Day 15

Sunset at Shoreline Lake Boathouse is beautiful. I wanted to capture the beautiful lake at sunset, and the serene atmosphere. One of my favorite places in Mountainview, after Shoreline Golf links.

Day 12

Took lots of photos walking though San Francisco today. Started off at China Town, walked though the Piers and the Embarcadero, Presidio and finally to the Golden Gate Bridge. According to my Apple watch Steve and I walked around 12 miles.

Here are all the photos I took.

It was a very foggy day at the Golden Gate Bridge. Took some pretty good long exposures with Steve’s help. It was very cold, windy and a long walk to to the bridge; but it was totally worth it.

Day 4

Preface

Day 4 was difficult. I wanted to experiment with some long exposures, and it was not easy. Rather than do one picture, I did two. The first one shows the moon with a beautiful backdrop of the pink sky (just after sunset). The second is a well-lit path with beautiful lamps, not very far from where I live.

A Photo a Day. (Adventures with a Sony A7R)

I have been eyeing a Sony A7R for a long time (over a year now). Yeah, I know that there is an A7R ii; but I don’t really care about the 5-axis image stabilization (given that i will probably end up using a tripod).

In an effort to up my game and take better pictures, I will document my experiments with my new camera for 30 days by taking 1 picture a day. Hat-tip to Matt Cutts for the inspiration.

An homage to the teapot, although mine looks nothing like it.
