This photo is one of my favourites of the Golden Gate Bridge. I think it does a great job of presenting the beauty of the bridge. This photo is taken at night, long past sunset, and is taken from San Francisco looking towards the North Bay and Marin county. I took this photo in December 2007 using a Canon Powershot S2 IS camera with a long exposure to bring out effect of the light on the bridge and the water. I have some similar shots of the Bay Bridge which I’ll post soon!

2720433716 70bb866611 m Red/Yellow Lilies I captured photos of these lovely red & yellow liles recently in Sausalito, California along the waterfront. I found the color of these Lilies quite striking. I have photos of a few other beautiful flowers taken in the same area which I’ll post another time, or you can view them now in the photo gallery.

 

Looking Up! Seattle Space Needle

Here’s another interesting architectural shot, similar to the photo from the Westfield Shopping Centre. This time it’s a photo of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington from a trip I took there earlier this spring. The lower part of the needle has a lot of glass, making for nice reflections. I took this looking straight up near the entrance of the building, just before sunset.

Here are a few more photos of the space needle I took on the same day:

New Blog!

Written by jamie on August 5th, 2008

new and improved New Blog!Welcome! This is the first textual post on my new blog. I’ve been thinking about setting up a site like this for some time, but have never seemed to be able to generate enough content to make it worthwhile. It is my recent renewed interest in digital photography that finally pushed me ahead, so I’ll be using this blog mostly as a place to showcase some of my photographs, both older and newer work, and (hopefully!) as a result my photography skills should improve in doing so. I hope to share any special techniques I learn over time to produce my more interesting photographs as well, so that anyone reading this blog might learn from it as well.

Please take a look around, and if you have any thoughts on any of my posts or photos, please leave a comment and share your thoughts with me. I’m equally interested in the good & the bad, if you particularly like a photo please tell me what you like and/or why, but if you don’t like it, or know how I could have done better, please tell me! Every entry has a “Responses” link at the bottom – click there to leave a comment.

Thanks for visiting!
