There was a lot going on in Metro Atlanta as usual, but here’s what we ended up doing: the monthly car show in Tucker, Pho Restaurant for lunch, and Arabia Mountain in the evening.\u00a0 It was a fun full day for sure.<\/p>\n

Gear Used: Sony A7 and Canon 85mm 1.2 with Sigma adapter, Canon EOS RP and Nikon 35mm 1.8 with adapter, ancient Canon 10D and an infrared Sigma SD14. Not my normal loadouts for sure, but still fun for a stress free Saturday.<\/p>\n

(This is a photo of the Pho, but from a few weeks back) I forget the name of the restaurant, but it’s next to Gong Cha on Pleasant Hill. I really liked the ox tail pho when I had it. The noodles are thick and I think hand made.<\/p><\/div>\n

Arabia Mountain<\/span><\/p>\n

I missed a very colorful sunset on Friday, but the one on Sat was pretty nice.\u00a0 Anything’s better than the normal grey cloudy ones we normally get in the summer.\u00a0 Arabia Mnt was cool and breezy since the big heat wave has hopefully subsided.\u00a0 Only a handful of folks up there too, enjoying the weather and taking portraits of each other.<\/p>\n
