Gorilla with Beautiful Eyes
Saturday August 13, 2022 by Tony Gillilan
The way the light was hitting her eyes was amazing. I wonder what she was thinking. The gorillas at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park are beautiful. I have sat in front of the enclosure for hours just watching them. It takes a really long lens and a tripod to get these shots. They don't typically hang out right next to the public observation area.
Torrey Pines Gliderport
Sunday August 07, 2022 by Tony Gillilan
It amazes me every time I go down to the Torrey Pines Gliderport to watch the paragliders just walk off the cliff and begin to float upwards. I don’t think I have the courage to do such a thing. They are a bit tricky to photograph with a long lens as they move pretty quickly through the air as I try to keep them in the center of the frame. It takes a bit of practice to come away with a few keepers.
Getting Gas at Costco Murrieta
Saturday August 06, 2022 by Tony Gillilan
I have never been a fan of waiting in line to pay a few cents less per gallon for gas. Costco in Murrieta just opened its gas station to the public a few days ago, and there was no line. To my amazement, I was able to pull right up and get gas. Hopefully this trend continues.
Golden Gate Bridge from Battery Spencer at Night
Saturday August 06, 2022 by Tony Gillilan
The Golden Gate Bridge has fascinated me from a very young age. I remember my dad driving me across the bridge when I was about 10 years old. The bridge itself is gorgeous and I can't resist capturing a few shots whenever I am around it. This shot was taken late at night after a conference I was attending. I was able to get a few streaks of light as cars drove across the bridge during the exposure.
