Tree Time


Time for small group photography.

The kids all wanted to hang out in a tree.  The older kids liked this tree because it looked like the "hang out tree" for teens that needed to exclaim love for each other.  This tree is in a secluded part of the park so it is easy for kids to graffiti on it.  The older kids said "the tree's got TUDE' Dude"...

Wedding Day Pic. Good timing.


In the hotel room getting ready, someone opens a window as someone is opening a door, a gust of wind takes the veil for a ride, good timing!!

Which Brings me to this one


Since the last picture showed a shot from the night time I thought I should post this one.  This was taken at the same place, which, by the way is Twin Peaks San Francisco, I neglected to mention that on the last post.  It was about 6AM the next morning.  Again, pretty darn cold, I am glad my gear stood up to the task.  Almost no tourist at all that early.  I have more from this morning, the colors change and blend so nice.

Night shot..cold....


This is Market St. in San Francisco at night.  My camera, lens and tripod we're to cold to touch.

This is a long exposure, and what is really funny, is that even at this time of night, 9:34 pm, tourists are still walking around, where I was set up, a gentlemen from the Asia region of the world, stopped to look at what I was doing.  He was quiet and kept his distance, for the most part, then he approached me and asked "you are taking pictures, right?".  I turned to look at him, smiled and said "yes".  He let out a loud "AH!" stopped to look at the scene, and then as I start another shot, he walks forward about 2 feet and proceeds to walk in front of the lens!!  I did not say anything, at that point I just wanted him to be on his way...

Better Timing


I like this picture, nice color, natural light, but the cat did it for me.  Added another element of a close up picture that is done time and time again.  I could not have tried to compose this which leads me to suspect that the cat has better timing than I do!! :)
