San Diego Photo Ops
The San Diego area offers some simply amazing opportunities for avid photographers. There’s so many you’ve probably neglected at least one or two. Here are some of our favorite locations.
If you’re into ocean, beaches, and sunsets not many spots beat Sunset Cliffs at Ocean Beach. Scripps Pier offers interesting perspectives, as well as aquatic wildlife. There’s also Ho Chi Minh Trail and nearby WindanSea Beach.
For architecture shots, the Salk Institute is one of the most interesting around. The Geisel Library at UC San Diego as well as the Santa Fe Train Depot are also popular. For the San Diego city skyline check out Coronado’s Centennial park and Point Loma Harbor.
Love ships? Don’t forget the San Diego Maritime Museum as well as the lesser-known Crosby Street Park.
For nature photography there’s the Balboa Park Botanical Garden as well as the Carlsbad Ranch Flower Fields. For broader vistas check out Broken Hill in the Torry Pines State Reserve, and Marian Bear Park.

Photography Classes
We love sharing our photographic knowledge, and offer photography lessons for beginners and enthusiasts. They include classes specific to digital as well as film cameras, starting with the basics such as manual exposure but going well beyond camera instructions.
Read from happy customers.
“I forgot my light stands when I came to Carlsbad for portraits. I was recommended to head over to this camera shop. Low and behold, they had to light stands that I purchased. Saved me from embarrassment. The guy there was very cordial and nice.”
“I went in to get my Canon 70 D checked out to see if I need my sensor cleaned. I didn’t get the guy’s name but he was really helpful. He told me everything looked ok. He went as far as blowing out any dust. Great customer service. I’ll be a return customer soon.”
“Went there to have a picture enlarged and printed. Pretty easy, e-mail the picture to them and they did the rest. Done in a few days, the pictures were beautiful and the cost little. Definitely will return.”
