This post is part of my Cuba blog post series. During our trip to Cuba we had a one day excursion to the region of Viñales, which is on the western side of Cuba. To its north is the UNESCO world heritage site Viñales Valley National Park. We didn’t visit the park, but we were […]
On our first full day in Cuba, we walked the streets of Havana with our local photographer Orlando Garcia. We, newcomers, didn’t walk very fast as it took us some time to take in this new city. But Orlando was all over the place helping us to communicate with the locals and, at the same time, […]
Last Saturday was the opening of the 55th Annual Potrero Hill Artists’ Exhibition at the Potrero Branch of the San Francisco Public Library. I am excited that my print of the Space Shuttle Endeavour flying over the Golden Gate Bridge is part of the show! I captured this last September when the shuttle flew through […]
This is another one of these techie posts in response to requests to describe how I implemented some features on my web site. My site is based on the CE3 series web galleries by The Turning Gate. One of its features is a powerful framework for PHP extensions, called phplugins. They enable me to customize the […]
I’ve moved my Blogger-hosted blog over to DanielLeu.com/blog. But no worries, the entire content came along! When performing a search or looking at tags, you will get the previous posts as well as the new ones! The process to get this new WordPress-based blog up and running was a pleasure; because I revisited all the blog […]
A few weeks ago after a day of skiing under a cloudy sky, my sunset expectations were low. Was I wrong! Towards the end of the day, the cloud cover moved a bit and revealed an open sky along parts of the horizon. This was when I became more optimistic. There is a little beach […]
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 post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. It is nice to see Oracle’s AC72 back on the water. Welcome back! I am looking forward to seeing it racing in the bay.
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 […]
Last year for Thanksgiving weekend, we made a trip to Portland, Oregon. While we barely stopped on the way there, we took the longer but very scenic coastal road on the way back to California. Our last stop before the border was in Bandon, where we enjoyed a gorgeous sunset. The timing was almost perfect. […]
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 […]
This is the second installment of my 10 favorite photos of the year compilation. Here is the link to last year’s favorites in case you want to see them (again). Apart from shooting in my backyard (San Francisco Bay Area), up and down the Pacific coast and in the Sierra Nevada (especially Yosemite), I traveled to […]
