The Veins Into The City on Flickr.

Last night I ventured into one of my favorite spots to see if I could finally get a good sunset from this location. I was about another 50 feet down for sunset and I could see the clouds over alcatraz start blowing up, some “epic” clouds and color. started forming. But unfortunately, I was blocked by this dang Bridge and the overgrown trees! Maybe I should have stayed up higher for the above view. I need to clone myself so I can be in more places at once :)
After sunset I came up to this spot to get this close view I have always wanted to get. Once I get a part back for my track I think this spot will be perfect! I still did timelapse though.
This is a 30 second shot with the Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L II. I have always shot with the 17-40mm and have never liked the star bursts it created. This proves why I got the 16-35, just look at those lights :) I will shows the comparison shots I took in both in later blog post.

The Bay Lights sure had a beautiful backdrop to this beautiful city.
This is a 3 shot 32bit HDR. I used Photomatix Pro’s, Lightroom Plugin. Then brought it into Nik’s Color Efex Pro 4 to give it some jazz and finished the rest off with Lightroom.

Last night I went to a spot I found out from my buddy TIA INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY. And this was quite the spot in many directions. I did some timelasping, panoramas and so on. City Hall was lit up Blue but it kept going in and out. This one does not show the blue. -Happy Friday!

The Floating Bay Lights on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
It looks like the Bay Bridge is finally starting to stand out a bit more thanks to The Bay Lights! Tonight Jameson and I headed out to timelapse, as we started seeing fog roll in we decided against the location we originally planned and headed to Fort Baker. There we realized the fog was going to completely cover us quickly so we headed up to Hawk Hill. It was my first time taking my new track out, and I quickly realized I might need a new huge backpack to carry everything. I got a lot to learn to get the hang of this. During some mess ups I was lucky and grabbed this shot before I started up another lapse.

Orange Denver Sunset on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
I had a school in Denver contact me about a year book cover, never thought I would be licensing an image for that, but hell why not! They also requested if the colors of the sunset could match their school colors, orange and black, no problem. So here is a different take on one of my favorite Denver shots, that I have previously shared.

San Francisco 2013 New Years Fireworks on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
As usual I am always racing to the spot. We didn’t leave my place till 11pm. Getting through the city was easy and no cars at all, then all of a sudden half way across the Bay Bridge we hit the stop traffic trying to get into Treasure Island. I thought we wouldn’t make it. After about 20 minutes we finally got to the turn up Yerba Buena Island and drove to the top parking lot, which had zero cars. It was odd Being the only car up there, I thought we were going to have to double park. So we ran down the hill, walked through the large group of people that were standing behind the fence and we hopped over it. No one was in front yet until they saw us do it. All I wanted was the center line up of the towers. Well I would have liked a better angle with the bridge, but there is always next year. Happy New Year everyone!
