Okay I’m biased because I was part of the team that built their website, Kasa Indian Eatery, but really!  The food is awesome!  Check them out. Here is a shot of their opening day.

Chinese Pagota in Yunnan

Another shot, shot on a backup camera (Nikon D200) while in China. This is Chuxiong’s pagoda, which is about 8-9 stories high and allows one to view a 360° panoramic view of the city, nestled in the mountains of Yunnan.

Costonoa Beach Photo, California Beach Photography T2 Photo

Here is a shot of the famous lighthouse right up the road from Costanoa on the California coast. It was shot with a Nikon D3, again, using HDR by using three photos. No tripod was used, but because it can shoot up to nine NEF (raw format) pictures per second, shots like these turn out okay.

Costanoa, California HDR Picture T2 Photo

Costanoa Beach next to Lighthouse, California, HDR, T2 PhotographyJust got back from Costanoa and we took this shot of the sunset. There was some sort of movie or television production going on right behind us at the lighthouse.

Used Photomatrix Pro to HDR merge the levels, using a Nikon D3 — I think we shot five NEFs, bracketing the exposure by .3 to .5 each stop — so that would take about 1/2 a second to shoot five photos.

Back from Yunnan, May 2008

Just got back from China to visit the parents.  I noticed a lot of newly paved roads and shiny crosswalks.  My brother Tom came along this time and brought his Nikon.
