Had some time while my car was being serviced @townefordrwc so I headed over to Bair Island, part of @usfws @californiadfw Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Here's the first of a "what I see vs. what I shoot" sort of thing. Grateful for these effors to preserve wild spaces in urban centers -- this place is sandwiched between highway 101 and two busy bridges connecting the Peninsula to the East Bay.

Inspired by @morganqphoto, I tried my hand at photographing my first whale watching excursion with @monterey_bay_whale_watch and oh man we were treated to a show of abundant marine life! Highly recommend!! @seemonterey @visitcalifornia #gowhales

Picture perfect stroll along The Embarcadero with my nifty fifty #Nikkor and trusty #d3500. See you on Saturday 9/12 @balboavillagesf for @artwalksf_ @avenuegreenlight @civic_joy_fund #bayarea #bayareaphotographer #nikonphotographer

Another market in the books. Thank you @headwestmarketplace and @ferrybuilding for the awesome venue (and picture perfect weather) and everyone who stopped by to look and chat about all things nature photography! You don’t always need a fancy camera to take great photos. Sometimes just a window seat and an iPhone will do the trick 😉 #sanfrancisco #bayareaphotographer @visitcalifornia

See you tomorrow SF! @headwestmarketplace @ferrybuilding

Continuing my Bay Area market appearances! Thank you @bayarea_makersmarket and @humblesea.alameda for hosting last weekend (and @bluedripco for the afternoon cold brew top up). This Saturday 8/15 I’ll be @thecoffeeshack.ca for their “Love You a Latte” market. Come for the coffee, stay for the local goodies and raffle (and more coffee 😉).

This is one of my favorite photos I've ever taken, so I ordered myself a large (20x30") print of it from @bayphotolab via my @zenfolio website (photos.davidbarnstone.com) mainly to test the supply chain. It was seamless! Come check it out and hear the story behind it this Saturday August 8 @bayarea_makersmarket @humblesea.alameda ! I would love to find it a forever home ☺️ I'll also have a smaller photo card and other small and large prints with me. See you there 😎🍻

Counting the days till leaf peeping season in the Sierras. In the meantime here are some from last year. Cause "autumn happens here, too" 🍂@californiafallcolor @exploreinyocounty @monocountytourism @visitbishop @visitcalifornia

Market-ing update (mostly posting as reminder to myself but would love to see you there 😎) - Saturday 8/8: @humblesea.alameda @bayarea_makersmarket - Saturday 8/15: @thecoffeeshack.ca - Sunday 9/6 @headwestmarketplace @ferrybuilding

A lovely sunset over the @cannerypierhotel last month + another #glenhansard song #CanneryPierMoment

Thank you, Glen. You have always been and will always be an inspiration.

Ok this one knocked my socks off! Totally impressed with the quality of this 20x30” canvas print from @mymikescamera of a sunrise I shot @yellowstonenps in 2024. I swear it’s a photograph, not a painting (but would make for a beautiful painting). Wow! #mymikescamera 🎶 in memory of @glenhansard 💔

Had a great time @headwestmarketplace @dtlosaltos this weekend! Thank you for coming out and taking a look — I love seeing what resonates and why! Swipe to see a fresh edit of a Golden Gate scene from a spooky night last October. Stay tuned for future market appearances 😎 📸 @oliveezy

Who needs this on their wall? 👀👀 Mt. Shasta + Horses = 😍 16x20" canvas print. Come check it out tomorrow @headwestmarketplace on State St in Los Altos!

Finally got around to editing one of my favorite shots from my visit to @thandasafari. Special thanks to @christiansperkaphotography for the tips on photographing these majestic creatures.
