Shadow Cliffs Regional Park (3/4/2017) - Pleasanton, CA

On March 4th, 2017, I took a trip to Shadow Cliffs Regional Park in Pleasanton, CA. A lot of them are scenery photos of the flooding that took place in the park from the recent San Francisco Bay Area mega storms. Here are the photos I shot that day. A travel vlog was shot during March too and it can be viewed here.

A photo of the flood levels along North Arroyo Trail. It has been a while since the mega storms so the flooding has subsided a bit. You can see where the water level used to be from the change colors on the plants. I thought the sudden change in color was sort of interesting, so I took a photo.

Birds & Flooding - Shadow Cliffs Regional Park (Pleasanton, CA) - YouTube Video


Birds and flooding video from Shadow Cliffs Regional Park in Pleasanton, CA. The video footage was shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR Camera on February 27th, 2017. The flooding in the park was caused by several mega storms that rained down on the San Francisco Bay Area recently.

Sorry for the shakiness and badly focused sections of the video. This was one of the first few wildlife and scenery videos I've shot on DSLR.

Bird Species:
  • Bufflehead (Bucephala albeola)
  • Great Tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus)
  • Mallard Duck (Anas platyrhynchos)
  • Canada Goose (Branta canadensis)
  • American Coot (Fulica americana)

Bunny & Pleasanton Flooding - February Vlog (Part 2)


I shot quite a lot of vlog content in the month of February. I decided to split the content into 3 parts. You can find the other 2 parts here:
In this vlog, I show you my pet bunny Berg and flooding of the Arroyo Del Valle Creek in Pleasanton, CA. I know you guys love my pet bunny Berg, so in this video, you can watch him do bunny business. I also shot videos of the flooded Arroyo Del Valle Creek. The creek has now turned into a river due to the recent San Francisco Bay Area mega storms. There are many downed trees in the creek, and the creek has risen to a level where parts of the trail is now underwater.

Blog post of my cellphone photos from Arroyo Del Valle Creek shot on 2/16/2017 can be viewed here.

You can find the Nitecore HC60 Headlamp here.

Shadow Cliffs Regional Park - Pleasanton, CA (Cellphone Photos)

It rained again a couple of days ago. Today, I went to Shadow Cliffs Regional Park in Pleasanton, CA again to check out the lake's water level, flooding, and also to get some exercise. There were a lot of pretty clouds in the sky today. I took some cellphone photos while I was there. Here are the photos I took. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

Parts of the walking trail is flooded due to the lake rising. 

 Trash bins and drinking fountain partially underwater.


More trail, park benches, and tables underwater.

Fort Point and Sutro Baths in San Francisco, CA

I know it has been a while but all of these photos were taken on the day of the Blue Angels air show in San Francisco. You can see those photos here. Today, I have photos (both HDR and regular shots) from Fort Point and Sutro Baths of San Francisco, CA. I also have a few bird photos. Hope you enjoy.

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing. See my best San Francisco photos here.

I think this might be an Eared Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis). Not too sure.

One of the tunnels at Fort Point. 

Sutro Baths (The Cave). The cave with lit by my Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT, but still used a fairly long exposure.

HDR of the tunnel.

HDR of the tunnel facing the other way. 

Hole in the wall. Ocean under it. I'm guessing the cave floods during high tide. I did see some puddles in the cave, and the ground was kind of wet. 

The other side of the tunnel. Just some rocks and then the ocean. Can't proceed anymore as there is a chain saying keep back. 

Here is a shot outside of the tunnel. A "natural bridge" formation on the right, and the restaurant/visitor center of Cliff House on the left. 

Here is a shot of the "natural bridge" formation and the rocks. This was shot with no filters. 

Same scene as above but now with a ND filter. See how the ND filter extended the exposure and smoothed out the ocean? One great benefit of having an ND filter, but you do need a tripod for these shots. 

Here is another ND filter shot of the ocean scenery. 

Forgot why I took another shot, but here it is. LOL

Sunset over Sutro Baths. 



I hope you have enjoyed these photos from Fort Point and Sutro Baths. If you plan on visiting San Francisco sometimes, you should definitely check out these 2 places. The scenery is beautiful. Although access to Cliff House might be challenging to the disabled and the elderly as there are a lot of stairs to go up and down on (pretty sure you get my point).

A Trip to Las Vegas (Part 2)

So a while back I went to Las Vegas or as some people call it "Sin City". People usually think of Las Vegas as a place to gamble, get married, watch show girls strip, and have fun, but that isn't the only thing about Las Vegas. There are lot's of shows in Las Vegas. All the buildings are like pieces of artwork that famous artists and architects created. It's amazing how people can create such a big and crowded city in the middle of the desert. It's called "Sin City" because of the gambling and the strip clubs there. Guess what? They were passing out naked show girl pictures on the streets. At first I was like, what could that be? I took one and I was like "OH GOD! GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!" LOL Should have listened in my friends warning. XD At least they covered the private parts with hearts and stuff. I had a lot of fun watching the shows... Well the family appropriate shows. LOL Didn't waste too much money either on this trip. HAHA

Some of the pictures maybe a little bit out of order, because I took some pictures with my DSLR and some with my Nokia N97. The naming system is a bit different so Microsoft Windows sorts them out different for me.

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos (well most of the photos) you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing here.

Today, I'll be posting the rest of the pictures from my Nokia N97... On my next post, I'll start posting pictures from my DSLR. Sorry about that. :\ So some of the photos today will be photos on the way home... Don't worry, this is not the end of the photos of Las Vegas.

Las Vegas view from my hotel room. :D

Great deals on Jewelry!


DENSE FOG!!! We drove through it... From far away, it looks like a cloud... There was bits of patches of fog on the road.  

See what I meant by the rain? The land next to the highway used to be desert. I know because I've been to Vegas several times now... See how there are lakes on the side of the road... That was how big the rain was!  Weird weather this year... 

Some scenery on the road...

Next time, I'll be posting the photos from my DSLR.
