As we near Christmas I thought a winter photo might be in order. Taken in Yosemite National Park, earlier in the year, these trees lack the decorations we’ve come to expect around Christmas time, but natures patterns and textures provide their own rich decoration. Although I’m out of pocket at the moment and am on a shoot before the holidays I thought I would wish everyone a Merry Christmas. View More Pho
Another photo from my Monday photo outing. On the scale of good to bad of the photos I’ve highlighted so far (The Good, The Bad) this is the worst and as such is “the Ugly”. Photographed is a close up of a fallen Oak with fog shrouded living Oaks on a hillside in the distance. What warrants giving this photo the “Ugly” destination? Well in concept I liked the idea of creating a juxtapo
As noted yesterday my Monday photo outing was a lot of fun. I captured some landscape and nature photos that I’m proud to show and others that fell short. It is these botched photos of the day that I wanted to post and discuss this week. Yesterday I posted The Good… a la the theme The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Today I wanted to post what I considered an example of The Bad. If you’re like me you sa
Monday I took the day off to get out and get some photography under my belt. I was joined by a good friend of mine who introduced me to some new areas to photograph iconic California Oak trees. With conditions nice and foggy it created some beautiful photographic opportunities. I have to admit this portion of the day went a lot smoother than later on when I botched some shots. During this shoot I got several good sho
I’ve been feeling a little under the weather as of late so my Friday post is going out a little late. In keeping with my water theme for the week here is a photo that has grown on me. This long exposure was taken at Linda Mar Beach in Pacifica at sunset. The surf has a misty quality to it, the surfers have nearly become washed out and the pastel hues accentuate the landscape creating a surreal scene. I think at
A sunset view of waves crashing along the coast here in San Francisco. The lighting was quite nice on this particular evening and the back-lighting on the waves caught my interest. Although not the jaw dropping image that my Mavericks surf photos might elicit, I still think this is as equally an interesting subject. Sometimes the simplest things we look past make the most interesting nature photos. [tags]San Francisc
The beautiful thing about California is that there are so many amazing places to take in and photograph sunrise. I’m impartial to nature and landscape subjects such as Yosemite National Park, but even catching sunrise over downtown Los Angeles can be dramatic. I couldn’t decide which sunrise photo to post, so I posted both. Here’s to a beautiful sunrise near you. Yosemite Valley Sunrise View More Ph
Today the Mavericks Surf contest official waiting period begins. At any point between today, December 7th 2007, and March 31st 2008 the contest can be called. Once the contest is called invited surfers and surfing fans have 24 hours to travel from where ever they are worldwide to the event. This past Tuesday waves reached nearly 70 feet at Mavericks. With great surf so early in the season lets hope the contest happen
