Maybe not the same as a full-fledged wedding, but the views still beautiful. This is an HDR photo right as the sun started to set on Napa Valley.

Sunset on a San Francisco Skyscraper
This photo was literally taken through my apartment window in mid-market as I scrambled to capture yet another beautiful San Francisco sunset. The photo is HDR, taken with my Sony A7R camera. The 3 exposures (-3, 0, +3) were merged in photomatix to form this image. Because it was taken through a window and hand-held, the photo is fairly grainy.

Delta’s Newest Changes are a Net-Gain for Me
Delta has made yet another announcement about the changes to the airline in 2015. Most of the articles I have read on the topic are fairly negative, claiming that these “improvements” to the Delta program are hardly anything to write home about. While they are likely correct that these changes do not represent a major improvement over the programs that Delta already has … [Read more...] about Delta’s Newest Changes are a Net-Gain for Me
