Setting Moon

The setting moon was visible from where I’d been shooting for about 7 minutes this morning as the clouds were changing pretty quickly. This morning’s colors in the sky were subtle but quite nice. The amount of snow that had melted since last week allowed me to reach several new spots, such as this one […]

Sunset at the Sutro Baths

I just got a neutral density filter to play around with and tried it last night out at the Sutro Baths. It’s a B + W #110 ND filter, making a difference of nine stops, so long exposures are possible even in daylight and as the sun drops, you can leave the shutter open for […]

Luna

Another composite of two images, the first so we can see the world and the second MUCH darker so we can see the moon.

Tucked In For The Night

Another amazing instance of fog last evening, but this time it covered pretty much the entire view from Grizzly Peak. I arrived just before the sun disappeared and found the blanket of thick fog covering all three bridges, and pretty much everything else below my lofty perch. In the distance only the top of Sutro […]

Glowing Fog

Another image from the amazing fog the other night. Where the fog moved over lights from the city, it glowed eerily…

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 […]

A Million Silent Worlds

Those stars we can see through the haze of pollution and wash of city lights look white for the most part. But get up to altitude, to clear, dark air and you can see that stars come in many colors. I drove to Yosemite on Tuesday night and as I was descending into the valley […]

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” […]

Sensing New Possibilities

Some time ago I posited the notion that as technology continues to cram more and more pixels onto DSLR sensors, that growing capacity could be used not merely to make higher resolution images, but alternatively to gather more dynamic range with each exposure. Instead of bracketing a given shot twice, a 24 mega-pixel sensor could […]
