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 blog post is the first one of a series documenting my recent travel to Cuba. I just spent a week in Cuba with a group of photographers led by Zack Arias and hosted by the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. Due to the United States embargo against Cuba, it is not easy to visit this beautiful […]
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 […]
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 […]
As I have received numerous requests to describe how I created my vertical navigation menu, here’s a short post explaining the process. My web 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 enabled me to customize […]
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 […]
I have been working on this for a long time, but now finally my new website is live! The look is very similar to the old site, but it’s on a totally new code base. The user experience navigating the site should be improved by the sub-menus and the breadcrumbs. Last but not least, I […]
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 […]
