Musicians
Had a gig today and after our set I took a few shots. Here’s one I particularly liked (I must be on a black and white kick). I cropped the image into “portrait” view because I wanted to emphasize the moody look of the bass and cello players against the hard backlight:
Out of deference to the guitar player who I mercilessly cropped out of the photo above, here’s the shot in full-frame, color view:

No Admittance
A weekend weaving in of an older shot. I took this one in town in late July. I chose to render it in black and white because it seems to better fit the scene.

More ZOOM!
Friday’s holiday traffic spurred me to go coastal. I pulled off Hwy 101 at Mill Valley and headed down the windy Hwy 1. There are LOTS of great views on this section of Hwy 1, but not many turnouts where parking is safe for run and gun photography this time of year. But when I got down the hill I did have a few opportunities.
Here’s the first shot I got (but needed more zoom than the G11 is capable of);
This was the scene at the eastern edge of the Bolinas Lagoon:
And here’s a scene a little farther north of some seals enjoying the sun in the shallow waters:

Bridge night scene
Heading south on Hwy 101 there’s an exit just before the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge that goes out to the Marin Headlands. Up the steep hill at the first turnout, this is the view of the northern most section of the bridge and work area below at 4:45 AM (looks kind of sci-fi):
Different shot zoomed all the way in:
I have very little time during the wee hours commute for camera amenities. Basically it’s park, shoot, and get back on the road. These shots were hand held with the camera set at ISO 800 and f/5.6. Noise happens.
