when enough gathers, you have to fall somewhere

Winter in San Francisco!

  • excellent stuff... love the bokeh and colors
  • Motion blur on the last one was achieved by keeping the shutter open for longer than normal and shooting at a small aperture (letting only a little bit of light in). If the shutter was open for the longer period of time but with the normal aperture size, the photo would come out overexposed. I compensated a little in LR, but what I really needed was a ND filter to allow me to increase time that the shutter was open even more, because it reduces the amount of light that enters the aperture even further.
  • Good photos, but not enough reflection of trees in the water shot. Otherwise acceptable.

    How'd you get the motion blur in the last one - were people running for sales?
