Shooting this bridge has been on my list for awhile, and I finally decided there was no time like the present. The sunset cooperated, but the lights did not. I waited until long after sunset for the bright lights to turn on that illuminate the towers but they never came on. That will be a photo for yet another day. Enjoy the sunset!
This turkey doesn’t need a presidential pardon. He is happy living the good life in California. When I spotted him on a hike I was happier to see him than he was to see me. The situation didn’t escalate, but he made it clear I needed to give him space to do his thing! I got this photo from a somewhat safe distance and was on my way. Hope you enjoy Thanksgiving!
Night shots require a little bit of patience along with some luck. It gets dark every night but not every night has this kind of mood to it. The dark sky made this long exposure really made Grace Cathedral look out of this world.
This was on the beginning of a long drive from the west side to the east side of the Sierra Nevadas. The drive ahead of me was long, but I made time to stop for this beautiful sunset!
An old oak tree, the setting sun, and a vineyard. Fall colors don’t really happen in most of Northern California, but there are still places to take advantage of the cooling weather and take some photos.
Cheeky Bum Looker! I can’t help but think of that old SNL quote when I see this picture. I got pretty close to this lizard and I think the look on his face shows that he wasn’t thrilled I was there!
My neighborhood is always full of Halloween spirit. This ghost on the corner isn’t looking for trouble, he is just hanging around on a moonlit night. The contrasting light really gives him a spooky look against the fall evening. Happy Halloween!
The sun was harsh but the city was beautiful. Black and white was the only way to properly capture the very edge of the city.
I took some photos in the Lava River Cave with a flash that I’m sure were very bright to the people behind us. Those didn’t turn out that great. For this photo, I probably just looked like a patient guy with a camera waiting for people to walk by to take the shot. Little did they know they were all unrecognizable and free labor to create the light trails for this photo.
It has been a whole week, I have to do it. I have to post another underwater photo. This one is a wide angle shot of some nice fan coral. I thought about getting rid of the shadow of one coral on the next, but I like the depth it brings out.
