California

half dome, yosemite, fog, trees, california, hdr, angela b. pan, abpan

This was one of the last shots I took in Yosemite. We would always drive by it because it was on our way back to the lodge and I always meant to stop and take a pic. For some reason it never happened until the very last day. I think it was worth the wait though. I love how the clouds have an opening for Half Dome, it looks kinda majestic 🙂

Yosemite National Park offers this great photo walk by the Ansel Adams Gallery which takes you around Cooks Valley. If you have any interest in photography, I would highly recommend this walk. The leader of this tour is very knowledgable in photo and points out very interesting details about the park photography itself. I can definitely say I learned a lot in that hour and a half.

Here’s a reflection of Cooks Valley shot taken while I was on the photowalk.

alcatraz, prison, hdr, black and white, san francisco, california, angela b. pan, abpan

My first black and white HDR. What do you think? I felt like an image of the Alcatraz prisons seemed pretty appropriate for black and white.

If you are ever in San Francisco, I’d recommend Alcatraz for a rainy day. Each ticket comes with an audio tour and you get to hear the point of view of a guard and inmate. It’s pretty interesting, especially solitary confinment.

Have a great weekend!
🙂

wind farm, california hdr, clouds, windmills, angela b. pan, abpan

On the way back to SFO from Yosemite, I saw these windmills and it reminded me of a microsoft desktop. I had to pull over. The highway was so windy because of all the traffic zooming by, I had to duck behind our car in order to take this image.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

rodeo beach, sausalito, california, hdr, sunset

How beautiful is Rodeo Beach? I wish I could to stay in the Bay area a little bit longer so I could get more color in the sunset. I never realized how difficult it was to get color in the sky on the west coast. Oh well, guess I gotta move so I can spend more time there 🙂
