One of the challenges with travel photography is that many locations are closed during the best light. This means you have to get creative or take advantage of other weather conditions such as a cloudy sky. Fortunately, San Francisco has a lot of fog (affectionately named Karl the fog) which can make for dramatic photos.

Photos From The Marin Headlands
A couple weekends ago, I took a trip to the Marin Headlands to see the Point Bonita Lighthouse. Normally, I would do something like this early in the morning or later in the afternoon to get the best light but the lighthouse has very limited hours, only being open Sundays and Mondays from 12:30am to 3:30pm. I stoped by the welcome center and unfortunately found out that the lighthouse was closed do to a landslide on the walking path so, change of plans. I took advantage of being in the beautiful Marin Headlands and got a few photos.
Prague: So many photos to edit
I am back from my trip to Prague and will be posting photos as soon as I can. It was amazing and I got some beautiful photographs. I am diligently editing and culling to put together an album but there are a lot so it will be a few days. I’m also going to be doing an article on my workflow while traveling and possible one covering my thoughts on DSLR vs. Mirrorless. So stay tuned.
For a short excursion near Portland, check out the Cedar Creek Grist Mill
About 45 minutes north of Portland, after a scenic drive through the country, you will find the Cedar Creek Grist Mill. Built in 1876, the mill was restored to working condition by The Friends of the Cedar Creek Grist Mill in 1989 and is now on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a great place for photos with a rushing river, scenic foliage, and a covered bridge. I visited in the early spring and it was still wet and overcast. The clouds help make the light better for photos as the mill is only open mid afternoon on the weekends.
