I took this while on a bus driving over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. I took full advantage of the 5 fps (Frames Per Second) feature of my Nikon D40x, and I think the results on this one came out pretty good. It's abstract, and not the typical view you'd see every day. Hope you like it.
A patient and tame seagull--this guy sat on his post while I snapped about 10 shots of him. I liked this one the best.
The legendary corner of Haight and Ashbury streets in San Francisco. I took this from inside a moving bus, hence the glare spot just to the right of and below the "Ashbury" sign. I still liked the shot a lot, and thought it looked better as a black and white. To me, b&w evokes the '60s era, which was the Haight-Ashbury heyday...
I got a new toy this weekend...a telephoto zoom lens for my camera. It's a Tamron 28-300mm zoom and it'll take the place of two lenses on my older D70 camera body (I can use it both as a "regular" lens and as a zoom). I've been trying to get some good shots of the moon for a while now--I took this tonight, and it came out really crisp and clear, like I wanted to see.
Another photo from my recent trip and tour of San Francisco...the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. This is one of my favorite shots of the tour.
These are the famous "Seven Sisters" of San Francisco. These Victorian houses are referred to as painted ladies, and are among the more recognized examples of this style of architecture. If you recognize these houses, it may be from postcards or pictures from San Francisco--or from the opening credits of the TV series Full House. I took lots of shots of these houses but for various reasons, I liked this one the best. Hope you do, also.
