Photo of the Day: Golden Gate Bridge Sunset Panorama
This image was captured from the observation deck / bar of the Bank of America Building in San Francisco.

Photo of the Day: Using Adobe Bridge to re-process 2007 HDR Landscapes!
Having been a digital photographer for a decade now, one of my favorite things to do is to re-open old images with the latest and greatest post-processing tools available today. Here is an example of an image from 2007, which means I first processed it in Adobe Bridge CS, or CS2, using the original 2003 “Process Version”.

Photo of the Day: Natural Light Bridal Portrait
This is a spot I often use for bridal portraits, and usually I shoot from the other direction because there is such gentle, soft light falling on the subjects’ face thanks to all of that open shade you can see. This time, the bride was gathering up her dress to continue on with the wedding day, and I snapped a frame from the opposite direction.
