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.
Each of the UCSD engineering buildings has its own structural beauty. Here is one of them right after today’s cloudy sunset. The photo is black and white. This is a style I enjoy for photos of lines and corners.
A view of La Jolla from the top of the hill behind the Scripps Institution of Oceanography can be dramatically different from a view in the day. The main source of light for a night view is coming from La Jolla instead of the sun shining on everything during the day.
Today, I am trying out a technique in video/photography called time-lapse photography where the person would take a sequence of photos from a scene and play it back as a video. The scene in this video is me cooking pasta. You will see a pot on a stove the contents with in it change over the...
Once a month, I volunteer at the Ronald McDonald’s House(RMH) with the Inter Compassion Charities (ICC) group to cook and serve meals to families who are staying here. RMH in San Diego is a charity that provides help and support to low-income families who have children being treated with serious illnesses that require long-term treatments...
Day 2, I am still doing 2 photos per day… Today is racquetball. It’s my weekly activity at the RIMAC gym. Racquetball is very fun and keeps me in shape. At RIMAC (UCSD), I play with many other players. These guys are active. Some players are very skillful. They have very good control of placing...
Today, I’ve decided today to take at least one photo a day. Let’s see how long this will last. I start this blog with objects around my patio. I have a little garden bed and marigolds are growing there to attract bees to help pollenate my tomato and zucchini plants. In addition, marigolds are known...
While spending 3 weeks on a oceanographic research vessel in the Tasman Sea, Australia, the crews and research team encountered various species of birds. There are a few species of albatrosses that are localized to the Southern Pacific and the Southern Ocean. Albatrosses are known as big sea bird with large wingspans. They usually can...
