Better Days Gone

Given the state of the world, one has to wonder if the better days are gone.... Here's to wishing for the best in the days ahead...

Wait for it.... Happy New Year! (almost)

The only constant

Nothing better than a simple composition.... and a sunset!

Pushing my ISO

I was showing someone how you can squeeze in a few more shots by pushing up the ISO. This was taken at 1600. Though the sun had gone down, I was able to pick up the detail in the darker areas.

This image looks a bit flat to me, it probably would have turned out better using a lower ISO, and longer shutter speed. In which case I would have needed a tripod, and subject matter that wasn't moving around.

Surfer Sunset

All I needed was a few minutes of time and the right setting....

Modern Times (redux)

Ten months ago I used this photo as a statement, to sum up what I thought about the economy. Nearly a year later, and things have gotten worse. I'd say let's hope 2010 is better..... At this point I think it best for us all to tough it out as best we can.... the bumpy ride is far from over.

We three walkers

It didn't take long to sum up things and put the situation to rest...

Christmas at the Mission

I wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Mission was decorated for Christmas. The lights, people,and manger all added to the festiveness the image.
