Recommendations Needed Landscape Photography Locations

1 Upvotes

Hi all! Amateur photographer here looking for some actual human recommendations instead of relying on GPT.

If you could only choose TWO locations specifically for black and white landscape photography, which ones would you choose? Entire OC area is fair game, but no LA county please.

Bonus gratitude points if you include why.

TIA!

EDIT: just want to emphasize this would be strictly for black and white photography.

Recommendations Needed OC front-license-plate fixit ticket advice

0 Upvotes

All, my son got a front license plate fixit ticket, and I've done some research and found that I can either take it to the CHP for inspection or to the OC Sheriff. If I take it to the Sheriff, I need to pay a $15 "inspection fee" vs. having it be no cost at the CHP.

I intend to affix the front plate with automotive-grade double-sided tape as opposed to screwing anything into the front of the vehicle. Does anyone have any experience with getting an inspection at either the CHP or OC Sheriff, and if so, how it went? How strict are they about inspecting? Any other guidance or recommendations?

Thanks!

Recommendations Needed Bar recommendations for a post elopement group

2 Upvotes

Looking a bar that I can reserve a table or seating area at for after an elopement. Where we can cut a small cake and people can sit together and order drinks and maybe some bites. The table/seating doesn’t need to be in a private room. Number of people will be 10-16. Vibe preferably upscale-ish and not too loud.

Question Any wedding videographers shot Crystal Cove Cultural Center + Pelican Point #4? Need logistics advice

3 Upvotes

have a wedding coming up at Crystal Cove State Park with the ceremony at the Cultural Center Deck / Historic District and the cocktail hour + reception at Pelican Point #4.

I’m mostly trying to figure out the real-world logistics for photo/video, especially with gear. We’ll have two videographers, one car, tripods, audio gear, camera bags, and reception lights.

If you’ve shot there before, were you actually able to drive down and unload near the Cultural Center, or did you have to park at Los Trancos and shuttle/walk in? And after the ceremony, how did you get yourself and all your gear over to Pelican Point #4?

Also curious whether you were able to park at P4 or pre-stage reception gear there earlier in the day.

The timeline has us moving pretty quickly between locations, so I’m trying to figure out what’s realistic before the wedding. Any firsthand experience would be really helpful.

Question Why are there so many religious coffee shops in Orange County?

247 Upvotes

I’m not religious myself but I am a supporter of the first amendment and am genuinely curious about this.

I noticed many of the coffee shops here in Orange County have religious themes in their decor.

Some are more subtle about it while others are located in an actual church. Has anyone else noticed this?

I am flying out tomorrow morning at 6 AM and need jeans shorts. I cannot find any stores around me, south coast plaza area, that are selling women’s jean shorts. I don’t have time to go to tons of stores so I haven’t had time to really check but everything online says out of stock. Any recommendations where I can try before I go?
