The weekend and holiday shots.
I saw this Harley-Davidson parked on the main boulevard in downtown Petaluma. There was a lot of distracting stuff near it so I took several close-up shots. This one popped when I converted it to monochrome in Nik Silver Efex Pro.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm at 105mm. 1/60 at f/8.0, ISO 100.

Here’s another shot from this past weekend’s Cotati Accordion Festival. I grabbed the shot because I liked the light on the cook. No doubt, the stream of people queueing up behind him had something completely different on their minds.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L at 105mm. 1/600 at f/5.6, ISO 100.

We spent this past weekend playing music, selling swag and partying down at the 22nd annual Cotati Accordion Festival. On Saturday, I spent a lot of time wandering the festival grounds with my camera. I’m just now culling through the hundreds of photos I took. This one was taken fairly early in the day, and though not indicative of the energy and craziness of the festival, the image presents a back story of its own.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L at 82mm. 1/100 at f/5.6, ISO 200.

The bright midday light beating down on the blacktop and motorcycle made for a contrasty shot that only required a few tweaks to turn into an HDR-like image.

The Naked Ladies (amaryllis beladona) are in full bloom in Sonoma County. I took these shots of the fragrant pink beauties that were situated along a stone wall adjacent to the Julia Morgan house in my last post.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105 f/4L.
