Kelson's Photos @kelsonv@photog.social

Hi, I'm Kelson (he/him), a hobbyist photographer in the Los Angeles area. I tend to shoot #cityscapes, #landscapes & #nature, and occasionally cosplay. Lately I've been taking a lot of nature photos for #iNaturalist and posting some of the better ones here & on Flickr (https://flickr.com/kelsonv).

I also have a general account on Wandering Shop (@KelsonV) & more casual photos on Pixelfed (@KelsonV).

It turns out having a wide angle lens on your phone is really helpful for catching sun halos!

Heerman's gull. They're not as common here as western gulls, but I do see them occasionally. This one didn't feel like trying to fly in the wind, which was blowing other seagulls sideways. And in some cases backward.

I found it kind of amusing that the wind was constant enough to keep this sign almost horizontal the entire time.

Waves breaking over the end of a jetty across the way.

Fun fact: I discovered that if the wind is strong enough, it can blow a camera neck strap up and completely off of your head.

Not so fun fact: It was also blowing the tethered lens cap on directly into my face.
