Gary shared some photos from his recent road trip to Bodie and Yosemite. He also participated in the SD Fair meetup and was so inspired, went back to take more images. He caught some great images of people’s reaction to the rides. Bodie images definitely benefit from being presented as black&white. He also has a rare (in recent years) panoramic image taken from Glacier Point in Yosemite. This road has been closed for quite awhile. He used his iPhone to pan the scenic horizon.
Gary shared photos from his annual Spring Yosemite trip. He shared some wonderful campfire abstract images as well as Vernal Falls. Others followed the silhouette and Spring is In the Air themes.
Gary shared some wonderful color and b&w landscape photos that used frames and layers. Dramatic cloud layers make his b&w images extra special (and what all us landscape photographers wish for). He also added a lush green & red ocotillo photo for the Flowers theme.
Gary shared some beautiful weather and zoo animal photos.
Gary shared some fun photos of the local burros from a visit to Oatman Az. His other images followed the minimalistic theme with an excellent high-key snowfall photos. Here are the images he shared this month:
Gary shared some of his favorites of 2024.
Gary suggested photographing San Diego’s December Nights celebration Dec 6-7 in Balboa Park. It is crazy crowded with plenty of lights and colors. He continues to enjoy converting his landscape photos into watercolors and shared his most recent “phainting” with some of December Nights photos.
It was Gary’s idea to meetup Nov 2nd 2024 for the Old Town Dia de los Muertos festivities. Thinking it would be a great street photography opportunity. He was right. He was also right in suggesting the San Diego Trolley as a means to get there. It was packed and parking was not available within a mile of the place. Gary also shared a few transportation- themed images. He shoot with a Nikon Z7 full-frame mirrorless camera with a versatile 24-200mm zoom lens. His iPhone 15 Pro camera is his second camera.
Gary participated in the Sept 17th moonrise meet-up at Mission Bay and shared his favorite shot. He enjoys photographing the animals at San Diego Safari Park and had a great shot of a young flamingo with ungainly legs. He like the affect of his duck image flip on it side and had some great macro images. Here are the photos he shared:
Gary enjoys the output of the Waterlogue app he started using last month. He continues to generate some creative watercolor-styled images. The first image of autumn leaves is not AppArt. The others show the original photo and the applied painterly-effects.
