Pixel 3 caught this shot from my MKT traveling home from Ventura. Rotated and saturated in camera app.

JoAn treated me to my first meal at ‘Charcoal’, a new restaurant in Marina Del Rey for my birthday. So happens, it’s the night before her birthday.

I trusted my Pixel 3 without looking to get original shot, then wanted to add the restaurant logo.

I take this shot this morning and want it superimposed on the original image. Since the camera app can’t handle the task, I use Photo Studio Pro

After first giving Photoshop Express a try, this software gave me the control to combine the images.

Comments on more efficient ways are welcome.

Straight shot with Pixel 3. Slight rotation, love the precision with tweaking the horizon.

As the choir sang on a recent Sunday morning, the sun lit up my favorite singer’s songbook. A magic moment caught with my ever present Pixel 3.

Walking to a colleague’s office on campus, spotted this student resting. Wish I would have kept the original shot to indicate just how much I cropped for results. I didn’t but my point is…I was not close, but got the photo I wanted.

Ok, why take a photo of boat slips being built? Because it’s there?

Yes, it’s Winter 2019 and for the last year or so boat slips for large yachts and sailboats have been multiplying rapidly.

Why? Rich folks are getting richer. Is that a good or bad thing?

That’s a political/economic question.

Because it’s there…my Pixel 3 in my pocket, a thought and now it’s on my blog.

Here’s a shot I couldn’t have taken in the past with a camera. BUT, phones are allowed at these events.

I’ve attended this event when it was called the Northern Trust Open in past years. However, this was the first time I’ve seen Tiger Woods since the Phoenix Open back in 2009 I think.

This photo was the best I could do given the crowd. Crazy crowd with rude and obnoxious men witnessed by yours truly.

My favorite photo of the day came as a bus was delivering me back to Santa Monica.
