I was taking my mom's wedding pictures and had an opportunity to snap some pictures of the surrounding foliage. The park overlooks the Golden Gate Bridge and this old WWII battery. It was a very post... Nature Ben 2010-07-29T22:56:23-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000221.html Needed a break, so was playing around with some pictures I took this spring. Loved how this photo of Mountain Laurel blossoms turned out. Very cool colors, love it!...

I thought some came out really... People Ben 2009-08-19T15:39:43-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000219.html Took this image while on a trip to see family for Thanksgiving. It was really incredible to watch the fog roll in and cover the entire beach and coastline. I felt like I was sitting right up there in the clouds. This place specifically is right up on top...

I was terribly sick and had been throwing up the last few days from some awful bug that stuck like the plague while at the lake with some friends for...

Right after a storm is one of my favorite times to walk... Nature Ben 2008-08-17T15:49:05-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000216.html This image is cropped from the original. I had a hard time trying cropping this image because I liked the whole scene of the baby cardinal in the nest but at the same time wanted to focus in on the fragile helpless nature of the bird in the nest....

I had only seen this bird before in fleeting moments while hiking and never close enough to get a photo. At first I didn't know what this bird was but was amazed at the beautiful colors... Nature Ben 2008-07-06T13:26:20-06:00 http://www.1adventure.com/archives/000214.html Loved how this image came out and even more spectacular it was shot with an Apple iPhone. The phone's camera carries only a 1 megapixel camera and uses all the surrounding light(no flash). Sometimes it takes a really good picture. This is a photo of Mt. Princeton or Yale...

I had originally spotted it in the window literally thrashing around under a cedar tree and thought at first it was a roadrunner, but couldn't figure how it would have such orange eyes. So I spent...

She had contacted me a while back and asked if she could use my photo Greyhound Peering Out for a painting she was doing for an exhibition to benefit greyhound dogs. I have read a...

There are several actually, but this one is what I need for general shooting and good people shots in lower light. It being expensive was one of the delays in buying it,...

I am using it as it was how the locals and everyone else referred to the people that begged for money in Fatima. This girl and a friend of... People Ben 2008-01-26T19:19:35-06:00
