We had a late lunch here. Just as we arrived there was a coyote canting behind the picnic ground. I didn’t have my camera out then unfortunately so did not get the shot.

Actually as far as wildlife goes on this trip I didn’t shoot much of it.
I was focused on the landscape this time around so I let the deer, and stellar Jays go without taking their photos.

PP-Clarity, Vibrance, a wee bit of sharpening, and resized. No crop

ISS Fly Over

This is one of two frames that I was able to get the International SpaceStation flying over.

This was a 1m exposure. When I took the series I was planning to stack them for star trails. Not sure I’m going to do that now though.
I don’t like most of the shots.

This shot is worth keeping though.

This is an older shot from a Meet-Up event to Safari West.
These birds are really beautiful. Their crowns are golden and their neck feathers are like boas, all frilly, and soft looking. I was glad to see some outside of a fence.

This was taken while out with my Night Meet-Up group. We had a great day. Taking in the Palace of Fine Arts, Fort Baker, and ending here in the Marina Headlands for a late night shoot of the Bridge and city behind it.

As the sun warmed the grass the snow and dew evaporating turned into mist. I was happy that this shot actually came out. I also love the perfect Christmas tree in the frame.

Ice Flows

Taken on our first morning of the workshop on May 11th. The air was crisp, and the sky a wonderful blue at this time of morning. The ice flows really make the foreground for me in this composition.

We were spread out all over this bridge and meadow. I think there were lots of unique shots taken from this spot.
