Golden Gate Mornings (Feb, 2015)

Feb 04, 2015: 0533 to 0538: Not a 100% healthy... nose is stuffed up... bon-i-fide mouth breather i am ... ugh... i must be getting old... used to be that i could kick colds in 24 hours... it has been three days now... well... look at it this way, my goal of exiting by 50 is now much more realistic?

Feb 05, 2015: 0525 to 0550: Beautiful morning to be shooting on the bridge... and the day before the anticipated (and much needed) Pacific storm is supposed to hit... well, we shall see if the forecast is better than the NY Blizzard of 2015 that never was!

Feb 09. 2015: 0717 to 0719: Late start today, as Jenn is flying home... but, first day light shot in a long while 8)

Feb 11, 2015: 0539 to 0546: Beautiful day for a photo shoot this morning! such clear views! and light... on the water!

Feb 12, 2015: 0512 to 0521: Another beautiful morning... i was yet again alone at the Vista Point North, though the parking lot is quite well populated -- RV with car, and three other sedans! i always get a wee bit jealous of the RVs... what a nice way to greet a day, sunrise over San Francisco and the Golden Gate Bridge there to greet you.
In the second pano, you can catch the Zipper Lane Vehicle doing its bit to convert the 3 lane North Bound lanes to 2 lanes... perhaps i will just call the vehicle the Zippler Pull from here on out.

Feb 16, 2015: What a great opportunity to capture the moon over the Bay Bridge... but the settings i had on rendered the bridge shots over saturated... so the photos turned out to be absolute crap... sigh... oh well

Feb 18, 2015: 0553 to 0608: Good crisp shots today... with dramatic clouds hanging over the city and lit by the light of the city... a good morning...

Feb 19, 2015: 05 something to nearly 0600: fixed some panos from Feb 16... found a new function (new to me) on the Huggin program to blend exposures... so, after the first two panos from today... where the difference in exposure was much better handled, i will put out the Feb 16, fixed, panos

and... the fixed Feb 16 panos...

Feb 23, 2015: Daylight!! it's been a while hasn't it?

Feb 24, 2015: 0549 to 0606: A fine morning, left to my own devices, photographing the bay as the daylight slowly trickles in... quite nice and quite beautiful... oh, but for the lack of time...

Feb 25, 2015: 0551 to 0602: ahhh... the approach of the daylight savings time change is neigh... and the encroaching dawning of the day agrees! be nice to not have to come home and leave home in the dark for a few days 8)

Feb 26, 2015: 0542 to 0602: Catching the sun coming up again... but, due to work scheduling, had to tear myself away... sigh... tomorrow is predicted to rain... and i need to be in way early... so i may not be able to take advantage of this almost daylight savings time for some great photos... oh well, we do what we can. A bit foggy and misty this morning... though it looks like i smudge my lense, it is completely atmospheric... heh
