On The Way To Alcatraz

Last Tuesday evening, I got on a bus with thirty or so other photographers and left Palo Alto to rendezvous with a few more at a dock in San Francisco. From there, we would ride out to Alcatraz Island for a night photo shoot. After leaving about a half hour late, we had to turn around fifteen minutes into the drive to get the loaner Tamron lenses that were still back at the store. The drive to San Francisco at rush hour is nobody's idea of fun, and we ended up leaving late from the dock and missing the sunset on Alcatraz. The boat ride was choppy and slow, and anyone on deck (most of us) got sprayed. If it looks like the photographs have different color temperatures and tone characteristics, you're not seeing things. I was just trying to get a variety of styles and experimenting with software from Nik and Topaz. I used three cameras, all from Sony. The NEX 7, the A7, and the RX 100 III. Next, on the Rock!
