Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park - Sunol, CA (Cellphone Photos)

I took a hike in Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park in Sunol, CA on January 6th, 2020. I took some sunset and dusk photos with my phone. I hope you enjoy viewing them.

I know there will be questions from some of you regarding my vision loss, and how I am hiking and taking photos during sunset and night. I am still night blind. My mom is with me the entire time being my sighted guide, and I also get help from my extremely bright flashlights (which helps rescue a bit of my night vision, but it's mostly for my mom). The flashlights I own are not your average, store bought kind. The flashlights I have are extremely bright and are used by photographers, police, search & rescue, and the military. They are rugged, waterproof, survives drops, and floods the immediate area in front of you with a ton of light to make it look like it is day time. These portable flashlights are brighter than the lights in my house. I used to do a lot of wilderness photography, so I have some of these flashlights on hand. I also use a white cane on the trail to feel what is in front of me. I hike on this trail very often, even when I was fully sighted in the past. I know the general directions to point my camera for a good shot, even in low light conditions. As long I have some situational awareness on this trail, I know my scenery spots. My mom is also helping me and pointing out interesting things I might want to get photos of.

Augustin Bernal Park & Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park - Pleasanton/Sunol, CA (Cellphone Shots)

Yesterday, on October 12th, 2019, I took a hike through Augustin Bernal Park in Pleasanton, CA and briefly hiked into Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park in Sunol, CA. I took some cellphone photos during my hike. All the photos are taken on Ridgeline Trail. I hope you enjoy viewing them.

Message From The Photographer: If you have been following me on social media for a little while, you'd know I've been dealing with vision impairment for over a year now. I hope these photos turned out somewhat well. I take these photos half blind as I can't see my phone screen very clearly. I always have my mom with me on these hikes to make sure I don't accidentally injure myself.
