a few night shots down by the harbor and wharf

On a relatively boring evening, I decided to go try some long exposure shots down by our harbor. I wanted a chance to try out using RAW format and test out my new lens. Standing around in pitch black by the ocean can be unnerving, especially when people pop out of the dark and ask if you dropped your hat. The night yielded some great pictures, some interesting interactions and a great conversation.

a backpacking trip and a freezing night

This set of photos is sort of a two part deal. The first was a byproduct of an ongoing timelapse project. The results of that that should come later... But anyway, I found myself on top of Camino Cielo wearing 4 jackets in 30 mph wind alone except for the 2 coyotes in the bushes. Luckily a full moon was casting the most amazing light over the ocean. Enjoy.







As for the second half, nothing more than a backpacking trip to 19 Oaks occured.

franceschi park

A couple days ago I went up to Franceschi Park to shoot a few timelapses of the town. In between I took a few pictures of the house and got to see some crows hassling a hawk. Twas a gorgeous, classic Santa Barbara day.

a few more garden pictures

With little to do I went outside and took some yard pictures. Enjoy, comment, critique, share.
