This is the San Francisco skyline as seen from Treasure Island. The center spire is the recently renovated Ferry building of the Port of San Francisco.

Another from our recent visit to Treasure Island. I have not processed my ‘cityscapes’ yet.

Coit Tower is lit up and toward the right side of this picture. I guess a barge went by while shooting this image. This was taken from Treasure Island near the lookout point.

This is my new blog styling. My last design was panned with comments like ‘not pretty’, ‘not wide enough’, ‘what changed?’. So I went back to the design board for this one. One of the blogs, that I read regularly, is Superhero Journal. This design is inspired by Andrea’s blog design.

On Saturday nite, Chip and I went out with the camera club to take pictures of the San Francisco skyline from Treasure Island. While waiting for the sun to set, I wandered over to the marina. This is very abstract and the motion is because the exposure was 15 seconds. I have not work on the skyline shots but think that I have a nice shot of the bay bridge and Coit tower that will be posted sometime soon.

As those who have visited my blog recently, I have been working (and struggling) to put together an infrared portfolio. I still need to name the portofolio and write an artist’s statement. I have learned a lot just from getting ready for the review. I reviewed my images from the last 4 months and was very surprised to find several good shots that I never processed. On the flip side, the images that I liked at the time do not look good to me now. Finally, I have found out how much cropping can improve an image.

Chip and it went out for a quick trip to Alameda Creek. We went wading along the creek. I planned a creek shot but this little still life caught my interest instead.

This is an alternate viewpoint to this earlier shot.

One more from our nite photo outing. While processing this image, I noticed a sign for Jack Kerouac that I never saw when I was there. The sign is located about a third of the way down the foreground lightpost.

Another from the nite photo class. This is a car headlight detail taken in front of the famous Stinking Rose restaurant. The red and green streaks along the top are a green traffic light and a cars taillights.

This is an alternate version of the image in the previous post. This one is processed differently and a different crop.
