I don’t always keep my camera on a tripod when I’m on my trips. There are too many missed opportunities for great photos when you limit yourself to only taking photos using a tripod. I think some of my best photos have been taken while just holding the camera. If there is enough light and […]

While on my last trip to Yosemite, there was a pretty good amount of rain that fell. Since I live in an area where there is very little rain, I welcomed any amount that happened on the trip. I did a number of hikes in the rain, but the photo below is of the pine […]

While up at Lassen Volcanic National Park, I took some time and drove about 45 minutes north to Burney Falls. Talk about an amazing water fall! Below is a photo I took from the rim above the falls. I ended up going back there a second time to do more exploring. I hope you all […]

I did my usual grocery shopping this morning and saw this huge Christmas tree that was recently put up. The tree is about two stories tall and is at an outdoor mall near where I live. I decided to take a picture of it standing at the base of the tree. I felt like the […]

The lecture this last Thursday was given by Art Streiber, a commercial photographer who has shot celebrities and other works for various publications. This was definitely an entertaining and informative lecture I think anyone would enjoy. If […]

It’s almost time for me to leave for Lassen Volcanic National Park in the next few weeks. There was a little bit of snow in the area last week and there’s going to be quite a bit of rain in the following week. I’ve checked with the visitor center and most concessions will be closed, […]

Yes, it’s that time of year again when fall color hits the Eastern Sierra Nevada. Aspens should be peaking sometime over this next week at Lake Sabrina and other areas around 10,000 feet. My sister is on a road trip with my brother-in-law and niece around the Bishop, California area and they’re going to take […]
