I took a trip up to Yosemite last weekend. At my first stop I noticed a Christmas ornament in the back of my truck that had fallen off a decorated tree I had transported. I stuck it in my vest and used it as a prop in some of my photographs.

I like this particular one because of how the snag mimics the line of Half Dome in the background. I added the ornament in a ‘what the heck’ moment. Kinda like the effect.

F8, 1/200sec, 100mm @ISO100

Keep clicking and Merry Christmas

We finished our trip to the Bay area at Jack London Square. The sunset was spectacular and I tried to catch the effects of the sun rays on the water fountain. Somehow this image reminded me of Christmas. Jesus was born in a small village centuries ago and the effects are visible until today. I hope the gifts we give and receive today brighten up the day and making us thankful.Camera setting: 24-105 lens@45mm, f18, 1/30sec., ISO 100, tripod mounted.

Enjoy!
