This is Janelle.

Team Flash Bullet had a shoot this afternoon with Anthony of Metamorphosis Salon in San Francisco.

It was quite awesome. Here's one of the photos.

Details in the photo are worth checking out.

87/365. Life is good

Today is Angela's birthday. She is shown here giving some love to her hubby Lindsey. Cheers.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

This was up the center of the Plaza at Powell in San Francisco (a mall). Heading up the escalators you can tilt your head over and almost see the top — but not quite. I adjusted some settings on my camera, threw it on manual focus, then stuck my arm out and took a blind chance at a photo. Turned out pretty fun :)

This is a great spot where you can get a pretty decent view of the big tall pointy TransAmerica Pyramid building and the Bay Bridge.
85mm f/1.4D@f/8 15seconds (tripod) ISO200

Having lived in the Bay Area for nearly four years now, I finally managed to get out and take some pictures of the city during the evening hours.
This one was shot near the Embarcadero at Pier 1 showing the famous Bay Bridge, which I think is actually a lot prettier than the Golden Gate Bridge... but whatever. I'll soon make my way down that way too.
24-70@24mm f/4.5 25s ISO200.
I would have shot at a smaller aperture, but f/4.5 was able to get me just under 30 seconds before using the bulb setting (I forgot my remote).

Erin did many other wonderful poses, but I'm not posting *those*.
