Twenty-image stack, mean.
A juvenile double-crested cormorant tosses its food to get it into the right position. ✔️
One could tell how inexperienced it was - it kept loosing its fish when tossing it, but was very quick in getting it again. Lots of practice still needed to make it an experienced hunter.
For Fenced Friday, this is a close up of the fence post I posted to the group a few weeks ago, showing the lichen in more detail.
We headed to beautiful Mt. Tamalpais near Mill Valley, north of San Francisco. Half way up is a place called Trojan Point where the road winds around a sharp turn. Two bicyclists enjoyed the view while resting at the side of the road.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

OTD post from 2021: Strolling through the beautiful Redwoods in Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco - HTMT!
On August 19 we headed to beautiful Mt. Tamalpais near Mill Valley, north of San Francisco, with the goal to shoot the Milky Way. The park was unexpectedly closed due to nearby wildfires. We parked at a camp site, and hiked up the mountain and waited for sunset.

Summer is fog season here in the San Francisco area. Odd as it seems, it's colder, damper and more overcast during the summer months than it is the rest of the year. But there are a few spots that are elevated enough to get you above the fog, where it's sunnier, warmer and not-overcast. My favorite place to get above the fog these past few years has been Mount Tamalpais (a.k.a. Mt Tam), in Marin County, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. In fact, my friend and fellow fogaholic Larry Nienkark and I have been up on Mt Tam more often than we care to admit. But let's just say that in August we've only missed going up the mountain 1 or 2 days each. Yes, it's an obsession, but a healthy one, I think. The trips have been very rewarding socially (I've met many other fog addicts), physically (lots of hiking) and photographically (I now have an even more enormous catalog of fog photos). All in all it's been a most excellent and productive season.
I'm a very slow publisher, so you'll be seeing my fog photos for several months...well beyond the end of fog season. I hope you enjoy them. In the meantime, if you want to follow along on my foggy adventures, feel free to find me on Instagram, where I've been using the "Stories" feature to post live photos and video from the locations where I've been shooting. The photos and videos in the Stories section only last 24 hours (like Snapchat, if you're familiar with that), but it's a fun way to see the more "real life" side of the folks you follow. If you're on Instagram, you can find me here.
Happy Sunday/Monday, friends! I'm off to shoot more fog tonight....
-Lorenzo
