Rusty, Burnt, Old, Worn and Dirty

I tried out my new 50mm/1.4D Nikkor lens on a few old things that were laying around. I really don't know how to use it yet. I can't seem to get quite the shots that I would like but I'll keep playing around and learning as I go.

Sunny San Diego

I visited a few friends in Southern California and ended up on the most beautiful beach(in my opinion) in San Diego.. and maybe on the west coast. I regret not having my SLR with me, but I got a few pictures and tried to spice them up a bit. The image with the diagonal black border looks as it does because my lens got something spilled on it at a party, I tried to clean it, and it has forever not opened correctly. I tend to start taking pictures before I realize that it is stuck half open. I think of this picture in particular as possibly the view of a sun bathing mother looking out at her kids. The other two pictures are just surfers... nice...
