Month: January 2014
Lamoille Canyon, Nevada
Locals call it ‘Nevada’s Yosemite’ a valley located in the Ruby Mountains in the Northeastern section of Nevada (near Elko)
Montara State Beach – CA
Montara State Beach, California
Went out to Montara State Beach the other day to try out my new Hoya Pro 1D ND x64. I like the results of this neutral density filter . On a bright day, this filter reduces the shot 6 stops (for you camera geeks)
Stones in Water
Another shot from the West Fork of the Carson River in Hope Valley. I remember reading somewhere that if you are going to take photos of water you need to take a lot of them. Each photo, each angle, the natural light brings something different to the viewer every time.
In the photo the water reflects the last moments of the setting sun. The water smooth as a mirror
Moonset & Jupiter
Woke up this morning to the moon setting and Jupiter still visible just before dawn in San Francisco. Admittedly, not my best shot, I ran out of the house with the wrong lens and a low battery. But, I did enjoy watching the moon set below the horizon and all the people that pulled over to do the same. A person out for the their morning jog, just stopped and said, “WOW!”
West Fork Carson River
West Fork of the Carson River near Hope Valley along Highway 88 in California. This is one of my favorite areas to take photos. I was walking along the river at dusk when I stumbled across this tree root along the river’s edge. I thought it would add an interesting line to the shot.
Frost on the Merced River
Late morning on the Merced River near Nature Center at Happy Isle, I found frost forming along the river. At first glance they looked like jellyfish.
Flowing Water
Taken off of highway 120 in California – The daylight reflecting in the top pool as the waterfall feeds it. Lightly snow capped stones in the water and a swirl of foam made this an interesting photo.
