Almaden QuickSilver Park

Happy Valentines Day!! A few more pictures of Almaden QuickSilver Park I took today. These are straight from the camera and adjusted in LightRoom, no HDR this time. For once I was not lazy and used my graduated G2 filter (Cokin) in the field. On top of that, I used the one in LightRoom. That sun is bright.

Round Valley Regional Preserve

These are non-HDR pictures of Round Valley Regional Park in Clayton, CA. I had to go to a client in Livermore and decided to bring my camera and hike in this little regional park. I had been there once before a few weeks back to check out the green hills on Vasco Road. Things are so much more beautiful when there is water ...

Oak Grove Park

Between rain storms the sun came out. I rushed out to a nearby park to take some pictures. I've been enjoying HDR. I'm taking three to five exposures of every composition lately. This one is from 5 different exposures (0,-1,+1,-2,+2). I'm digging it.

Almaden QuickSilver Park (English Camp)

More pictures from English Camp at Alamaden QuickSilver Park in San Jose. These were taken last weekend.

Almaden QuickSilver Park

We went on a hike in Almaden QuickSilver park on Saturday. I took my new camera bag on the hike. These pictures were taken at English Camp. They are HDRs from three exposures.

Frost is here

Last night was the "coldest night of the year". It's California here, so it was 32°F. That's cold, right?
