On Friday, I headed down to the Ocean Beach Pier in San Diego to take a few pictures of the large waves. It was high tide when I got there and waves were hitting the bottom of the pier. I shot from the pier for a few minutes before the lifeguards chased everyone off and closed it down.

I ended up getting to try out a GoPro Hero Wide camera, and I’m very impressed with the thing. Check out the video below.

Robin and I just got back from a trip to the Northern California Coast. On the way up, we stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge to walk around for a few minutes.

Here are some more images from the shoot I did with Dimitri Maramenides a little while back. One of these images is the one that landed on the cover of The Kiteboarder Magazine. Dimitri is a wild man and I spent a lot of time ducking and diving underwater so he wouldn’t take me out. All images taken with a Canon 30D and Zenitar Fisheye in an SPL Housing.

This is the original of the cover image:

I was lucky enough to get my first cover on the current issue of The Kiteboarder Magazine, featuring Dimitri Maramenides at the Pismo Beach KiteXpo. This was shot with a Canon 30D and a Zenitar 16mm fisheye in an SPL housing.

Check out a gallery I posted of pictures from the 2009 Pismo Beach KiteXpo held a few weeks ago. The event went great, with tons of kiteboarders showing up to try the latest gear and just plain have a good time.You can find the gallery at http://paullangphotography.com/pismo_09/

If you are there at the right time, the setting sun reflects off all the downtown San Diego buildings and makes the city glow.

A few nights ago, I caught this beautiful full moonrise over Mission Bay in San Diego.

Since Robin and I had found ourselves in Northern California for the Thanksgiving holiday, we decided to take a few days and drive back south on the coast, a drive we had always wanted to do, but had never found the time to do. Read more and see many more photos at the link below.
