The Yuvienco’s came to San Francisco for a vacation so we dropped on by for a short visit.
Yuvienco Visit
Ogdoc 25th
Last Saturday we went down to LA to participate in Marissa & Milton’s 25th.
Alcatraz 2017
I signed up for a Alcatraz night time photoshoot via a Canon Live event. It was a tough venue trying to shoot the island in a very different way from the other 60 photogeeks.
Ocean Grove Campground
On my way home from work in Gualala I stopped at the Ocean Grove Campground to shoot a few photos.
Easter 2017
This year we celebrated Easter at The Oyar’s house. So many kids creating chaos…and Cait has another one on the way, it’s a girl!
Bald Eagles
I saw on the news there is a pair of nesting bald eagles in Milpitas. I spent 4 hrs waiting for something exciting to happen. Other than a small hawk chasing the male it was boring and uneventful.
Itani Ramen
The Yuen’s took me to checkout the new place… Itani Ramen. I have to admit it was pretty good. I’m headed back to try the Duck Ramen.
Rock Point Beach
Yesterday we took a trip to Guerneville then to the coast to grab a quick shot at Rock Point Beach.
Salt Point
On my way home from work I stopped at Stump Beach at Salt Point State Park.
Fotodiox ND Throttle / Alamere Falls
My variable ND filter fiasco lead me to try a Fotodiox Sony adapter. Now I can use any of my Canon lenses on my Sony which is cool but more importantly it has a built in variable ND filter.
A week ago I made an attempt to go to Alamere Falls but I wasn’t quite prepared and I took the wrong trail and ended up coming back without any photos. This time I returned with Sandy and we took the proper route. It was a long haul (13mi round trip) full of flora & small critters.
Using the Fotodiox adapter was challenging as the auto focus did not work so I had to manually focus in bright sunlight on a LCD screen.
I was using a new Sony A6500 and like a dumbass I neglected to set it to raw capture, so my post processing was limited.
The tide was too high to get a good angle on the lower falls, which meant I ran out in between waves to get a mediocre shot.
