It’s a whole new day in the Bay Area- blue sky and white puffy clouds! I snapped this photo of Mt. Diablo from the top of a parking garage when we went out for brunch this morning. This photo was taken (using the Sunny 16 rule) with the 35mm 1.8 lens that was on the camera. I switched to my 70-300mm lens for the rest of the photos, but this one is sharper. Interesting. . .
f/16, 1/250, ISO 250 @35mm
Yes, that’s another parking garage in the photo. We were in downtown Walnut Creek after all!
Bad News: We had to drive the rainy freeway today- slick roads, lots of rain, and lots of cars.
Good News: The glimpses through the rain and clouds of Mt. Diablo, topped with snow!
f/22, 1/100, ISO 250, 35mm
Hmmm . . . these photos look familiar! That’s because I’m using photos from this blog in a storyboard (collage). I just learned how to do this in Photoshop (you can do this in PS Elements too), and am feeling very proud of myself! No, I didn’t do this from scratch- I used a template. You can download a free storyboard from MCP actions, and yes, you can buy them too. And if you are REALLY clever, you can make them (that would not be me…).
