Sunset at 1525 State
When the evening sun does beautiful things like this I find myself
wishing I could drop everything and take pictures.
Today I had a busy afternoon of meetings and appointments,
fortunately one of them was with a new client so I just
happened to have my camera handy. I think the wispy
pink clouds really add a lot! Not to mention the
cool bus tail lights that came through at just the right time.
This is a combination of five images in what is called a High Dynamic Range Image, mostly
used in this case to pick
out the details in the bright spots. One of the interesting things
about one of those bright spots is the color of the sign.
That lovely green is the way film (or in this case a digital sensor)
sees fluorescent lights. As they ummm... "encourage" us in California
to use the CFLs my evening shots are going to get a lot
greener, supposedly in more ways than one.

East Beach Woodcut - No Lifeguard On Duty
I went out this evening to get some evening shots of the city.
I was not sure exactly what I was looking for, but when I
drove by East Beach I saw it. :-D
This scene reminds me of a woodcut technique where the black
silhouette is printed over a gradient background.
The sky was cloudless, the dark outline at the left on the
horizon is Santa Cruz Island part of Channel Islands National Park.

Harbor Moonrise
You can see the moon coming up on the right side of the
photo, through the fog. This was an amazing night
to take pictures.

Sunset Palms
I guess this is why they call it Palm Desert!
The bright thing in the sky is a sliver of the moon.
It appears small in the photo because it was
taken with a wide angle lens.

Moonlit Harbor
I am still experimenting with evening photography.
It takes a longer exposure, but I use Fuji Velvia, which
is primarily a daylight film. The saturation makes this
film incredible.
