Sunset at the Gate, Nikon D100, 85mm f1.8D

This was taken last Friday at Lincoln Park. Some light fog was beginning to blow in from the ocean. If you look closely, you can see Pt. Bonita Lighthouse jutting out from the Marin Headlands.

Jagged Stairs, Sausalito, CA., Nikon F4, Kodak Tri-X 

Bay Cruising, Nikon F4, Kodak Tri-X

This shot was taken through a picture window in the Spinnaker Restaurant (Sausalito) where we were having brunch. That's why you see some reflections in the sky.

This was my final for a lighting class I'm taking. It combines a technique from lighting class with one I have been playing with lately. 2 minutes @ F22 about 20 minutes after sunset. I popped the tree in 4 different places w/ my flash.

I noticed the interesting lighting here from the late afternoon sun, and the juxtaposition of old vs. modern architecture.

Tai Chi Class, Golden Gate Park, Nikon F4

Gail and I go to this class every Saturday and Sunday morning. That morning, I needed to finish off a roll of Fuji slide film. I converted this highly cropped shot to B&W.

"Passed Over by Time", Drawbridge, California, Nikon F3HP, Fuji Sensia

Drawbridge is a ghost town in the East Bay near Fremont. It was a booming gaming town in the 1930's. It was accessible only by train, and after the prohibition ended, the town fell into disuse. I heard that many of the cabins were used for hunting for a while. Over time, the marshy land began to reclaim the old cabins. Gail and I went on a guided photo outing one day to visit Drawbridge. Unless you like to photograph old, rotting buildings with not a lot of character or acres of marshy grassland, it was a challenge to find something interesting to shoot. I decided to show the contrast between the old and new here by waiting for the Amtrak train to get to the right spot behind this old half-submerged house.
