View Pics from 2013 to Date

Not that I'm asking you to date my pics. I'm sure you can get your own dates.

January 13. Starting to experiment with night photography this year. Still haven't really gotten it right. 

January 15

January 17

Also January 17. You can see that same cloud formation between the bridge towers.

January 18. The colors are more subtle here....

...and deeper here (also January 18). I like the reflection off the bay.

They say it's never the same sunset twice, but this one from January 19 looks a lot like the night before, doesn't it?

January 20

January 24

February 7. Always nice to have some clouds to break the sunset monotony. ;-)

February 11. Richmond / San Rafael Bridge. That's San Quentin to the left at the other end of the bridge. My dad thought it would be nice to have a San Quentin pic along with the Alcatraz ones, but it's really too far away for a good shot.

February 18. Spotlight on the bay!

February 28. Nice detail in the cloud formations.

March 10. Fog rolling in at sunset.

Later in the sunset on March 10. Love the cloud formation over Mt. Tam.

March 11

Also March 11. More attempts at night photography. I have a feeling this could have been really spectacular with the different colored lights illuminating the fog, but I haven't figured out how to photograph it yet. 

March 14. I like the dark patch of clouds in the middle left.

March 24

March 25. More subtle than most of the sunset pics, but I like the colors in this one a lot.

March 29

April 8. Mt Tam just seems to attract (create?) lovely cloud formations.

April 18. The shots with both the moon and the lights in the foreground were a bust, but this is a pretty nice one of just the moon with my telephoto lens. Can't figure out how best to place the moon within the cropped shot. Maybe centered would be best?

May 20

May 23. Conjunction of three planets: Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury.

May 25. Same conjunction a few days later. Mercury is really faint.

June 4

July 15. This is the hill in Richmond where the refineries are --- looks much better backlit. ;-) 

July 23. I love this shot -- great fog formations coincided with great lighting.

July 27. Kite festival in Cesar Chavez Park. Not a photo you'd want to frame and put on your wall or anything, but still of interest.

August 16. Love the wisps of fog in front of Angel Island.

Later on August 16.

August 25. Remarkable clouds that are just a sliver above the mountaintops.

August 29. You can see light glinting off the cars on the bridge.

Also August 29. The northern part of San Francisco visible to Plum Hill usually isn't terribly photogenic, but the light was really nice on this evening.

September 1

September 8

Also September 8. You can see the bridge lights in the distance through the fog. Still not great night photography, I'm afraid.

September 20. Another one where I like the subtle colors. You can see a ship coming in behind the bridge, just to the right of the south tower.
