A question for my San Francisco friends

——————————————————————-
We're taking our 14-year-old niece to the Exploratorium tomorrow, and I was wondering whether it would be worth it to bring a tripod along…are there a lot interesting things to shoot, or is it pretty much all a "you've got to be there to appreciate that" kind of thing?
(I've already confirmed that they are allowed).

Bonsai Revisited

—————————–
How many sets of photos have you taken that you never took the time to go back and play with?  This is one of those from my 50th B-day trip to Tahoe last summer, and although I wish I'd had a dark ND filter to help smooth the water a bit more, this brings back some of the great memories of that evening spent with my sweet wife shooting Bonsai Rock on the east shore.

Take a look through those old photos sometime…you might stumble on a forgotten gem.

Photoshop : Non-Destructive Creativity

The Special Stuff is Just Surreal

————————————————
Surreal, you say? Well, have you been down here?
This is where they keep the special stuff..behind a locked gate deep in the caves beneath the +Castello di Amorosa. Reserve, they call it…I imagine reserved for the King and Queen!
It is dark and eerie down here, with a hint of mystery and atmosphere  of centuries gone by, and it feels almost like you're peering into the past. 

If you ever get the opportunity to take the castle tour here in the Napa Valley, it is well worth the trip!

Another Golden Gate Beauty

—————————————-
I found this lovely rose in the gardens of Golden Gate Park not too long ago, and have enjoyed finessing it different ways in post.
Does anyone else find post-processing flowers to be very relaxing??
