Spring Sunset and Bridalveil Fall

Spring Sunset and Bridalveil Fall

I took several pics at Tunnel View last May--no sunset color ever materialized, but the clouds were fantastic and the waterfall was roaring.

Ground cover and old vines, Santa Ynez Valley

Ground cover and old vines, Santa Ynez Valley

Spring is my favorite time in the vineyards, right before bud break (when the grapevines come back to life) and when the ground cover planted in the vineyards is a riot of color.

Chaos, detail

Chaos, detail

Just realized I forgot to add info to this image. This is taken along the water's edge at Fort Point, at the southern foot of the Golden Gate Bridge. We ended up there after the good morning light was all gone, so I looked for detail shots. I noticed that this stretch where the waves were crashing was in just enough shade to bring out a really nice blue in the water--I ended up taking a ridiculous number of exposures as I tried out a ton of different shutter speeds. I wanted to catch some of the water blur to show motion, but didn't want it to be too silky so that all the water's texture was lost. I was finally satisfied with this one at 1/8 sec.

Monochrome Mittens

Monochrome Mittens

I normally wouldn't do a lot of monochrome treatments on images I get in red rock country, because those intense colors are such a big part of the area's visual appeal. I had such a great, dramatic sky this afternoon, however, that I decide to do a monochrome conversion to play up all the cloud detail.

Santa Barbara Sunset Abstract

Santa Barbara Sunset Abstract

Long exposure and horizontal pan. This was taken a few minutes past sunset; I decided to leave in that dash of neon blue at the horizon line--it's the light from a boat that had just left the harbor. A little zen for your Wednesday. :)
