Méthode Champenoise - Napa Valley Champagne
How to tell the good stuff: It is hand turned in the bottle - Méthode Champenoise.
Méthode Champenoise is the traditional method by which Champagne is produced. After primary fermentation and bottling, a second alcoholic fermentation occurs in the bottle. This second fermentation is induced by adding several grams of yeast (usually Saccharomyces cerevisiae, although each brand has its own secret recipe) and several grams of rock sugar. According to the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée a minimum of 1.5 years is required to completely develop all the flavour. For years where the harvest is exceptional, a millesimé is declared and some Champagne will be made from and labelled as the products of a single vintage rather than a blend of multiple years' harvests. This means that the Champagne will be very good and has to mature for at least 3 years. During this time the Champagne bottle is sealed with a crown cap similar to that used on beer bottles.
After aging, the bottle is manipulated, either manually or mechanically, in a process called remuage, so that the lees settle in the neck of the bottle. After chilling the bottles, the neck is frozen, and the cap removed. The pressure in the bottle forces out the ice containing the lees, and the bottle is quickly corked to maintain the carbon dioxide in solution. Some syrup (le dosage) is added to maintain the level within the bottle.

Golden Gate Bridge In Reflection

Photo circa 2002 early adopter digital camera, "Sony Cybershot". It looked like a beer can but it produced magical photos. Unfortunately the size of those antiquated images are not suitable for modern printing. Too bad because this is an epic shot.

San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Autumn Day. San Francisco. Designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, the graphic juxtaposition of the black and white striped cylindrical protrusion sliced at an angle with green glass of yet another pattern and the monolithic red brick mass was a bold design. It was controversial that a swiss architect was selected, rather then a San Francisco architect, but in the end it is a strong and beautiful contribution to the fabric of the city of San Francisco.

Useful Tripods For Tricky Shooting
Uploaded by sfbayimages on Feb 10, 2011 Marin Headlands. My Car. My crew helped me take a birthday ride in my car out by the coast to play with cameras. We mounted them on the car, in the car, over the car, and from various vantage points. All Canon Mark 5 DSLR footage. Of course, my favorite tripod is a helicopter. We used the a Joby Gorillapod mount for the inside the car shots.. It is fun little mount to play with.

Cranes From China Delivered to the San Francisco Bay
I just came across this image in my library. It is striking, unusual and historical shot representing the underpinning economy of the San Francisco Bay, the maritime industry.
5/1/2002 Cranes from China. Having just barely made it under the Golden Gate Bridge, four big cranes pass before the San Francisco City front on their way to the Port of Oakland. A historical event.

Magic Video From Mt. Tam Fire Lookout
A Day in the Life of a Fire Lookout. from Gary Yost on Vimeo.
A Magical well done story without many words from the top of Mount Tamalapais, Marin County, California, USA. Thank you Gary.Embedded from Vimeo - Link
Caption from Vimeo:
A Day in the Life of a Fire Lookout.
The video documents the (usually) very peaceful life of a fire lookout in the Gardner Lookout on the East Peak of Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County, California. I've been a Marin County Fire Department volunteer lookout for two years and deeply love the mountain and the peace it brings to us here in the Bay Area. Perhaps this 6-minute video will convey some of the emotions I feel when sitting (and sleeping) on her peak. All timelapse editing done in Lightroom4 and LR Timelapse2.
