Bay Area Photographers
I am starting this thread for Bay Area photographers. This is a place to post pictures, discuss photography, schedule meets, and make friends. I promise not to discriminate against anyone with a Canon, I just like to make fun of it and they can make fun of my Nikons or otherwise. Let's discuss equipment and usage advice/recommendations.
Hugo and I are talking about scheduling a shoot near Salinas/Monterey/Big Sur. We want suggestions on other great spots as well that are beautiful nature, city, or anything else. If you do sports, portraits, or any other, please share.
Here is a link provided by VRT MBasile to help us post pictures as a hosting location. I don't know how it works, so please ask VRT MBasile

the lightning shot was taken in my front yard in dublin years ago when that lightning storm rolled through. I used my external trigger remote with a 4~ second shutter, and when the lightning struck I'd hit the button and it would start grabbing the pic
Used a friends 300mm for the lunar eclipse shots, and the moon shot
And a buddies 1000mm f10.0 telescope with my camera mounted and controlled via laptop for the mars, jupiter pics
and a 70-200mm f2.8 IS for some of the other pics

Yep sunrise. I had gotten there before it was light, I was playing with some other things, and the sun started coming through the trees, it was beautiful.
As fas as special affects just shooting in raw on the camera, iso was at hs1? I believe. I bumped up the saturation in PS a little. But nothing other than that.
Next photo same day.

yes, you have a good eye for composition. great work. i usually shoot with Aperture Priority because of the depth of field i need for landscape photogrpahy. so i close the lens as much as i can 1 or stops before losing sharpness. i read some place in an article once that if you close the lens all the way, you don't get the best quality picture. i proved that to myself with my 4x5 in a few shots.

I'm waiting for wakeboarding season to start up again so I can justify a longer lens

you have to remember that when using AP, you are slowing down the shot. so depending on ISO settings which i always use a slow one like 100 or even 50, you have to use a tripod especially on long lenses. i use tripod pretty much all the time in landscape or people photography.
