Grand Slam
Just like it says. Bases were loaded when Justin came up. He watch the first strike go by and the second one as well. The third pitch was a screaming fastball right down the pipe. His swing was timed perfectly and hit that ball 6 inches out of the shortstops reach. It only climbed about another foot or so by the time it smacked in to the Ruby’s Diner sign that was just past the 200′ fence at center field.
Road To Aguora
This shot was taken in almost total darkness. The only light I could see was to the left coming from the street lamp and the soft orange lingering from the sunset. This is on a side road that parallels the 101 freeway about 2 miles from Calabasas Ca. See tha large one on Flickr http://goo.gl/7gcyb.
Mr. Blue Sky Painting
Got some great news. My photo is being painted. My Drum teacher (Steve Roth | www.drumset4u.com) has a daughter who is a painter. She saw my photo and is in process of creating a painting of it. I’ll post an image of the painting once she is done.
San Gabriel Sunset
I went to a beer tasting event at the Stuffed Sandwich (link) in San Gabriel and snapped this on my way home. (more here). The tasting was an event put on by a home brewing club named The Maltese Falcons (link). The Falcons lay claim to being the oldest home brewing club in America. On a whim, weeks before the tasting, I attended one of their meetings. It was in the back of The Home Beer, Wine, Cheesemaking Shop. Just a bunch of guys and gals that are interested and very knowledgable in home brewing. I’d like to run a micro brew once I retire. I sampled some of the members home brews and was very impressed. They told me about the tasting event and said it was one of those “must do” events.
Golden Hour
In a pinch, I used my sunglasses as a filter to get these golden tones. I really like taking shots along California’s Coastline. This particular day I was gifted with some spectacular clouds.
In photography, the golden hour (sometimes known as magic hour, especially in cinematography) is the first and last hour of sunlight during the day,[1] when a specific photographic effect is achieved due to the quality of the light.
Steve Roth
In the left of this shot is Steve Roth (link), drummer extraordinaire. I met Steve in August of 2010 when I got a wild hair to learn the drums. He now comes to the house weekly and attempts to teach me the fine art of drumming. In this shot, Steve is playing with his band Into The Mixx (link). I asked if I could come and watch the show and take some shots and he said sure. More shots of the band can be found here (link)
Mr. Blue Sky
This was shot along The California Coastline on Highway 1. It’s about 5 miles south of Zuma Beach.
