Michael in San Diego, California's photostream  

This is a very long nighttime exposure of the San Diego County & City Administration Center on Harbor Drive. It is an HDR composite of three different exposures.

This is a short timelapse video of an area of Ocean Beach in San Diego called Dog Beach. It's a leash-free area where dog owners can allow their dogs to run and play. It's very amusing to watch all the different breeds - large and small - playing together. I hardly ever see any aggression. They just love to play. If you go and sit on the beach with them, you have to be on high alert for the male dogs because they will very often try to lift their leg and pee on you.

This is a short timelapse video of activity at the boat launch ramp at Shelter Island in San Diego, California. The video contains 1,563 photos that were taken one photo each second over a period of just less than a half hour. The photos are being shown at 15 frames (photos) per second. The software I used to compile the timelapse video is called Timelapse Assembler.

The video is slightly longer than Flickr allows, so it stops abruptly before the music and video are finished, but you get the idea anyway. The quality of the video shown here on Flickr is very poor compared to the original high-quality video. I'm not sure what Flickr does with the video, but I can see that it has been considerably downgraded in quality.

Music is "The Sabre Dance" by the Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian.

This is a very large panoramic image that will be difficult to appreciate on your computer screen. The actual print size is almost four feet wide. You may be able to get some idea of what it looks like if you view it at the large size.

The image is composed of two rows of photos, with five photos in each row. I also took three exposures of each shot in order to do each segment as an HDR composite.

I cropped out a section of the right-hand side to create the two images that follow.

This is the image that was the starting point for the stylized version created in Photoshop that I recently uploaded. It appears just after this one.

Notice how muddy the Colorado River was on this particular day. You can see it better if you take a look at the large size.
