Here's a fun look back at digital. I love the pic of the Kodak camera. Luckily they got the idea to design this, post 8-track era. Keeps the size down.
Here's a pic from last weekends workshop and what has grown to one of my favorite local beaches, Garrapata, or Dead Cow. I have NO idea where the name Dead Cow came from. I had no grad filter handy with this shot, so I took two and blended in post. I do this a lot these days with images shot with a tripod. It's easier than pulling out and setting up the grad filter, and at the end of the day, I end up with more tonal control.
Shot with: Nikon D700, 17-35mm f2.8, at f18, 1/4 sec, and at ISO 100
I saw these clouds last weekend on a drive home and on highway 46 between the 101 and the 5. I had to stop, and this almond orchard seemed like a cool foreground.
Shot with: Nikon D700, 17-35 f2.8 nikon lens, at f10, 1/200 second, and with a heliopan circular polarizer.
I wish I spent more time with this scene. I ended up liking the image, but at the time it was shot, I was considering it as only a test shot. I ended up only taking a couple of images before moving a few miles down the road where the clouds and weather appeared more dynamic. Either way, here is a White Tank Granite garden from Joshua Tree NP.
White tank boulders like these are caused by a process called intrusion. Magma was pushed up from deep inside the earth into overlying rock. It cooled and hardened and was exposed after erosion. Geologists think these rocks were intruded about 135-155 million years ago--when dino's roamed.
Shot with a Nikon D700, 12-24 f2.8 lens, at f11, and at 1/320 of a second.
