<p>I found myself with a little time, and near Pea Island NWR, and my bosses recently got a Sigma 50-500mm lens to try out...He's planning a trip to Africa this year, so his LBA (Lens Buying Addiction) is flaring up, and I benefit from it!</p><div>00XynC-318113584.JPG.21554fa6014cc6eacf804f7f05de1870.JPG</div>

<p>This interplanetary/interstellar destination installation along the SF Embarcadero continues to fascinate me since it first landed last August. There was a stellar pre-sunrise yesterday morning and here is how it came out imaged in a 7D, 16-35, 22mm at ISO 400, f/4.</p><div>00XynD-318113784.jpg.03de314219d2491fd5383e969c4ce94f.jpg</div>

<p>This past week we found an interesting structure called "The Periscopes" designed to transfer natural light and views into the local subway station. While not the best lighting, we had some fun finding interesting angles to play with. Happy New Year.</p><div>00Xynq-318125584.jpg.fff8329b33364aa39da749dd1e880d71.jpg</div>

<p>Walking home from the produce store last night, I saw a sliver of a moon in the twilight. I wanted to stand there and watch it, but hurried home and set up the camera on the back porch.<br>

I find that 15 sec is too long an exposure for moon or stars, the earth is revolving too fast.<br>

<p>I'm obsessed with still lifes now. I get like that. I find a challenge and can't stop until I'm happy with it. I'm not happy yet compared to some I've seen, but I've improved a lot within the last few days. I'm trying to get items to fade into the darkness (haven't got there yet), and not have any blow outs. I've had the 5D for a week now and we're still getting acquainted.<br>

<p>On Jan 2 I went on a walking tour of my own San Francisco neighborhood with my husband and a friend (my friend is developing these tours and we were his guinea pigs). We stopped by the Cable Car Museum, which is just a few blocks from my apartment, but I'd never been inside. I was glad to have an image stabilized lens on hand, so I could hold steady for 1/3 second and get a nice motion blur on the spokes.</p>

<p>I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable holiday season. My shot for this week came from a vertical shot of some ice that I was trying to catch a few drops falling from. Had no luck at all but, I got to looking at this particular shot and noticed that the bottom of the ice-cycle resembled a sea serpent or similar creature as well as a fish face in the upper right corner. Thought it was pretty neat so I angled the shot to 45 degrees and cropped this image from it.<br>

<p>I too hope all are enjoying the new year...</p>

<p>For me dreary, cold, foggy weather - the norm for the Central Valley of California this time of year, is keeping my shooting mostly inside. So I am spending my winter, photographically speaking, learn more of flash and still life techniques. This image, caught just this morning, I deemed of some merit (so I thought I'd share it). Granted the original painting is nothing to rave about, but the angle of capture and the lighting made the image interesting in my opinion.</p><div>00Xyse-318179584.jpg.17aeff167d413e0ed2804640488f55ce.jpg</div>

<p>My daughter painted this and I'm trying to get a good photo of it so I can have it printed as a poster for a friend of hers. The painting is about 5 feet tall, and it was not easy to get the edges straight, with no glare, etc. I think the colors came out pretty true to life.<br>

Great shots today, nice way to start the year. @Jim Service - I like that moon with plane shot - it looks like Santa's sleigh!</p><div>00XytB-318185584.jpg.1ec195f963ac7ffa1485fdff018c02ad.jpg</div>
