cloud + Mount Tamalpais

I spotted some interesting clouds coming over Thursday afternoon, so I buzzed over to China Camp to get a good vantage point of Mt. Tamalpais and the clouds...

I sure could have used one, but for some reason I still don't have a polarizer, so I really had to fiddle around in Photoshop to generate a bit of contrast and color...   I was shooting pretty much right into the sun, so I got a bit of a lens flare at the top of the picture, but I think I was able to clone it out pretty successfully...   I boosted the saturation overall a bit, which brought out the yellow in the background clouds -- I didn't discover those yellow clouds until I started fooling around...

The sun was making a valiant effort to break through, but it was a cloudy day at Point Reyes...   A great day to experiment with color...

Finding new ways to shoot something that has been shot a billion times is always a fun challenge...

That top shot is the lake at Nicasio, out in west Marin County...   Occasionally in the morning, when conditions are just right, the lake will generate it's own little fog system...   Mix that with sun and you've got a pretty picture...   Other times the lake can be smooth and reflective as a mirror, and luckily, there is a nearby mountain that is usually more than willing to lend it's reflection to the composition...

The Rose Garden in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park is currently putting on quite a show...   --Best entertainment value in town (it's free), and within spitting-distance of the incredible new DeYoung Museum...

mossy tree

Way up on Mt. Tamalpais, near the intersection of Ridgecrest and the Fairfax to Bolinas Road, is a low spot on the ridge...  Fog funnels through this spot like a freight train...   It's usually always wet and drippy up there, even if it isn't foggy...   It's a very mossy place...

The rose is from the Rose Garden in Golden Gate Park...
And the artist is sketching at the Holocast Memorial, out by the Legion of Honor...
