Quick Drive Around The City

I had to get out of the house today as a way of taking a break from building Ikea furniture. I took this time to get some shots in on what was otherwise a very chilly (although normal for this time of year) day in San Francisco. I’m pretty pleased with the results. I didn’t do any heavy handed editing in Lightroom, but the photos aren’t as sharp as they have been in the past. The light was pretty low and I didn’t have a tripod so I’m sure there was some camera shake involved. Anyway, it’s all about the process and getting plenty of practice. I’m enjoying this as a way to get out of the house and not think about any of the drama that has been 2018. Here’s to 2019 bringing more photos, more use to this site, and definitely a new hobby for myself. Cheers.

I think I like this less vivid shot the most.

We always get a portrait practice shot in when we take the cameras out.
