A few friends from Chicago visited us in San Francisco a few week ago. I haven’t filtered through all the pictures yet, but I wanted to share four pictures that have quickly become my favorite.
“Cheers” . The first picture is a picture I took during our wine tasting at Stryker in the Alexander Valley Appalachia of Sonoma. It was rainy day but the views at the winery were fantastic. If you prefer red wines and want to visit a small winery with great views, we’d recommend making a stop at Stryker. We made the stop thanks to a recommendation by our friend Jason Petty (check out his Social Wine Project on facebook).
“Gorgeous in the Rain” – The second picture does not need more explanation. This beautiful women makes me feel like the luckiest man on the planet. She also drives a ton of traffic to my sight. It was a rainy day so I adjusted the temperature a bit and lowered the clarify a bit to give it the soft look. Small changes to an already gorgeous picture.
“Street Shadows” – The third picture is one that I took at the top of Telegraph Hill. The sun was starting to set and I was taking the picture from the opposite side of the hill, causing the shadow effective.
“Rocky Sunset” – The fourth picture is of the SF sunset at Land’s End. The original picture I took was a little bland. I took it without a filter and didn’t do a good job of exposing the rocks. I was just about to delete it when I came across a Lightroom preset that brought out the color in the sunset. I messed with the exposure near the bottom of the photo to give the picture a different touch.
