David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Common Grackle (?). Viewed outside my hotel room at the Marriott Residence Inn in South San Francisco, California. Image taken with a Nikon D300 and 18-200 mm VR lens (ISO 1600, 135 mm, f/5.6, 1/160 sec).
Before going to work, I took some images of a sailboat at anchor in Oyster Bay. Two of the images were combined using the Photoshop CS5 HDR module.
A couple of images from my office while working in San Francisco on the first day of Spring. Although there was heavy rain last night and this morning, the sky cleared later in the day. The site where I am working near the UCSF campus looks over a large construction site for a new Hospital. I needed to work on the white balance since the image was taken through a window tinted green (auto white balance within the camera 6008 K) . The 2nd version has the white balance corrected (6514 K). Later on when I returned to my hotel I saw this sailboat at anchor in Oyster Bay.
