Weekend post, so out comes an older photo (taken in early August). “Too much fog” has a double meaning in this shot of houses in Presidio Heights in San Francisco. There’s too much fog in the image and there was too much fog in the city this summer. So there you go, photographic irony. 😉
Canon G11 liking the results.
Not exactly commute photos, but after the Friday commute we had to “commute” to a gig at the Berkeley Yacht Club. We arrived just after the sun had set so I quickly grabbed the G11 and snapped a few shots. These are zoomed in views across the bay (as much as the G11 can zoom)–I cropped them panoramically because there was too much water and sky in the original frames.
After the show, I grabbed my tripod and got a few night shots. Since we were at a yacht club I figured I should focus on boats.
[The image of the boats at night was shot in shutter speed mode (TV): 6 second exposure, ISO 200, aperture 3.5, focal length 6.1mm (equivalent to 28mm on a full frame camera)]
Canon G11 working day and night.
I almost came up empty handed on the commute today. The traffic was frenetic so I chose to just go with the flow and get home safely. Unfortunately, it wasn’t flowing so good towards the end so I got off the freeway and took a back road for the last short leg. Coming around a bend I spooked several turkey vultures who were no doubt converging on a carcass. I didn’t see any road kill, but one of the vultures landed on a rock to pose for me. I stopped smack in the middle of the road and took a couple of quick shots from the car. This one was the best of the lot.
Canon G11, not dead yet.
It’s still HOT in the Bay Area, but the fog is a rollin’ in… Three different focal length views from the same turnout of the low hanging fog rolling in towards the bay this afternoon.
Canon G11 sounding the fog horn.
I skipped a day yesterday. Must have been sleeping on the job.
