This morning I decided to attempt to shoot the Yuen (Noah & Nico) boys. I choose a deck behind Harbor Bay Sports Club. As always I have a plan of how these shoots will go, but the kids are have a different agenda. The sun was right in their faces which is a no-no but …

Easter 2015
Easter at the Yuen’s this year. Unfortunately I didn’t take many photos.
Koa’s Spa Day
We had to get Koa ready for Easter Sunday so a little dog polo and a mango scented bath was called for. A few portraits after her spa treatment.
Coot Wars
Sat out this morning coffee in one hand 7D2 in the other. Not a big fan of coots but they were very active. It must be mating season. So do they fly or walk on water?
Cormorant poop @ 10fps
Its so easy to shoot burds in our backyard. Cormorants are playful and very active. They are either diving for fish or spreading the wings in the sun My Sony A6000 can capture 10fps (frames per second) I’ll spare you all the poop shots but I knew he would do this, the bastard.
Noah
Shot this last night during dinner at a dimly lit Shakewell in Oakland. ISo 3200 – 1/200 – f2.8
Sow Bug/Woodlouse/Pill Bug/Roly Poly

Shanky
When we dined at Bodega Bay I had a great Lamb Shank dish. I liked it so much I did my best to duplicate it. I have to say it came out great I think I nailed it. Braised in a whole bottle if Zin and 2.5 hrs later.
Birthday Lunch 2015
This year I wanted to do something different for my birthday. I wanted to relive the living under one roof, rent-a-house (Half Moon Bay) in Italy type thing. Well that didn’t quite work out so we decided on lunch instead. Luckily Rick’s friend, Francisco owns Flavors in HMB so off we went. Food was excellent, …
Tamron 150-600mm
I get most all my lenses used via Ebay and this Tamron 150-600mm is no exception. I’ve only had one opportunity to use it but shows promise. Of course when I use this on my 7D2 it has a 240-960mm equivalent.
