Industrial Night Photographs

Sam Morris — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 21:56:13 +0000

This is a set of photos taken in and around Concord/Vallejo CA of some various factories, warehouses, and refineries. I wanted to take some closer shots, but these places are obviously not open for the public to walk through. It was also my first time with my 70-300mm lens, which was an interested change from the 24-120mm wide angel lens I’ve been using for the past few years.

Earth Hour 2009 – Driving Home (Part II)

After shooting a set of rather unimpressive photos of San Francisco during Earth Hour 2009, I thought I would take a set of photos while driving home. (No I wasn’t actually looking through the viewfinder while driving) When I got home I was overwhlemed with a couple hundred photos, mostly garbadge, but above are the few that I liked.

Earth Hour 2009 – San Francisco (Part I)

This is a set of photos I took during earth hour 2009. They were taken from the Berkeley hills between 8:30pm-9pm in roughly 4 minute increments. You can see the lights on the spans of the Bay Bridge turning off in the first few photos. Overall though I was somewhat unimpressed…The photos I saw online of other big cities during earth hour seemed to have more noticeable results.

HDR Test (Parking Garage)

Sam Morris — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 03:58:24 +0000

I’ve always had interest in HDR photography, this was my first test set I shot to play around with. I put up the whole set just for some reference. The first photo in the gallery in the final result, the 2nd is version with a tilt shift type effect applied. The rest of the images are the set I shot.

Since it’s hard to find a set of exposures in RAW format I’ve attached my set for those trying to learn.

Angel Island Fire (San Francisco Bay)

Sam Morris — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 06:55:07 +0000

Taken from the Berkeley hills around 10:45pm… This is Angel Island which is located in the middle of the San Francisco bay. The Golden Gate bridge is located towards the left, behind the island (You can see it in one of the photos). In the foreground is the Berkeley Marina. I didn’t notice when taking the photos, but in a few of the long exposures you can see various aircraft flying over the island.

ten11 Logo

After becoming familiar with Illustrator I was required to create a logo for a nightclub. I came across the blend tool and was pleased with the results it gave, although later in my education I realized it’s generally overused.
