Since it’s been a long time, a sunset photo

I used to take a lot more sunset photos, but haven’t seen many great ones recently. This evening’s was an exception. I especially like the reflection of the sun in the waves. Taken with the Sony Alpha DSLR-A550.

Photos from Vegas

I spent Thursday night through Sunday afternoon in Las Vegas.  Friday and part of Saturday were mostly spent at CES, and my mom joined me over the weekend for some sightseeing.  We had some great food (Mesa Grill = yum), saw a really good show (LOVE) and donated some money to casinos.

I was curious to check out the new CityCenter development, and I made a few trips over there. So, most of the pictures below are from there.  Enjoy!

Golden Gate at dusk

Here are a few shots I took around sunset last night on the Golden Gate Bridge.  Was trying to get the blurry tail lamp shot, but the rest of the photo ended up being blurry, since I didn’t have a tripod. Anyhow, I kind of liked these:

Cool pic of the week

When I first saw this scene I thought, I need to come back in the morning when the lighting is better. But I converted it to black and white and played with the contrast a bit, and I like the result.  So here’s the Pt. Bonita Lighthouse in the Marin Headlands, taken with the Canon EOS-7D.

All tucked in

Took this last night just before bedtime.  Zoe is all bundled up and ready for a good night’s sleep. Of course, she already spent most of the day sleeping, so I don’t know why she needs even more.

Snow in Oakland (belated)

Okay, so this happened a week ago, but it was still very cool. I woke up one morning last week and there was snow outside!  Not much, mind you, but it never snows here!
