I shot this out through the sunroof of my car while driving across the bay bridge into San Francisco yesterday evening, so it is really just a lucky shot. I liked how the perspective turned out, considering it was completely random (I literally just stuck the camera out through the roof, took basic aim and clicked the shutter button).
And by the way, for anyone that might be concerned, traffic was crawling across the bridge at a snail’s pace… so I didn’t risk my life or anyone else’s taking this shot!

I captured these scenes while out hiking at Lake Del Valle in Livermore, California on Saturday. Another beautiful California park! It was a hot day for hiking, around 90 degrees but the trails were level and easy so it was actually quite enjoyable. I believe the hike took about 4 hours total, though a considerable portion of that time was spent looking through the camera lens!

Here is a bright photo I captured earlier this summer in a Sunflower field near Vacaville, California. I find Sunflowers are so bright and happy, they are almost mood lifting. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, I hope to get out and find new subjects to photograph this weekend!
If you like Sunflower pictures, here are two more also from this summer:

This is a night shot I took last weekend of the Ferry Building and nearby waterfront in San Francisco. The skyscrapers are part of the downtown financial district. Coit Tower is also visible at the far right of the picture. You can also view a larger version.
While I like this picture, the highlights and neon signs are still a little more blown out than I’d prefer. I hope to get back to this location to try again for better results soon.
