Nikon D70 in the Garden

Here's a photo taken yesterday with my D70. Some tweaking on the highlights in iPhoto but the camera did most of the work. I am considering getting a D40 to use cause of its smaller size. The D70 is rather large. And I do miss a swing out LCD screen.

You can see the image on my Facebook page here:

Adding a photo to one's website helps with Google crawlers too! So, enjoy the photo and consider getting out and shooting some roses of your own!!

Solid Air Remains A Favorite Musical Group

Saw them again last night at French Garden Restaurant, Sebastopol, and enjoyed them as much as ever. Found out that you can audition their songs at CDBaby.com and buy their music there as well. They have been performing here in Sonoma county for several years now, typically at outdoor festivals (like the Forestville Youth Barbcue this weekend) and are always a crowd pleaser. I recommend that you catch them when they play in your area.

Spring Has Sprung: Photo To Prove It Here:

Kay enjoys the wisteria while it lasts. Delicate, fragrant but short lived.
Photo taken downtown Sebastopol by my trusty Nikon D70s, set on raw resolution which automatically gives me a jpg work print and fill flash boosted by half a stop. I have not processed the image so the exposure is a little hot.

Did I Mention That Spring Is Definitely Here in Sebastopol?

Well, here's a picture to prove it. Gravensteins in the making!

Halloween and the Living's Easy in Sonoma County!

On this last day of October, I thought I would pass along a favorite photo of mine, taken with the Nikon Coolpix 5700 on a tripod from the bed of my pickup, showing what the vineyards look like this time of year. Care to guess the name of the winery? Hint: it's on River Road, west of Santa Rosa and East of Graton.




Just remembered this shot, taken last Thanksgiving, this in Alexander Valley at the Hanna Winery. If you need a recommendation for Thanksgiving dinner, their Sauvignon Blanc is one of Kay and my faves! Never fails to please.
