California Sunsets: Rolling Fog, Rolling Waves
http://etchedinpixels.com/photo/california-sunsets-rolling-fog-rolling-waves/

Normally I find myself fighting the fog and haze, but it really worked in this
first shot from yesterday. I love the way the mists gather in the California
coastal foothills.

The second image is from 2011. Land's End is a beautiful place to see the sunset

Sunset Beach Concert in Half Moon Bay
http://etchedinpixels.com/photo/sunset-beach-concert-in-half-moon-bay/

The other day I heard about an art installation-cum-concert venue out at the

sunset concerts ever since. [...]

Why You Should Expose to the Right (And What that Means)

non-linear distribution of data in the histogram.  The problem with dynamic
contrast actually led me to discover [...]

The Strobist just posted an interesting article on how long your speedlight
might last. It's a good, sweet and short read over here.

Private Property, Tripods, and You
http://etchedinpixels.com/photo/private-property-tripods-and-you/

I just read an interesting article over at the ATMTX Photo Blog, "I'm a
Professional because I use a tripod".  He was at Santana Row shopping center
in San Jose, CA shooting night photos when a security guard asked him to stop,
basically on the grounds that he was using a tripod and this made him [...]
