Picture of the Day

quick little overnighter in san francisco to get the wife's visa for a china trip in a coupla weeks...

not really a photo trip but a nice walk around the marina district with a good dinner and surprisingly easy trip to the chinese consulate...

and a quick time killer at the wharf

We had some real serious storms in MA today. A Couple confirmed tornadoes touched down out west in the state (not common here at all). Major electric storms blew through the rest of the state. Got a couple lightning shots for the first time tonight.

It's fireworks shot using focus blur.

You can start in focus and move out of focus during the exposure like this:

...or start out of focus and drag it in:
