I found this sign in the Captain’s quarters on the Red Oak Liberty Ship. It speaks for itself.

Enjoy and have fun with your images!

I found this sign in a restaurant in Benicia, CA. The light was not the greatest and I photographed at 1/15 sec. I wish the image would have been a little bit sharper but I still like it. By the way, the waitress there was very nice and friendly!

Keep on photographing!

Let’s continue worsking on signs this week.

It looks like an old barrel was converted into a sign. Enjoy and keep on looking.

I found this sign at a local pumpkin patch. Enjoy and have a great week-end!

These signs are interesting. The top sign is in English the bottom one in Spanish. In addition, no Government Dollars funded this sign. I talked to the Gentleman who lived right behind the sign and he told me that Rockhill Lane was hard to find and the Government had no money to put up a sign so he did it himself. After he had done it the local authorities felt embarrassed and put up a second sign.

Enjoy and keep on looking an photographing!

There are signs everywhere, especially during election time. Go out and photograph signs!

I photographed these election signs on CA State Hwy 580 driving eastbound towards Fremont, CA.

Enjoy and keep on photographing.

I photographed this rust spot on an old ship. I believe someone tried to paint over a rust spot and the paint did not stop the oxidation process.

Enjoy and have a nice week-end.

I photographed this leaf with a wide open lens creating just a very narrow depth of field. Notice that the subject has no connection to the edge of the image.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

I photographed this flower at a fountain in walnut Creek, CA. I used my 85mm prime lens at f1.8 to blur the background.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

This is a very interesting exercise. Instead of filling as much as possible of the image frame with the subject, make the subject small and have lots of space around it. The matter of fact is, the subject, in this image the leaf, should not count for more 20% of the frame.

In order to blur the background as much as possible use your lens wide open. I shot this image with a prime 50mm lens at f2.8.

Enjoy and create great images!
