Photography

Montara Beach

I spent my evening taking night time photos.  Starting off in Montara and ended up in the park I grew up in taking pictures late at night, like the picture below of the rose.

When I got to Beresford Park, I could hear all the way accross the park the rat ti tat tat of teens in the muck of something they probably shouldn’t be doing once the park was closed, let alone if the park were opened.

It was 1AM and I was curious, so I wandered over, while keeping my distance to see if they were doing anything interesting.  Perhaps I would say hi.

It was two guys and two girls clearly with beer in their hands and beer in their stomachs.  As I walked near by, then walked away down another path, I could hear something akin to, “I’m not sure…it seems a bit sketch…”

Rose in the middle of the night

I wandered over next to the community garden and took a few snap shots.  I was on the park premessis, but only for a short period of time.  I could hear the loud kids head from the shelter down to the swing set.  Once they got to the swing set I could hear the girls yelping in what I hope was excitement and the creaking of the swings.  I ended up walking down the sidewalk next to the park and wandered in 20 feet because I saw a rose bush I wanted to photograph.  In the distance I could hear the kids reveling in their midnight excursion.

I noticed a car coming by slowly behind me just as I heard the kids, who were clearly not trying to be subvert in any manner, say “Yeah, that’s a cop!”.

Night Garden

In the middle of the night I brought my point’n’shoot out into the garden and took some pictures. I purposely left the flash on and used it to my advantage.  For example, I put the lens into the nose of a flower and let the flash’s light come in through the petals.

There seemed to be a fair amount of garden spiders out mostly hanging around the porch light so they can snag some yummy moths.  There is conveniently a bamboo “bush” right under it making droplets of dew for the morning to come.
