While I was waiting for my car to get fixed last Saturday (January 27, 2018), I walked around the area and saw this trailer by an abandoned church. I noticed the YOLO graffiti right away. YOLO (You Only Live Once) was a popular phrase in 2012 and 2013, but I have not heard anyone say it recently.
So yeah.
This is called YoLo because

There was a time when I said that this ship would never ever set sail, but I guess they say "never say never" for a reason.
So yeah. YoLo!
Incredible cloud show at Yolo Bypass this evening. Fast changing cycles of rain and sun. At mountains we have so much snow that skiers cannot reach the slopes since the roads are closed. Sunday is expected to be without precipitations. Beautiful and promising March.
the story...
What prompted us to go to the Yolo Bypass Wetlands Preserve was a recent article in the paper suggesting that the Sandhill Cranes are here early in the Sacramento region for their migration. The article pointed out that it's best to view them in the southern part of Sacramento County. The Yolo Wetlands seemed more attractive since it was much closer and might have some sandhill cranes.
Well we were not disappointed for the lack of those cranes since we witnessed what seemed to be 10,000 birds take off at once without warning at sunrise. Quickly I set down the camera with a telephoto lens and got the 18mm canon in action to catch these birds just seconds after their group departure. This is amazing to witness due to the magnitude of birds. I hope you enjoy this snapshot of our experience in the beautiful Yolo wetlands preserve.
I really admire night photography. It is difficult to do, for obvious reasons as well as some hidden ones. I particularly have trouble trying to focus when I can't see anything through the viewfinder, relying only on my best judgement of distance. And then there's the challenge of determining the correct "bulb" exposure. The longer you leave the shutter open, the longer the star trails get, and the blurrier the clouds get, and the more light is shed on the dark land areas. It all depends on what kind of shot you're going for.
Since I have been on Flickr, I've been following photographers I admire. One that I just found is Arild Heitmann, from Norway. His photographs are fantastic, especially the nighttime shots. Check him out -he has amazing photos of the Aurora Borealis. So, thanks Arild, for the inspiration to go out and shoot the midnights.
I have a new camera, and decided to test its ability to capture at hight ISO ratings. I've never had much luck with digital SLRs at high ISOs like 800 and higher. This night, I shot mostly with 1600 ISO, and was really impressed. There is noise and grain as you would expect, but the overall quality and similarity to film is unbelievable.
We've had overcast clouds and fog for a week now, so you can imagine my eagerness to get out and shoot with my new camera! I saw that the clouds were finally breaking up around 9:30pm, so I drove to the Yolo Bypass in Davis, and hiked out into the wetlands under the moonlight. The combo of the moonlight and the lights from sacramento gave a strange glow to the clouds. I shot for about two hours.

I had no idea that YOLO meant You Only Live Once until Beefy schooled me. I thought it was just the name of this wildlife area outside of Sacramento (today’s backdrop).

Yesterday, one of my customers said, “K-I-T.” I thought he was just spelling my last name. Turns out that means: “Keep in touch.” I’m forever out of touch with pop culture.

Today while I was using my Mom as a personal camera guardian for taking a selfie on a bridge, I made few portraits of her. The stormy weather was just magic.
