Another from my Yosemite while driving series. This one had a shutter speed of 0.5 seconds. There is no manipulation in Photoshop other than tonal adjustment.

Yosemite Drive-By #2
 |
This is another image of Yosemite taken while riding in a moving car. The shutter speed was 0.5 seconds. There was a tonal adjustment in Photoshop but no other manipulation.
Yosemite Drive-By #1
 |
This was taken from the car as Chip was driving up to Glacier Point in Yosemite. I was going through an obsessive photographer thing about missing shots as we zipped past. So I took out my camera, I started shooting images. I threw away 100+ duds but there is a handful of interesting images that resulted. Also, I made myself car-sick taking these images.
On a technical note, this image was not manipulated in Photoshop except for a levels adjustment. This image was taken through a car windshield and the camera was hand-heldw with aperture of f/22 and with a shutter speed of 1.3 seconds. I did auto-focus probably on the yellow bush on the left before pressing the shutter. My camera’s auto-focus mode does detect movement of the focus point and try to track with that movement. I believe that predictive auto-focus gives the stuttering/streaky quality to this image.
Yosemite in Fall #1
 |
Just returned from a long weekend in Yosemite, Chip and I were extremely lucky that the weather was great and warm. The fall colors were peak when we arrived. Given my limited time, I wanted to relax and was simultaneously pulled because I felt I was missing out on light.
Fall Colors #2
 |
This one will be my last post for a few days. I am heading out for along weekend up in Yosemite with Chip. I am looking forward to a getaway, and I have heard that we will be arriving near the peak of fall color.
Fall Reflections

Another from my recent visit to Sunol. I balanced on a rock in the middle of the creek to get this angle. I really needed a stepladder.
Alameda Creek #3
 |
Took a quick trip out to Sunol and took these shots before the light completely faded.
Flowering

Another from the out-of-focus series. I am undecided but decided to post anyway.
Alameda Creek #2
 |
Another so-so picture from Sunol. This little section of Alameda Creek is still very lush.
Toss #2

This is another panning shot that was inverted. I think it was a display with hard boiled eggs.
