This image is registered with the US Copyright Office. www.colleenmgriffith.com www.facebook.com/colleen.griffith Here's my first professional pic of my new puppy, Sadie. Can you believe she is already 5 months old in this photo? I picked her up from the breeder, Adler Stein, when she was only 2 months old. I've been so busy with raising, socializing, and training her, that I haven't taken the time to set up my studio lights and capture a formal portrait until now! And of course, that's one of the major reasons I haven't been posting new pictures to my site. Puppyhood is sooo time consuming! I captured this photo about a week ago, in commemoration of her passing the AKC CGC test (American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen test). It's quite rare for a dog this young to pass that test. She's such a good girl! :) She has been in obedience training since she was 6 weeks old. About a month ago we started training her for Search And Rescue. And she also graduated from Intermediate Obedience and will soon be enrolled in an Advanced Obedience class. If you'd like to see a training video I recorded with her, you can find it posted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ5LQu7tcKM Posted 12 November 2011

I captured this moonset photo the morning the moon was it's closest to the earth in the past 18 years, March 19 2010. The sun still had not risen, so, the light you see in the clouds and reflected on the ocean was from the incredibly bright full moon as it was setting over the Pacific Ocean. We've had virtually non-stop rain over the past week, and this morning was no different - so I was lucky the moon peeked out of the clouds just a bit to add some mystical moonlight to the ocean and clouds.

In this photo, the TransAmerica building is framed within the North Tower of the bridge. In other photos, I framed the TA Building in the cables of the bridge. You can also see a portion of the Bay Bridge (upper left background) and the Moscone Recreation Center (bright lights, right-hand center).

I'd be curious to hear if you like the other version better compared to this one. Posted 29 January 2011.

The epic heavy waves, surf, and windy conditions that day generated a fine mist in the air. This mist softened the lines of the lighthouse and hostel buildings in the background lending a bit of a dreamy quality to the composition.

This image is registered with the US Copyright Office. www.colleenmgriffith.com www.facebook.com/colleen.griffith This northern pacific coast lighthouse is located just south of Half Moon Bay, a cute little coastal town easily accessible from San Francisco, California. I captured this sunset photo during a mild low tide. There was heavy surf, very large waves, and high wind that day, so there was a lot of mist in the air. This mist softened the lines of the lighthouse and hostel buildings in the background lending a bit of a dreamy quality to the composition. (Note: the surf was so unusually high, that the Maverick's surf contest was held that morning (it's a world famous contest that is held only one day a year, on the day when the waves are expected to be the highest, and it attracts the world's best big-wave surfers).

This image is registered with the US Copyright Office. www.colleenmgriffith.com www.facebook.com/colleen.griffith I don't think I've ever seen such a brilliant and amazing sunset. I happened to be driving down the coast just as the sun set and pulled over to capture this shot. I didn't have my tripod with me, so I literally sat down on the wet beach, and propped my camera on top of my knees to stabilize it for a night shot. Spending the rest of the evening with a soaking wet backside was not the most pleasant, but I think this photo was worth it. :) I still can't believe how colorful it was.

This image is registered with the US Copyright Office. www.colleenmgriffith.com www.facebook.com/colleen.griffith This San Francisco skyline photo was captured on one of those stormy days where the clouds just begin to clear at sunset. So there was a really interesting pattern of light in the sky - where the clouds were parting, you can see the lighter blue caused by the setting sun. I just love how there is a spot of light blue above the TransAmerica Building - it almost looks like that spot is caused by the light at the building's pinnacle. This was also a special time of year to photograph the skyline - the Ferry Building was lit up in Red and Green and the 4 buildings in the center of the shot are outlined in lights. This happens only during the Christmas holidays. This photo is also unusually crisp due to the phenomenally-clear weather conditions that evening.
