Carrizo Badlands Overlook

Here's a photo I took while at the Carrizo Badlands Overlook at the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park.

Alfa Romeo Hood

I took this photo of the front of an Alfa Romeo grill at the San Diego Automotive Museum.

Tree on Volcan Mountain

I thought this tree had a little bit of character, so I decided to shoot a picture of it.

Mission Trails Black and White Photo

I decided to convert this to black and white. This is a photo I took at Mission Trails Park a couple of days ago.

My latest photo slideshow

Here is my latest photo slideshow on Associated Content:

California Fan Palms in Borrego Palm Canyon

Chollas Lake Fishing Platform

This is one of the platforms that the kids fish off of at Chollas Lake. It was empty the day that I took this because it was in the middle of the afternoon.

More Chollas Lake

Here's another photo I took of Chollas Lake.

Fletcher Cove

Here's a shot of some people enjoying Fletcher Cover a few weeks ago.

Urban Sunset

I had to adjust the color of the sky, slightly, as it was overexposed when I processed the raw images so that the houses wouldn't be too dark. I just liked the way the light washed over these buildings.

Another picture from Fletcher Cove

Here's another beach picture from Fletcher Cove. I took a little of the blue out of it and warmed it up a bit.

Mission Trails, Rim Trail

This is a digital photo taken from Mission Trails Park Rim Trail looking down into the valley to the northeast.

Desert in Spring

Here's another shot of some flowers with Indian Head Mountain (it's actual name) in the background.

Palo Verde Wash

I went out walking into the Palo Verde Wash in the Anza-Borrego Badlands. I had lots of car trouble, but I was able to shoot some nice photos which I will post over the next week or so. Here's a photo of me on the road about a mile and a half or so from Highway 22.

Muddy Trail

We've been having a bit of rain here. While I was at Mission Trails Park, I spotted this drying mud on the Rim Trail. It hadn't rained in a few days, but it was still wet.

Mission Trails Park Rim Trail

I took this picture on the Rim Trail at around 3pm. f/3.5, 1/500 100ISO.

Path to East Mission Trails Park

This is a picture of the path to east Mission Trails Park. It was taken with automatic settings. One has to be careful taking pictures here as you never know when someone is going to go down this path on their bike at 30mph or more.

View from Iron Mountain

Wow, I didn't realize how long it's been since I last posted. This is a view looking west toward Poway from the 3/4 mile mark on the Iron Mountain trail. I don't know if I really like the foreground contrast, though.

Another Black and White Conversion

Here is another black and white conversion, but I used a conversion extension in Photoshop Elements that I got from Photo Freebies. I have posted the colored photo of this shot before. I think this program did a better job at capturing a range of grays than just converting it to grayscale.

East Side of Iron Mountain

I saw this cross on the east side of Iron Mountain between Poway and Ramona. This photo was taken with my 35mm camera with manual settings.

Shooting into the Sun

I try not to take pictures in any general direction of the sun with my little digital camera. But, I thought it had a nice effect. I did a levels adjustment on the sky to make it a little more dramatic. This was in Santa Ysabel last Sunday morning.
