A Good Night’s Sleep

On a recent trip to Yosemite, I zoomed up to see what the red spot on the face of El Capitan was. Turned out to be a couple of climbers just waking up for the sunrise. Wikipedia has El Cap at 910 meters tall, and these guys were about two thirds of the way up, […]

Rising Tide

When shooting landscapes here in the Bay Area, I’m usually in San Francisco wishing I lived there so I could respond quickly to changing weather. I often see what look like interesting conditions from Oakland, but don’t have time to get across the bridge and into position; the light and conditions change too quickly for […]

Mirrors Up!

A sharp photograph is the result of accurate focus and a still camera, and good technique in photography helps achieve both. Using a tripod is probably the biggest help to keeping your camera still, but sometimes you can do more. Shooting in Mirror Up mode can help make super sharp long exposures.

Cozy

While looking for light in the stormy sky yesterday, we happened to stop by the harbor adjacent to the Golden Gate Bridge at Fort Baker to see what we might see. I noticed this old MG wrapped up in a colorful tarp. I used the Nikon 14-24mm wide angle both for some perspective and to […]

Sausalito Sunrise

Thunder and lightning woke me up at 3 AM this morning, and I toyed with the idea of going out early to see if I could catch a bolt during such a rare Bay Area thunderstorm. I went back to bed. Got up as planned at 5, though, and set out to see what Mother […]

Amazing Light

Yesterday I’d seen several views of the Golden Gate Bridge with a fantastic wave of fog rolling in, obscuring the bridge itself but low enough that the towers were peeking through, and hoped it would last until I could head over there in the evening. By the time I got moving across the Bay Bridge, […]

Day of Stars Auction a Success!

On June 30th I wrote about the Riders benefit auction at MDK in Redwood City, which was a kind of preliminary event in preparation of the Day of Stars on the Thursday before the USGP at Laguna Seca, where a much larger crowd of racing enthusiasts was anticipated. For that event I’d donated an 18×24” […]

A Favorite Looking Back

Had a chat this morning with a friend and she asked which was my favorite photo from my trip to the Southwest in April. I’d have to say it’s this one, for several reasons. This was taken in Lower Antelope Canyon. My three friends, Tyler, John, and Suad, had been to the upper canyon the year before, and were […]

That Drobo Feeling…

I’ve been using a Drobo for several months now and overall am very pleased with it. Most of the things I’d heard about it before I decided to buy are spot on, and its many benefits are both useful and have removed one of many sources of anxiety in my life, worry about sudden disk failure and […]
