Not finding the time to shoot lately so I've been going thru older images. This is a single image taken August 16, 2020 at 5:46am. No photoshop. Straight out of the camera.
We had no idea this storm was producing lightning when we left our home in Walnut Creek very early this Saturday morning. Dogs in tow, we were heading to the Marin Headlands to do a hike and catch the sunrise. We arrived at the bridge for this show and luckily my camera gear was in the trunk. I think I was the third photographer arriving at Battery Spencer. It was magical, photographers were screaming in delight. The composition is not great but, it's one of my all time favorite photography experiences. When the sun finally came up the hill was crowded with photographers.
This is another repost, taken thirteen years ago with my first DSLR. Even in those days I liked to try to shoot just about anything. I do remember the location, it was just outside my backdoor on a large cedar tree. I must have used a tripod as I could never have hand-held this long of an exposure even in those days.
I remember always being aware when going out the back door at night, in case it had built a web across the door, as it was a pretty decent size, and although I like spiders, I certainly don't want one caught in my hair, (which I had more of in those days.)
Reprocessed from my jpeg file which I had oversharpened at the time, so there was not much I could do about that, but I have always shot RAW, even then, but never used to keep the RAW files as they were so huge, and storage was not as cheap then as it is now. I do really wish that I would have saved more RAW files, as modern software and likely more refined processing skill, I am sure I could do much better these days than back then.
Having said all that, I was thrilled with this shot back then, and even now I am still quite happy with it.
