eight | blur

I took this photo in Shanghai while walking the streets in the evening. I was able to create this effect by setting my ISO very low (ISO 200), and then following the biker with my camera as I took the shot. This provided the "blur" in the background, while keeping the biker in focus.

seven | nightlife

This photo was taken on the streets of Hong Kong at night. I've always been fascinated by the constant glow of neon signs lining the streets of China

six | watch

As you can see, I've fallen a bit behind in my posts. I realized that sometimes, I just can't find time to shoot, edit, and post when I find my free time is limited. I'll be posting 52 of my favorite shots this year. Thought, it will likely not be in a weekly post!

five | tilted

four | inverted

This photo was taken through my car window during the storm we had this week. The view is inverted on the raindrops, which adds a really cool effect to the photo (you'll want to click on the photo to view it full screen to get the full effect).

three | zihuatanejo

This photo was taken up in Napa, along the St. Helena Highway. It was a really foggy weekend, but the Mustard stood out in the vineyards...sort of a "sunshine" on a dreary day. (P.S. - for those who don't know, the title is a reference to the Shawshank Redemption, because this picture reminded me of the field with the lone tree where Andy visited before going to Zihuatanejo)

two | portal

Took this photo of Sea Cliff on a hike at Lands End

one | anchor christmas

I took this photo of an Anchor Christmas Ale magnum by "light painting" onto the label. I opened up the exposure, and "painted" red and green light (from my iPod Touch) on either side of the label to get the above effect
