Walnut Creek & Diablo - a photo on Flickriver

Walnut Creek & Diablo

I'm so thankful for good friends. I have made a few in the photographic community and they really add the spice to the life I live.

Case in Point…

Having come home from a three week trip to Pennsylvania, I was quite content to just sit around the house and let my camera collect dust as I post processed through various images collected (35 Gb worth) during my visit to the east coast. Miguel (Amigo) however would have none of that, and called me stating "I need to get out of Oakland!" and so a meetup was suddenly born.

I had been spying this spot for quite some time, but it was Miguel who got me to get off my butt and go explore the local ridge over Lafayette. I must have looked at this spot a hundred times on Google earth, but sometimes it takes that outside factor to motivate.

Last night I had a similar experience with my good friend Paul (Protaganisto) who got me to go up to Grizzly Peak where I tried out my hand once again at time lapse photography (another failure, but another lesson under my belt, which was not to try using ISO 1000 for time lapse when using a Nikon D90).

I owe many of my images I post here to my friends who get me out of my comfort zone and out of my house. I am in their debt.
