About

San Diego County Fair International Photo Exhibition Blue Ribbon winner Shot From the Hart Photo and Novelty occupies a storefront at 4967 Newport Ave #8, combining fine-art photography sales with hands-on photography instruction and novelty retail. The studio's teaching arm covers manual-mode fundamentals — aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and HDR bracketing — a structured curriculum that complements the plein-air instruction offered by Artists Out elsewhere in OB. Print sales lean toward San Diego seascapes — Sunset Cliffs, Windansea, Moonlight Beach — with each piece shipped mounted and ready to hang. That gallery-ready landscape work shares Newport Avenue's art-walk foot traffic with the brand photography and fine-art prints produced by Mary Carol Fitzgerald. The most technically demanding output is long-exposure night photography of the OB Pier, requiring timed bracketing sequences and post-merge compositing to balance structure lighting against the ambient coastal horizon.
