I shot a series of kite photos while waiting for my entry time for the Impressionism exhibit at the nearby de Young Museum. I'm happy we weren't able to get into the show immediately, that the sun was finally shining after many days of rain and gloom, and that there was a breeze.
Still trying to wrap my mind around this new, significantly wider 24mm equivalent lens.
