This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. Today was the second race of round robin 1 of the Louis Vuitton Cup. It was Emirates Team New Zealand (ETNZ) against Artemis Racing. Artemis was a no-show because they are still working on getting their second boat ready after their first one […]
Currently it is very hot here in the California’s White Mountains range and thunderstorms are common. The clouds start to form around noon and build-up from there. By mid-afternoon the first rain comes, which is very welcoming as the temperatures drop. After 30 minutes the rain is over and the sky starts to clear. Last […]
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 […]
This year’s supermoon coincided with a trip to Yosemite. Obviously I couldn’t leave my favorite park without trying to capture this event. You might ask, “what is a supermoon”? The distance between the earth and the moon varies over the year. When the full moon is the closest to earth, the moon appears bigger and […]
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 […]
This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series. It was a pleasure today to see Luna Rossa, Emirates Team NZ and Oracle Team USA sailing their AC72s in the San Francisco bay. Here are some of todays captures taken from the shore.
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.

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 […]
