Sutro Sam
This was taken on Feb. 21st, my birthday. I've been looking for Sutro Sam, a wild river otter who took up residence at the Sutro Bath Ruins, ever since he was mentioned in the local media a couple of months ago. Sutro Sam made an appearance for me that day. After brunch at the Cliff House, we walked down to the bath ruins, where I saw Sam eating a fish at the side of the fresh water pond.
I heard that Sam has not been seen since February 23rd, and may have gone away, either because he has run out of food here, or because he is looking for a mate (it is spring after all). :)
I also took a short video of Sam using the same equipment combo: G5 and 100-300mm lens. I uploaded it to Youtube (link here: Sutro Sam Youtube Video).

Sam looks like he has been dining at the Cliff House, or getting lots of scraps.

Sutro Bath Sunset, Another View
A few minutes later than the first one that I posted. It was getting cold, so we left the area but if we had stayed, we would have seen more pinks and reds in the clouds. Oh well, maybe next time...

Sunset at Sutro Baths
It was a hot day yesterday, we decided to go out to see the sunset at Sutro Baths to cool down, and were treated to another nice and unique sunset view.
I went out with the D200 yesterday and I'll have more to post later. IQ is spectacular, in my opinion, what do you think? :)

Version Two, for Dan. I changed the white balance to make it a bit warmer, and backed off the vibrancy. Yes, I think this looks more natural. :)

I like the sensor's dr and the compostion is great, but the blue sky seems a bit off for a sunset image. Is that post processing or the camera's auto wb?
Dan - Warren T. said...

Believe it or not, last night's sunset really looked like that, blue sky above, golden sunset below. The only thing I did was to make it a little more vivid to my personal preference. What did you mean by "off", the fact that it was blue at all, or perhaps I overdid the saturation?
Yes, I love the DR of APS-C. It would have required much more work to wring this out of a Micro 4/3 sensor.

My personal taste is a little less saturation and let the natural light and color provide the drama. That is just me though. My two images are at sunrise and with the heavy haze I chose not to use any saturation or vibrance. Two ways to show views and two interpretations. That is what makes this fun.

I made a version that looks more natural.

I actually like the warmer (2nd) version better. I'm not sure what I was thinking on that first one :). Maybe it was too late last night when I did the original PP for it, and my eyeballs were mis-calibrated. :P.
--WT - dan in marin said...

I am partial to the 2nd version as well Warren, as I compare both images the transition area in the sky between the sun glow and the evening blue sky created a break to the eye. The second version has a better transition and seems to move between these colors less abruptly. Perhaps version 1 had a bit of posterization, which made an abrupt transition. Anyway, great image.

"Spectacular" is the word that immediately came to mind when I saw the small version of #1 in my email.
I'm partial to #1... the darker blues in the upper part of the sky really contrast beautifully with the warm colors of sunset. - Warren T. said...

Steve, thanks for speaking up about #1. Good feedback. --WT

I especially like the compostion of the tree trunk and exposed wood, nicely done Warren. The arch is very appealing as well
Dan - Dolph Brust said...

The tree did come out really well. I post mine when i get back home in a couple of weeks. The picture with the flowers and the ocean in the back ground came out really nice, with great colors framed with the rocks. The picture of the flower that is framed by the open window i'll post but I think your came out better with the sky. A great afternoon and lots of fun.

I like the last one too, it has a nice place to settle into for focus. And the stripped area does provide a nice leading line as Dan pointed out.

This really contrasts with Eric's colorful picture from the Northeast Coast. Both pictures have the same cloudy skies, but Fall in SF consists of muted, neutral colors. :)

Very good photos - my favorite is #3, the silhouette of the twisted trees, which I think is exquisite.
I like the complex, twisty shapes of the trunks and the needle-y leaves in contrast with the calm sea. The tones are beautiful. Great B&W. - Lea said...

FAAAANtastic. I found them all interesting. The variety is Just enough! Portrait, landscape, colour, b&w, close ups... And besides that, of course, it looks like a beautiful place to be :)
Favs -#5+6, and #3 - dan in marin said...

Seems, like you are enjoying the new system Warren, nice grouping, I especially like your use of the B & W for the nostalgic shot of the baths.

Warren, I really like the first one, the top half especially, beautiful sunset.

Beautiful, surreal colors and scene. :)
I keep wanting to rotate this for the Rorschach feel... Beautiful colours.
