JCK & TLB uploaded by admin.
TLB (The Lovely Brigitte) and I wish the very best for you this coming year. The theme for 2008 appears to be “Get Healthy, Get Fit & Get with it!.”
Planet San Francisco uploaded by admin.
An online group I belong to is dedicated to developing photographic creativity. One member saw a gallery of wonderfully whimsical images and wondered how it was done. Several people chimed in and one posted a link to a tutorial that did something similar. This is based on a post sunset picture of the San Francisco skyline.

Shooting the moon at sunset is a ritual for me. Trying the get the timing, position and exposure is very challenging for me. Tonight, the moon came up a bit south of where I expected it to be. Ah well. There’s always a chance or two every month.
Moonrise with Mars uploaded by admin.
Tonight’s full moon had a hitchhiker – Mars. They both rose early in the west, following each other through the night sky. I pumped the planet’s color up a bit as it was overshadowed by the brightness of the full moon.
Little Friend uploaded by admin.
I have a lemon tree just outside the window to my office. Birds flit in and out and I enjoy watching them. This little fellow lit for quite a while and sang to me this morning. A docent once helped me identify birds like this. She said “It’s an LBJ.” “LBJ?” “Yeah, Little Brown Job”.
Branches on Bothelo uploaded by admin.
Still in the moment I turned around and looked toward the sunrise. This is in downtown Walnut Creek in a very urban shopping center. Still, because of the way it’s framed, it could be way out in the country somewhere. It just looks cold, doesn’t it?
Window on Bothelo uploaded by admin.
While I was out for a long walk this morning (32 degrees, cold for this neck of the woods) there was nice color in the sky for a short while and I tried to find as many ways of capturing it as I could without the stereotypical “sunrise” shot. The reflection on the upper window was a nice complement to the building color.
Evergreen uploaded by admin.
My son-in-law’s parents built a retirement home at The Sea Ranch. They have been gracious enough to let us use it occasionally. Each time I’m there, I experiment with photography trying different styles. Here, I was going for that design magazine look. I think it’s partially successful.
