Light Fog and Sunrise Over the Mountains

A little bit of mist, a little bit of clouds...a magical aerial view of the morning sunrise above the ground. I looked outside the window and was amazed by the beauty and simplicity of this picture-perfect view and needed to capture the pastel glow of the sun streaming through the clouds.

Dreamy Winter Trees and Pastel Pink Skies

One of those angelic wintry days at a hidden park in the city. Surrounded by rocks, water, wispy trees and a mostly cloudy sky, I decided to use this moment to capture the flowers and trees. I gave it a more delicate, pastel touch by blurring out the image and adding in some pink-peach hues and removing some of the saturation for a timeless look and feel.

The Painted Ladies: Eclectic Victorian Houses in the City

Nothing can beat this view at Alamo Square: a magnificent, colorful row of Victorian and Edwardian symmetrical houses deck the street, with the breathtaking city skyline in the backdrop, rising above in the distance. To add on to the charm, I decided to give it a lighter, dreamier feel by including a hint of a pastel pink filter to the image.
