Here’s another shot from yesterday’s commute stop. It was 3:45 PM on a Thursday and I was there all by my lonesome.
Lens: Canon EF-S 15-85mm at 22mm. 1/250 second at f/9.0, ISO 100.

Contrast and an icon
Because of my commute route I have the opportunity to shoot a lot of photos of the Golden Gate Bridge. But, because I’m commuting, the vantages are limited by my desire to get home. Fort Baker is a fave for easy off, easy on the highway.

Cityscape after a storm
A storm moved into and out of the Bay Area over the past 24 hours dumping a moderate amount of rain. By the time I left work for my commute home the roads were dry. I figured it might be a good day to take a little side trip down to Fort Baker and grab some photos. Unfortunately, there was a layer of very high clouds filtering the sunlight so I didn’t get the sparkling clear views I was hoping for–but, I was the only out there so I had an enjoyably peaceful 15 minutes of photo fun.

Fisherman in red
I’ve been uninspired to stop and take photos during my commute for a few months now. I blame it on this winter’s weird weather, but perhaps the discipline of taking commute shots almost daily for the past year and a half has run its course. Maybe it’s time to look beyond the well worn path for inspiration. In the meantime, here’s a shot I took about this time last year during a stop at Fort Baker.

Gull on a pier rail
I took this shot yesterday during my short stop at the Fort Baker fishing pier. The gull was keeping a vigilant eye on a noisy juvenile gull perched on the rail on the opposite side of the pier, but for a moment it looked my way long enough for me to grab this shot.
I’m also posting the color image because I can’t decide which version I prefer.
