You might have heard in the news that the population of bees has been decreasing. This is a serious problem for everyone of us. We depend on bees for our fruits, vegetable, nuts, honey, etc. As the population of bees are in a decline, there are a lot of suspects for causes of this problem...
At the end of a rainy day, the sunset in San Diego is beautiful. The texture of the clouds just filled the sky. Instead of producing just a photo, it is a time-lapsed movie of the sunset. I do enjoy the moving clouds in the video.
Have you ever looked at a leaf very closely? Today, I take a gander at macro photography. The photo today is a closeup view of a lettuce leaf under high magnification (not in a sense of microscopic view). We can see the structures of capillary veins on such a leaf.
It is Tuesday. That means UCSD Farmers’ Market again. At lunch time, one BBQ stand would have people lining up to get food. It is very routine. Every Tuesday around 10-1, you would see a long line around the same stall.
One aspect that UCSD is known for is the school of engineering, where many engineers had graduated and became of pioneers of modern technology. Today, I reflected upon that while taking a photo of the Irwin and Joan Jacobs School of Engineering. The slanted house on top of the engineering building is a symbol of...
I found that taking photos of complementary colors is pleasing to the eyes. Yellow/orange and cyan are a pair of complementary colors. The leaves and flowers of the silver brocade perennial plants form such beautiful mix.
Using light painting, a wall, and multiple exposures, I was able to imprint the texture of a wall onto a long exposure photo of light painting. Once that is done, I added another exposure to the current image to have a mix of fun details. This is all one by the camera, no special manipulation...
Studying at UCSD can be stressful, but there are ways such as playing frisbee to de-stress the work load that a UCSD has to endure. It is a tough life here at UCSD. 10 weeks of classes per quarter goes by very quickly, midterms and finals is just around the corner. During that time, you...
Right outside of UCSD, the intersection of La Jolla Village Drive and Villa La Jolla Drive is one busy intersection. I took this photo at 9 P.M. on a Sunday night and it is full of cars going by. Can you imagine how many cars there are on a regular day at regular hours? How much...
I was at the Andersen Nursery today to pick some vegetable plants for a plant bed that I have on the patio. Andersen Nursery is a wonderful place to visit. The staff here is great and the price is very reasonable. There is a large selection of flowers and vegetable to choose from. After picking...
I found a different view of UTC, La Jolla, CA. It is quite unique. UTC is known for a modern financial and shopping center. However, with this perspective, we might see how humanity is intruding into the natural landscape.
My trustee first camera/DSLR (Canon 400D) is being photographed with my first advance Canon L lens. With this camera, I have taken many great photos to share.
I got out of the office late today (way pass midnight). As I was biking through the UCSD campus, I thought of bokeh as a style that I would like to incorporate into the photo. Using myself as a foreground for a bokeh background. This photo is taken on the Library Walk at UCSD, next...
Today was a meeting to review all the collaborative efforts that scientists who have been involved in the Tasman Sea Tidal Dissipation Experiment (T-TIDE) have done. So this photo is to capture that memory of the group.
