Here’s a shot from a local Irish seisiún I attended yesterday. The circle grew as the evening wore on.

Home town views
Here are a couple of Petaluma views taken on different days while out and about in the home town.

Old and new by the river
I’m rethinking this blog and that’s why I’m posting less. But I’m still taking pictures and experimenting with post processing techniques. These two shots, taken at First Street in Petaluma during a late afternoon, are treated with a tweaked to my own taste “300 Look” preset from Matt at Lightroom Killer Tips.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L.

Homage to my old boots
We completely cleaned out our garage a couple of weeks ago to make space for a video shoot of our band. Tucked away amidst the years of accumulated clutter were my old Santa Rosa Brand work/hiking boots. I’m pretty sure I bought them in the very early 80s, and I obviously put a whole lot of miles on them before they were retired to the garage. Now, they just look cool.
I couldn’t resist a little pastoral treatment for the old waffle stompers.
Lenses: Images 1, 4 and 5, Canon EF 40mm f/2.8. Images 2 and 3, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L.
Flash: Canon 430EXII for images 1 and 3.

Amaryllis on Mother’s Day
The control wheel has gotten flaky on my “old” trusty Canon G11. I’m pretty sure this video shows the simplest, and definitely the cheapest, fix. But anyway… Yesterday, while I was trying to find a solution for the wheel problem, I had the camera out so I took it outside and grabbed a few shots of our red amaryllis. I metered for a “high key” look for these first two shots.
And because the G11 does great macro, I had to get in close.
