A little slice of life
For those of you into that most civilized of games, cricket, the boy on the wall appears to be bowling a particularly mean googly.
Spotted in San Mateo, CA on Christmas Eve.
The Bay Area Rapid Transit subway in San Francisco is fast, not too costly and sometimes clean. It’s a great way to get around in a congested city and offers lots of picture opportunities, assuming some bureaucrat doesn’t apprehend you and try to confiscate your camera.
Once in the city center, the magnificent hanging light display in the Hyatt Hotel is something to behold:
They get the best landscapes
It pays to get up early!
Some of the best pictures are one hundred yards from your doorstep. Or less..
Given how much time we spend in our homes, it’s surprising that many photographers feel they have to journey to remote, exotic locations in search of picture opportunities. They arrive tired, are in a strange location which they have no time to ‘learn’, and leave frustrated. You must make the return flight and have to make do with whatever weather is around at the time.
By contrast, the circle centered on your home, with a 100 yard radius, provides some of the best photographic opportunities. You know the area, are rested and have no deadlines. There is no return flight. And you can wait for the weather to come to you.
Here are a couple more snaps, taken over the years, all within 100 yards or less of where my bed was the previous night. Today’s entry concludes this five part series.
