Sunrise Over Mount Gibbs in Black and White
The sunrise colors that morning wasn’t “epic”, but I like the clouds forming that morning over Mount Gibbs. Since it lacked any colors, I converted this to a black and white instead. I think it really works, what are your thoughts? Tweet
Crescent Moon Over the Mountains
With Tioga Pass opening last week, I finally got the opportunity to make it up before the snow melted and the mosquitoes moved in. I went to bed at 9pm so I could get a few hours of sleep before I drove the 3 hour trip to the Tuolumne Meadows area to photograph “something” at [...]
Supermoon in Atwater California
I wasn’t going to take any pictures of the supermoon. I just couldn’t resist it, so I quickly grabbed my tripod and camera and ran well, as fast as I could walk, down the street and captured this… Tweet
Reflecting Tree at Sunset
I’ve been wanting to drive out to the Merced National Wildlife Refuge for a few months now. I knew most of the water has drained and the birds have left for the season, but I also know other birds stay all year. Since Sarah really loves Owls, we all took a drive to see what [...]
A Tale of Two Turkeys
The kids had a half-day at school, so we packed up a few things and drove out to one of our favorite locations, Hornitos California. The kids like it because there is a playground and they can walk the streets and not get hit by a car. I like it because of the old houses. [...]
Bridalveil Falls in Black and White
Lacking a lot of colors, converting this image of Bridalveil Falls to black in white seemed obvious to me. Tweet
Whispery Fog
When you’re visiting a popular location like Yosemite, sometimes it’s not about the icons. While the fog was obscuring the icons like Half Dome and El Capitan, I focused on other things. Right under El Capitan, there was some low hanging fog in the trees and composed a few frames. I thought about converting this [...]
A Dream
It was getting dark and the fog was obscuring every icon at Tunnel View, but I still wanted to continue shooting. I noticed a clearing above Bridalveil Falls and composed a few variations of the hole in the fog. I like the abstract-look about it. What do you think? Tweet
Bridalveil Falls in Color and Black & White
As I mentioned on my previous blog entry, Bridalveil Falls in the Fog, it was a pretty foggy afternoon in Yosemite Valley. Since I had time, I just kept waiting for brief clearings in the fog. This image was taken about a half-hour after the first image I posted yesterday. Since I like the tones [...]
Bridalveil Falls in the Fog
I have wanted to drive up to Yosemite after a big storm all season. Between the one-car-family, kids and other commitments, getting everything inline is a tough thing to do. I was watching the weather last week and it looked like another storm was brewing and it looked like it would clear Friday/Saturday. On Friday, [...]
