This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Luna Rossa against Artemis Racing, the first semifinal of the Louis Vuitton Cup here in San Francisco. Everyone was wondering how well Artemis will do in their first race and only on day 9 on their new foaling AC72. It showed that they […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Yesterday was another racing day with two boats: Emirates Team New Zealand versus Luna Rossa. New Zealand got a great start ahead of Luna Rossa and the distance between the two boats increased from 20s at the first mark to more than 7 […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. It is summer in San Francisco which means colder temperatures and a lot of fog. Today was no exception: This is the second time that Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) met Luna Rossa Challenge (LR) in the Louis Vuitton Cup. A week ago, […]
It is a longstanding tradition of San Francisco to use colorful lights to celebrate special occasions. Right now it is time to celebrate pride week. So the color scheme is simple: rainbow colors! In the past I have posted images of red and gold to celebrate the 49ers post-season run, blue and gold for the […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Today was the first time Oracle raced their two AC72’s in the bay. At one point I was able to capture a sequence where one of their boats made a quick turn while foiling (edit: that’s called gybing on foils)! This is just […]
San Francisco illuminates its local buildings in different colors throughout the year to celebrate special occasions. I already captured some of them in the past: San Francisco in red and gold San Francisco basks in orange Festive San Francisco City Hall A few days ago, I drove by the City Hall all lit in blue […]
These two pictures were made last weekend in Yosemite National Park, just two days before full moon. Since the moon was already big and high up in the sky, it nicely illuminated Yosemite Falls and the rock face. But we were not alone out shooting. Some other photographers were doing some light painting in red/orange […]
This morning I posted some images of a gorgeous sunset in Bandon, Oregon [link] and now we get the same treat tonight here in San Francisco! What a coincidence! I just stepped outside to capture the glowing read sky with the silhouette of the top Bernal Heights with its trees and antennas. What a start […]
On Friday night, I went location scouting in San Francisco for Saturday’s full moon. I didn’t find what I was looking for, so Saturday I went to my backup location on pier 7 near the Ferry Building. One reason to go to there was to avoid taking the same images I took back in 2011 […]
Not long ago, San Francisco was basking in orange (link) to celebrate the championship of the SF Giants, our baseball team. Now American Football gets all the attention where the SF 49ers are in the postseason. If they win their next game, they will play the Super Bowl in New Orleans! Although the relationship between […]
This year will be the 75th anniversary of San Francisco’s Bay Bridge. To celebrate this, The Bay Lights project is putting on an amazing show by having the light artist Leo Villareal turning the eastern span into a gigantic light installation. It just happened last night, while I was walking towards the Ferry Building, that they […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Today is Christmas for Oracle Team USA at Pier 80 as their second wing for their AC72 arrives. The work can continue to rebuild their damaged boat and in a few weeks they will be out sailing again. I am looking forward to […]
Not that long ago, San Francisco’s City Hall was basking in orange to celebrate the SF Giants’ World Championship victory. It wasn’t solely the City Hall that was illuminated in orange, almost the entire city was glowing. If you haven’t seen it yet, this is the link to my previous post. Now it is time […]
So true today: after the storm comes the sunshine. In the morning we had heavy rain while in the afternoon the sun was out again. Still, I was concerned that the clouds in the east would hide the full moon. I ended up with a 5 minute window where the moon was only partially hidden. But this […]
I continue my pursuit of monochromatic images created using slow shutter speed. These two images were taken from the Sutro Baths ruins (wikipedia), a former indoor swimming pool built in 1896 by Adolph Sutro and destroyed by a fire in 1966.
