Every year at the beginning of November our Mexican Bush Marigold blooms. The plant is quite large and right now is covered with hundreds of flowers. I shot this isolated cluster this afternoon while experimenting with very shallow depth of field.
Lens: Canon 85mm f/1.8. 1/400 second at f/2.0, ISO 200.

Here’s another shot from yesterday’s salvage yard stop. The sign says it all.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm.

There’s a salvage yard with all kinds of “scrapture” curiosities at the last exit of my homeward bound commute. I’ve been meaning to stop for months. Today I finally did, and these punk dinosaurs, feigning to take on the windmill, were more than happy to have their picture taken.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 50mm. 1/160 second at f/11, ISO 200.

It’s a rainy day here in the Bay Area, so for photo fun I went to the patio and worked up an Orton “movement effect” image. It took a few shots to get a look I liked, but this one is a keeper.
Lens: Canon EF 70-300mm IS USM at 70mm. 1.3 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 200.

Taking photos is an addiction. Here’s a sun blasted Poplar tree. Don’t have a DSLR or a nice point and shoot, use your iPhone–with the Hipstamatic app… COOL!
