Got a hold of one of these via Ebay.

Today we had a visit from Sandy’s cousin Ging. It’s hard to believe this is the 1st time I’ve met her. We tried something different this time, a constant light in a softbox with a clamshell configuration using a Westcott Eyelighter for fill. Sandy was shooting the photos remotely with an iPad Pro.



I decided to checkout the Dog Surfing Competition in Pacifica after hearing about for years. I couldn’t stay long and they were running late. So not much in the way of surfing pix. There was so much moisture in the air I had to wipe off the front of my lens every 10 seconds or so.


















































August is a bit late in the year for new duckies. This is the 1st time we had yellow ducklings. Sadly we think two are blind as they are putting out a distressed call and just swimming in circles.


I had work in Marysville and ended up spending the night in Yuba City. I wasn’t prepared for the roosters & chickens at the hotel. Oh and no alarm clock needed.

Time for our annual trip to June Lake with the Harrigans. We did the traditional early Saturday morning Mono Lake shoot. A failed attempt at getting to the columns of Crowley Lake (high clearance 4WD needed). A nice boat ride on Gull Lake courtesy of Stinky. We stopped in for a drink at the Tiger Bar in June Lake. Church in Lee Vining with a surprise lunch at Whoa Nellie Deli and finally ending with a trip to Yosemite valley including Bridalveil Falls & Glacier Point.






































We haven’t seen our good friends in such a long time. We met at Limon in Burlingame, the Pulpo & Lengua was outstanding and the company… uh did I mention the food was good.
















Driving home from work today just north of Cloverdale. I should have taken my time and whipped out my tripod, meh next time.

Had to work on Saturday and saw these sunflowers just outside of Vacaville on the way up, so I had to pull over to shoot em. Shooting into the sun meant I couldn’t see my screen so I just blindly pointed the camera and held the shutter down.


Back up to Lakeport for work, so I reshot the Osprey family. I think they were nervous as they took flight as soon as I got close.
