The whole shootin’ match.
This is another shot from yesterday’s commute stop. I figure with all the effected images I’ve been posting lately, something straight from the camera is in order. There’s no major tweaking on this image, just a little boost of the blacks and a touch of contrast to make it “pop”–and, of course, the usual sharpening after resizing for the blog format.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 46mm. 1/320 second at f/16. ISO 200.

Today, at the end of my commute, I got off the freeway and took the back road for the last leg. It was a lovely day so I parked in a turnout, walked around a bit and grabbed a few shots. I particularly liked this curvy driveway. Though the raw image looked good, I couldn’t resist tweaking it a bit to make the scene more ethereal.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 85mm. 1/400 second at f/16. ISO 200.

We played a bar gig in San Francisco last night. Just before going on stage, I was wandering around with camera in hand looking for shots when I saw this guy through a window. I had the camera in manual mode so I could get fussy with the quirky light levels in the bar. Fortunately, he was talking on his cell phone so I had time to dial in a good exposure before he moved on. And because I was shooting through a window the camera picked up some of the neon reflected off the bar and placed it neatly on the overpass.
Settings: f/3.2, 8.9mm (41mm equivalent), ISO 800, 1/10 second. Handheld.

Just a short hop from the homestead there’s a walking trail with a nice view of Petaluma with Sonoma Mountain in the background. I’ve being looking at this view for a lot of years.
Here’s a 15mm, wide angle view.
And fully zoomed in at 85mm.
Lens: Canon EFS 15-85mm.

I play in a band so I spend a fair amount of time at local venues. Occasionally, I have time to pull out my camera and grab a few shots. This one is of my musician friend Renee’s ear–and pink hair. Though I haven’t used it much, I love the bokeh this lens makes.
Lens: Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM.
