Spring Morning, Calero Hills

Spring Morning, Calero Hills. Santa Clara County, California. March 8, 2008. G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.

This is a stitch of four 12MP frames, the result being a highly detailed image that should hold up as a 2′ x 4′ print. (It is probably getting a bit “old” to hear me reporting that the actual image contains far more detail that can possibly be shown in a web-sized image… so I won’t. :-)

This photograph was made along a familiar trail – actually a bit off the familiar trail – in a park I frequently visit in the southern portion of Santa Clara County.

Photographed along the California coast north of Santa Cruz on the first of March. I found a spot at the top of a coastal cliff where the birds flying along the coast came almost directly overhead.

At least once a year I join The Nocturnes (the San Francisco Bay Area night photographers’ group led by Tim Baskerville) to photograph the Mare Island Naval Shipyard. This amazing historical site near Vallejo, California was the first US Navy shipyard on the west coast and dates to the mid-1800s. It was active until the late 1990s. It is a night photographer’s paradise with wonderful old buildings ranging form officers’ homes to dry docks to huge cranes to wonderful old brick factory buildings

Photograph of the San Francisco Ferry Building with the clock tower. A small person in red is seen inside a distant arch.

Believe it or not, but this photo was made during lunch hour on a weekday – a very busy time in San Francisco. I managed to catch an unusual lull in the pedestrian traffic; my other photos of this general scene include many people.
