#1 Google Street View Virtual Tour in Phoenix AZ
This is a very colorful wall painting, when I took photowalk in San Francisco, CA. This really make difference to the community when people walk by. It also shows happy people supposed to be.
I did enhance the photo with saturated color and higher contrast. You don’t really pay attention on the windows.
I recently discovered the new face wall at Flagstaff, where I had good time taking many HDR Photos.
How lovely these old couples are? I was taking a photowalk in San Francisco, CA. These two old people walked slowly crossing the street with holding hands. This is so far the most romantic photo I’ve ever take other than the “Two of US” photo.
My wife and I have been together for over 23 years. We still have long way to go, but I would love to take her hand and travel around the world just like these two lovely couples.
This is so far my best wildlife photography. These are the photos I took on my Mexico Cruise vacation to Cabo San Lucas. On our way back to US, we saw so many wild dolphins in the sea. I quickly pick up my Nikon D70S and start shooting. I probably shoot about 70 images and only few are perfect. The following two are just my favorite shots.
It’s amazing how many dolphins are swimming side by side along the ship. They come and go in just few minutes. Looks like they just want to show off their natural skills.
It was a nice trip and I saw many things that I was not expecting in my life. Have you been to Cabo San Lucas?
There is a new photography trick I am practicing. I don’t know what it is called, but I would like make the focused subject look like a tiny toy. I got this photo at Cabo San Lucas in Mexico. When our cruise ship leave the harbor, Mexico Federation solider are stand by and check up with any illegal activities. So I snap this shot and used Photoshop magic to blur the sea water around the little boat. The boat is not the primary subject in the photo and stand out from the rest of the sea water. It somehow looks tiny.
I am not sure if you can see it the same way, but this won’t be the last phone I will do to minimize the object.
Thanks to Kristi from Photostry.com! This type of photography is called Tilt-Shift Effect.
This is one of the most beautiful places I have visited in my life. This is our last stop on the Mexico Cruise vacation in 2006. Cabo San Lucas is well known of his “Land’s End” nickname. The lover’s beach is also really famous. Since that trip, we’ve Cabo few times. We saw different color and theme every time. The following photo was taken in the early morning at about 5:30AM, while my wife and most people are still sleeping in their room. I am so glad that I got up early. Otherwise, this photo will not exist. You can find this photo on many page on my personal blog. I created a header image out of it on the about page.
You probably see the following picture all over the Internet. It’s very famous. It looks like a dinosaur is drinking the water. I actually don’t remember the name of this place. You can get on a small boat and land on the lover’s beach on the other side of these rocks.
The lover’s beach is the only place in the world that has two ocean on both side. It will only take you less than 5 minutes to cross from one side to the other side. The rocks on the beach looks like lovers hugging each other.
I would not call this really photography, but they are burned into my memory forever. If you don’t go there once in your lifetime, you would not understand what I mean. My life is good since then. You can read more about my Mexico travel story in the past on my personal blog.
Really. Fishing alone isn’t my thing. However, I can go hiking in the mountain or jungle alone. Fishsing just isn’t my interest. I bet this guys has a lot to think about when he is fishing. This photo was taken at the Saguaro lake in Mesa, AZ.
I like this photo, because the reflection of the lights and rich color of the shirt. What do you think?
This Water jetski was taken at Ixtapa, Mexico in 2006. The beach is so quiet. The interesting thing is that we have to take a taxi from the cruise ship harbor. It took us 45 minutes to get to the beach. It was a scary ride, because we don’t speak any Spanish and the driver don’t speak any English. So we were so afraid got lost and taken to somewhere dangerous. The cities in between are all very poor and dirty.
Luckily, the drive are very nice. It was a great ride. That makes me live Mexico and their people.
I really like how the boats are lined up. Especially, there is a small white boat at in the water. If I have the Photomatix Pro at that time, I can really turn this photo into a great HDR image. This photo was taken at Acapulco, Mexico. The first stop of our Mexico Cruise trip in 2006. This was taken by my Nikon D70S.
