The weekend and holiday shots.
Because it was a very rainy day here in the Bay Area (freakishly unusual for late June), and because I’m rethinking my game, I’m returning to the well for today’s shot.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 85mm. 1/500 second at f/11, ISO 200.

After a year+ of almost daily photo blog (and in the beginning, Facebook) posts I think I’m ready to step up my game. The commute is a drag, and stopping to take photos only makes it longer. I’ll still do commute shots now and again if the sky/weather is interesting, but the mission is over. Time for a different tack and a different category (or two). Daily posts will continue. Onward…
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm.

I’m feeling a bit sleep deprived today. Up at 3:30 AM, on the road at 4:00… home at around 4:00 PM. It’s a grind. Add 135 miles of driving through a major metropolitan area to the mix, multiply by 12 years… Anyway, here’s a recent shot I took of the Bay Bridge. The silver connector between San Francisco and the east Bay may not be as iconic as the Golden Gate, but it holds its own.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 50mm. 1/400 second at f/11, ISO 200.

At the end of our beach walk on Sunday we took a different route back into town. This little scene caught my eye–and though I liked the color version, black and white just seemed better.
On second thought…
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 15mm, f/7.1 for 1/50 second, ISO 200.

This past Saturday night, our band played a gig at Smiley’s Saloon and Hotel in Bolinas, CA. We’ve played there many times, and, because driving home in the wee hours on the windy roads from Bolinas is such a trek, we always accept the gracious hospitality of the proprietor and spend the night–NICE perk! After breakfast on Sunday morning the fog began to abate so we decided to take a long walk along the beach.
This shot was taken along the mouth of the Bolinas Lagoon.
Maggie turned just as I pressed the shutter button– “What the… ?”
