East Bay Summer

Unable to sleep, I headed into work just after 4a to grab a few things that I’d need for the day. On my way home, I saw a picturesque sunrise on the water. Got home, grabbed my camera and rode my bike back to the river to snap a few pics.

This was my favorite combination of colors, composition, and reflections.

And here are the runner ups. I wish I had noticed the bird flying towards the boat and switched to a higher shutterspeed, I only captured it by dumb luck. Ah well, better to have gotten it blurry than not gotten it.


At night, Emily and I drove over to a large field to stargaze a bit. With Saturn and Jupiter so close to each other, it made for some nifty shots. If you zoom in on the close-up of Jupiter (it’s the largest dot in the sky) you can make out 3 of its moons! (and a picture of Scorpio for good measure)
