Very unusual (for Concord), we got rain in the middle of July. I took these this morning about 8AM.

A typical comment I got, "hey man don't take my pciture." (true)

I'm hitting the bottle

These images are for the Quality of Light assignment. I took these today while hiking along Franklin Canyon Road.

A couple of more Quality of Light images

2 More

More Quality of light images

This is really taking alot of time. I think 25 pictures would have been enough.

3 more images for the Quality of Light assignment

Here are 3 more images. Need 60 images total. I figured if I spend 10 minutes shooting each image and 10 minutes processing each image that 60 * 20 or 1200 minutes total or 2o hours. I've actually been taking more like 30 minutee to find and shoot each and anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes processing.

Which do you prefer?

Quality of Light (1)

Here is one of my quality of light images. I went out to shoot some pictures saturday night and forgot my tripod, I put the camera on a rock. Scene was very dark (darker than the image appears) and I had trouble focusing because I couldn't see. Shutter speed was 30 seconds at f6.3, white balance was set to auto. I think I'll try to take this again with my tripod. It was very windy and camera wasn't very steady on the rock. Image is a bit soft but I like it that way.

What do you think?
