Sunrise... not yet..

.. a view from our balcony this morning (8 am) -- some early-morning fog with the sunrise -- a Nature's 'watercolour' look to the start of the day.

Sand Mountain... near Fallon, Nevada. Part of a 6 day, 1,600 mile photography roadtrip project across the state of Nevada and back.

Polarizing filter?

Polarizing filter?

No, just a bit of post-processing in Lightroom, from back in 2011. Looking at it, I'm guessing some negative Clarity to soften it up, increasing color saturation, and increasing dark/black levels.

See if this is still there

It is not at all hard to find

.. our apartment's lobby has now been decorated out in Halloween displays ... for my liking, most should have been left where they came from ... but here is one with a more seasonal look, that I rather like.

Not exactly a photo but I saw NBC capture similar footage that they aired during the last SF 49ers game and decided to go get my own. It took a bit of time to stage and get the right angles and such, the drone also has obstacle avoidance so there's little risk, it just stops if something gets in it's flight path.

Ok, now do the Jim "Stonekettle" Wright thing. He likes to use the ultra-wide earth lens with his drone, the one that turns the whole image into a circle.

The DJI software allows for some of those neat effects, not for me but they can be pretty cool.

My impromptu street portrait of Frida, in San Francisco.

As an aside, the real Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera were married for a 2nd time in San Francisco's City Hall in 1940. Diego Rivera was in San Francisco to create his 74' long x 22' high fresco mural called Pan American Unity for the Golden Gate International Exposition held on Treasure Island.
