DTSD Warm Panoramic The harbor was busy with watercraft from dinghies to destroyers. Just before the sun set on this weekend, I arrived at the bay front, set up, and exposed this panoramic image. The falling sun started to cast warm light on Downtown San Diego's skyline. What a wonderful time to be on the waterfront! One of the joys of San Diego is the bay; it is worth spending a few chilly hours on the water at sunset! March 28, 2010
Beach Photo Two and a half seconds in bright sunlight is a first for me! The sun did get overexposed, but the beautiful deep blue sky accented the bluffs while wispy white waves receded at my feet. I really like the feel of this image. March 27, 2010
Bon Voyage Venice Our European adventure was phenomenal! This image, a frame fit for the ending of a slideshow, was among the first that I exposed. After seeing numerous waterways, islands, and beautifully adorned edifices, this silhouetted sailboat sunset holds fast in my memory. The "sail away" gathering on the ship's upper deck was the perfect way to say goodbye to Venice. Of all the cameras I could have captured this image with, I used a Nikon S550. Not just any S550, but my wife's specially ordered metallic purple-bodied Nikon that screamed masculinity! The photons were enhanced by precariously positioning the compact to shoot through my sunglasses' lens. The amber sunset, purple camera, and photographing through a makeshift sunglass filter all amounted to a pleasing composition and joyful memory. March 25, 2010
