasn’t expecting miracles or anything.

Well, two weeks ago my friend, Amy Boring was in town and I thought it would be fun to hang out in San Francisco. She had been taking pictures with this super cool iPhone app and of course I asked what it was, she tells me, “shake it photo” so I download it and start playing… it’s blowing my mind. Love it, love it, love it.

I brought my 5D Mark II to the city for some shots but the poor thing never left the bag because that app is addicting! Since then, I have taken no less than 300 photos, it’s quickly becoming a problem.. if you have me as a facebook friend you already know this and are thoroughly sick of seeing all of my mobile uploads. For those of you who are not sick of me… Here are some of my favorites.

Side note: there is this cool contest going by Adorama for iPhone photo’s if you’re as addicted as I am check it out.
