The only place for a garden around this funky old building is the little strip next to the sidewalk. This woman is making the most of the space, and the scene reminded me of a tableau.

Along our usual neighborhood walk there’s is a smallish yard (maybe 1/2 acre) that has goats, an alpaca and some Babydoll Southdown sheep. Though the wooliness gives the babydolls an interesting look, the mature sheep here are overly wooly and will no doubt be shorn soon.
Because of the hotspot in the unshaded area, I tweaked the contrast and “structure” of the image to pull detail out of the highlights. The result was an HDR look.
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L at 99mm. 1/125 second at f/8, ISO 100.

I’m chilling at home snapping shots of the transition from spring to summer.

Using shallow depth of field and 1 1/2 stop overexposure on the backdrop, I was able to almost totally eliminate the detail of the garage wall behind the amaryllis. The result was a “painterly” effect.

Late at night at SFO passengers wait to board their flight. I was doing the same, but occupied myself with a camera.
