San Francisco/Oakland Bay Bridge
This is the beautiful bay bridge that connects the San Francisco Peninsula to Oakland and the East Bay. I captured this photo from atop Yerba Buena Island on a great overlook looking almost directly down on the bridge and towards San Francisco (“The City”).
If you look closely at the large version of the photo, you can see streaks of white and red light, the result of car headlights and taillights being captured with a slow shutter setting on my camera. I was pleased with the lighting effect of this night shot.

Crissy Field Beach, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco
I was in San Francisco at Crissy Field on Sunday to watch the Blue Angels and the airshow as part of 2008 Fleet Week. While walking alone the shoreline trail I saw this rough fence post leaning to one side with the Golden Gate bridge in the background. The bay was filled with boats that day to watch the festivities above, you can still see some in the photo despite most having left shortly after the airshow ended.

Sunrise over Mount Diablo, Walnut Creek
Sunrise over Mount Diablo in Walnut Creek, California I captured one morning earlier this month.
As the year draws to an end, it’s getting much easier to capture sunrise/early morning shots as you no longer have to get out of bed at such a difficult hour!

Muir Woods National Monument, Mill Valley, CA
I took this photo while hiking at the John Muir Woods National Monument, just north of San Francisco, California. These giant redwood trees tower hundreds of feet overhead and nearly block out all light on the forest floor below. If you view the large version of this photo (link below), you can just see a fencepost in the bottom right corner of the photo, which gives you an idea of the size of these trees.
