Taken in Wilder Ranch State Park, Santa Cruz, California, on March 30th, 2010. Poseidon, the god of the sea, has a pretty sweet 100,000-inch movie screen with a trillion watt projector which plays all your favorite hits. He’s got a pretty sweet sound system too and man, when the bass is booming you can feel […]
Taken at McWay Falls, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, Big Sur, California on March 21st, 2010 McWay Falls is one of the most iconic scenes along the incomparable Big Sur coast. And for good reason: the beauty of the place, with its 80-foot waterfall cascading down into a protected and inaccessible cove, is simply sublime. […]
Picture framing can be a hassle. Ready-made frames often offer a cheap solution, but not all pictures fit standard sizes, and the ready-made frames can be low quality as well. Professional picture framing is a sure-fire way to get a great result, but also a sure-fire way to break the bank; often it costs more […]
Spent the afternoon as usual: peering out the window to check on conditions down out the coast. Since I had missed the fantastic sunset on Friday, I was especially antsy to get some shooting in, so when I saw some clouds building on the horizon, I hopped in the car and zoomed away down to […]
So you’re sitting at home, looking out on a 100%, completely overcast day, and thinking: “Great, I’m glad it’s cloudy because I need to get some work done. Got my first art show of the year coming up in a couple of weeks and there’s a huge amount of prep to be done.” And then […]
Taken at Four Mile Beach near Santa Cruz, California on March 1st, 2010 When I’m not on the road I rarely wake up early to shoot the sunrise. However, in late February I had just discovered Four Mile Beach in Santa Cruz and was captivated its beauty. Thinking it could be a great place to […]
Did something today I almost never do at home: woke up early to shoot the sunrise. Not sure what got into me exactly other than I have a somewhat obsessive personality and when I get into something, I really get into it. The ‘it’ in this case is Four Mile Beach in Santa Cruz. I […]
On the last leg of my recent southwest road trip, I had the choice of either heading north out of Zion National Park to head for Great Basin National Park, or heading south into Death Valley. A brief weather check on the morning of my departure let me know that it was extremely cold in […]
Here’s a new Notes from the Field from a recent trip to Death Valley. I was in the Badwater Salt Flats (lowest elevation in the US: 282 feet below sea level) for sunrise and came away with this shot: Full details with videos on how I chose this composition, what camera settings I used, and […]
Here’s a new Notes from the Field from a trip to Laguna Creek Beach in Santa Cruz. I headed down to the beach for sunset and came away with this shot: Full details with videos on how I chose this composition, what camera settings I used, and how I post-processed the image after the jump.
I arrived in Page, Arizona in a late January evening just as the clouds were beginning to roll in. I had little idea of what to do in town so I just found a cheap motel in which to spend the night. While checking in I perused the ubiquitous motel-bookstand-full-of-fliers-of-what-to-do-around-here and discovered to my delight […]
Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River – one of THE classic southwest photo locations. And in my ignorance, I didn’t even know I was there until I practically fell into it.
