London Tower Bridge on the Thames River

by

My first time in London was in 2014 and I only had one day to explore the area. Fortunately, the city is very easy to navigate and find landmarks. On this overcast day, the best photo opportunity was the London Tower Bridge over the Thames river. While the greyness of the bridge blended in with the skyline, I was able to find some color in the foreground during my photo … [Read more...] about London Tower Bridge on the Thames River

Tomales Bay Near Point Reyes, California

by

If you go to the Tomales Bay Oyster company, make sure that you bring everything but the oysters. I learned that the hard way, as we were caught with no drinks, side dishes or equipment for shucking oysters. Next time I will come more prepared. On the bright side, if you don't eat the oysters you can just explore around Tomales bay, which is not a bad alternative. At low … [Read more...] about Tomales Bay Near Point Reyes, California

Budapest Parliament Building at Night

It is hard to miss the Budapest Parliament building when it is lit up at night. You can see it from pretty much any vantage point in the city with a river view.

The hike takes a couple of hours to complete, but you will have plenty of time to rest while admiring the views below. If you go in … [Read more...] about View of San Francisco from Twin Peaks

Abandoned Shed Along the Point Reyes National Seashore

by

  Last summer Mrs. Jeffsetter and I enjoyed a weekend hike at the Point Reyes National Seashore just northwest of San Francisco. The area reminded me a lot of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. Beautiful cliffs, raging waters, and lighthouses for boat traffic. While the day was overcast, the redness of this "shed" - at least that is what I am calling it - really … [Read more...] about Abandoned Shed Along the Point Reyes National Seashore

Matthias Church in Budapest

by

It's fun to look back at how much progress I have made with photography in the past year. This photo, taken in January of 2014 is a solid representation of the Matthias church in Budapest. But I think I could do better now. Part of it is the camera, part of it is the technique. Part of it is that I wasn't using a tripod and didn't take multiple photos of the same image to … [Read more...] about Matthias Church in Budapest
