Not every shot works. Sometimes focus is missed, or there is too much motion in the frame… but sometimes the “mistakes” give rise to an interesting image.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L.

The weekend and holiday shots.
Leaving Angel Island
The band played a gig on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay on Saturday. The venue uses a small boat (rather than the ferry) to shuttle performers to and from the mainland. During the raucous ride back I managed to get a decent shot of the gorgeous day on the bay.
Lens: Canon 24-105mm f/4L at 82mm. 1/400 second at f/10.0, ISO 100.

Moonrise over First Street
After watching the 4th of July fireworks down by the river in Petaluma, I grabbed this shot while walking home. Yes, I shot the fireworks, but this one was just more… interesting.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm at 24mm. 1/6 second at f/4, ISO 1600.

Fountain of faces
We walked from the homestead to downtown last night to see a movie. After the movie we headed over to the theater district square for a beer. While there I took a couple of shots of the fountain of faces that is the centerpiece of the square. There must be over a hundred different ceramic faces in this three tiered fountain mosaic.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm at 84mm. 1/30 second at f/4.5, ISO 8000.

Lagunitas Brewery fermentation tanks
One of my favorite watering holes is the Lagunitas Taproom and Beer Sanctuary in Petaluma, California. Here’s a series of shots I took a few days ago of the brewery’s outdoor fermentation tanks.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L.
