In the past I have been expressing myself photographically mostly in black and white. Every now and then I'll create a color image as the photograph itself just needs to have the different hues visible. Aside from color or black and white, I tend to use whatever is the tool I have at the moment. For example, usually for landscape or cityscape, I will use a view camera or medium format (2 x 2). While walking and photographing, I carry a 35mm either film or digital. Some say that one needs to concentrate on one format, one camera. I guess I don't follow that line of thought. Really, I just enjoy making photographs, no matter what the tool. As John Sexton says, "Whatever melts your butter." Just my own ramblings and thoughts. This image had to expressed in color.
Holidays in the City (161224)
Wishing everybody a wonderful holiday in whichever way you choose to celebrate. Make good use of time with family and friends.
Point Lobos (161216)
Recently, I took a friend to Point Lobos State Park, just South of Carmel, CA. There is photography history there as we first stopped at Weston Beach, named after the Ed Weston's Family. In the first photograph taken by Dwight Morita, it may look like I just got drenched, but I didn't. It does show what photographers do to find the photograph. The second image is what I saw from the vantage point.
Yosemite Fall Colors (161114)
Ok, so I did mention Fall colors and gave you a black and white photograph. So below are a couple with Fall colors. This is as of November 6, 2016. The leaves may have fallen by now, but there were plenty of trees that hadn't turned at that time.
Yosemite Fall 2016
Just this past weekend, I was able to go to Yosemite National Park in the valley. The water is running and Fall colors are appearing. The animals are present. Many deer, a bear with a cub and a bobcat all were visible in the daylight hours.
