Moments after Mother Nature unleashed about an inch of rain, today’s photo captures the view from Brooklyn of Lower Manhattan. To the far left is the Statue of Liberty and to the far right is the Brooklyn Bridge. I took this picture about an hour before taking this one.
Sunset from Brooklyn's Dumbo (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass)
We had some crazy weather on our trip to New York. In addition to the heat I mentioned yesterday, we had some thunder and lightning. After a downpour, I took today’s photo. We had planned to walk back over the Brooklyn Bridge (on the left) after dinner in DUMBO, but another storm hit before we finished eating so we took the subway instead.
That’s the Manhattan Bridge on the right over the East River. In the distance, you can see the new WTC 1 nearing completion.
My friend Nelson made some minor adjustments to my original photo to come up with what you see pictured above.
During my first full day in Southern California late last week there was a huge storm, more like typhoon or monsoon. More than an inch of rain fell during the day, and the wind was incredible. For a brief period of time things cleared up. I headed to the beach to take this photo. Soon thereafter it was crazy windy and rainy again.
When the daytime temperature hits 60 degrees and the forecast is for snow in the evening, you know the sunset is likely to be spectacular. Luckily I was out, waiting for Ellie to finish her flute lesson, when the pre-sunset show began to take place.
This is the third time I’ve posted a picture of this vineyard Buddha. He is at peace regardless of the weather.
About 10 days ago, Ryan turned 16. For his birthday they headed to the Oregon coast and some ATV riding in the sand dunes. I didn’t go with them as there wasn’t space in the car for another and Ellie had a volleyball tournament. My wife took this photo of the sunset.
Ashland, Oregon just after sunset
Today’s photo is one of the first I took with a new lens–the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX Autofocus Lens for Nikon. I tried to stitch (photomerge) three images together to get about 200 degrees worth of Ashland, but Photoshop was not willing. Perhaps I’ll try to do it manually in Photoshop.
Mt. Ashland is to the left of center. Wagner Butte is to the right of center. Ashland High School had something going on at the football field so the lights were on and that caused the brightness to the left of center. The brightness near the far right is the Ashland Springs Hotel. The lines in the lower-left half on the bottom are the cars going up and down I-5.
I took this about 15 minutes after sunset on my D7000 at f/4 for 30 seconds at ISO 100. I cropped the bottom and top off the 11mm picture to give it more of a panorama feel.
