2016 California Vacation
Photography road trip: San Francisco, Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks, and West Coast Highway #1
My vacation arose on somewhat short notice when I realized how much PTO time I needed to use or lose before year end. With just under a month to plan I jumped onto the NPS (National Park Service) websites to research Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks. I upgraded my AAA memership to take advantage of premier services. And, I purchased my airline tickets and car rental. I would fly into San Francisco, pick up the rental car, do a little city sight-seeing, get overnight accommodations outside of town, and the next day begin my road trip in earnest. The plan was to spend most of my time exploring Yosemite, get acquainted with Sequoia, and enjoy part of the West Coast on my way back up to San Francisco to fly home.

My primary camera for the trip was my Canon 60D, but I also made good use of my iPhone 6 Plus camera. Surprisingly, the iPhone also gave me a number of very satisfying images.
