Another from the nite that I visited Sunol and forgot my camera.

Late Summer – Dry & Brown
This time of the year is my least favorite because I do not like all the brown grass and dried up creeks.
Poison Oak #2
One more from Hunting Hollow. I would have like to do a little “gardening” before taking the shot, but I was afraid to get too close.
Remember your Camera
Last week, I rushed Chip and the dogs out to Sunol before the light went. Well, we were unloading the dogs when I realized that I had forgotten my camera! I used my little Canon S1 instead and worked without a tripod (because I forgot that too). This was was handheld at a 1/30 of a second and still pretty sharp I guess the image stabilization works after fall.
Photo Friday – Divine
Taken in the parking lot of Sunol. Was a gray day but there was a light show through the tree when we arrived. By the time that I setup, it was gone. Fortunately, I waited and the lights resumed.
Poison Oak
One more from my visit yesterday to Hunting Hollow. Last spring, I had a nasty run in with poison oak. I can almost forgive it now because it is so pretty in fall. I used my long lens to stay well away from and to compress the trees with the poison oak.
Hunting Hollow
Tonite, went back to Henry Coe State Park. Instead of going to the main entrance, went to the Hunting Hollow entrance instead. I have been consistently whipped by the incredibly steep hikes at this park. One of the docents told me that Hunting Hollow was a flat road along a creek. It is flat but the creek is gone for the season.
Eagle Crest
I was searching for an image for the Photo Friday’s Divine theme. Instead, I stumbled across this shot that I like better in hindsight. My lesson for the day is that I have to have a better archiving scheme because I cannot find my images.
Sunol
This is from Sunol. It has been fiddled similar to Kathleen Connally’s style. She has a beautiful photoblog, A Walk Through Durham Township, PA. Her pictures have a rich, saturated style that is very distinctive.
Here is how I got a similar look.
Moon Shot
Went out tonite by myself to Sunol. I did some bushwacking along a stream I had never visited before. When returning to the car, I saw the moonrising over the hills. Pulled out the long lens and tried for a High Dynamic Range (HDR) Image. Turns out you can see the moon moving in an arc. So, this is a composite of two images and quite a few adjustments to keep details in the moon and the trees.
