The Walled City: Blue & Yellow Contrast in Obidos

Two-thirds of the primary colors take over the scene at Obidos. 

Blue and yellow color-blocked stripes adorn these whitewashed buildings, creating a look that is simple and historic, and also sleek and modern at the same time. 

Dragons and Yellow Lanterns at Yokohama Chinatown

Yokohama Chinatown Part II: One of the most stylish Chinatowns I've ever seen. Almost every corner there is a pagoda gate with colorful displays from restaurants and shops surrounding the neighborhood. 

These long, yellow lanterns and the dragon-like shape caught my attention and stole the show!

Orange Days: Autumn Leaves in Manito Park

Japanese Garden in Manito Park Part III: The perfect blend of colors in fall foliage. 

Greens, reds, oranges, and yellows in all different shades bring these trees to life. 

All the Colors: Saturated Autumn Foliage in the Garden

Japanese Garden in Manito Park Part I: First time seeing such vibrant fall foliage at a Japanese Garden! I was in awe of the colors (a mix of all the warm autumn tones), the surreal beauty, and the calmness in this garden.

Magical Display of Fireflies at Night Imagery

I always love the dramatic, magical beauty of fireflies and the cold lights that emit from them.

I decided to create a closeup image with swarms of fireflies and their bright yellow light outside by the trees. 

This original picture was taken during the day time next to a colorful lake. After changing the hues, darkening the tones, and adding in firefly art, this ended up being the final result.

Yellow Shades of Fall: Extraordinary Autumn Tree

Literally one of the yellowest and most symmetrical tree I've ever seen! 

Stumbled upon this one tree at a quiet neighborhood filled with tons and tons of yellow, orange and red trees all around!

The Magic Hour at San Francisco's Bay Bridge

A shocking yet tranquil yellow-orange sunset by the Bay Bridge. I loved the soft glow of this and the effects the color of the sky has on the bridge and the water. I decided to add a couple blur circle designs to elevate the magical feel of the photo.

Suite Dreams: Blue-Green Lights & New York Skyscrapers

It's always so much fun altering a series of images, tweaking the colors, saturation, hue, and everything in between. For this image of the lower Manhattan skyline, I wanted to give it a dramatic look and feel, with a slight twilight vibe but filtered with more hints of blue-green and yellow colors. Something that is dream-like, yet still strongly saturated. Something that has an eccentric personality and reflects the true spirit and energy of New York.

Unfiltered Life: Orange Sunset Glows by the Still Waters

The sky finally cleared up and I captured this photo of the sunset by the bay. The original photo was a lighter icier pastel shade of blue and yellow, but I wanted to give it a more tropical summer feel so I added yellow-green plus orange tones and extra contrast to give it an extra boost.

Magic Wonders of the Garden: Salmon-Yellow Colored Rose

Time to stop and smell the roses.

So many bright flowers in the Pacific Heights neighborhood, making this hilly hike a refreshing walk in nature. This one in particular caught my eye; I love the mix of yellow, orange, and salmon colors on this and had to capture a closeup pic.

Bright Cherry Red Flower in Bonsai Garden

A rare flower found at a small bonsai garden. With the perfect sunlight after the morning rain, I captured a striking closeup of this flower!

Light Sunrise Across the Bay Bridge Waters

Waking up bright and early can be cumbersome but with this clear sunrise of the Bay Bridge to start my day, it is all worth it.

Let It Glow Imagery: Fireflies' Glorious Lights

Fireflies Imagery Part I: Fireflies are so transcendent and a rare sight!

I've never seen them in person, but recently saw some surreal firefly images and was so inspired by its beauty and eccentricity that I decided to create my own. This was originally a photo from a botanical garden but after enhancing the contrast, sharpening, darkening, and adding other effects to the image, I included the glowing yellow fireflies and its emitting lights in the surrounding area to create this imagery. These artsy firefly lights resemble bright sunflowers in the distance.
