One thing I like to do when I visit Yosemite is go up to the high country and look for small areas that are not normally visited by people. One such area is along Tioga Pass, just east of Tuolumne Meadows. It’s the Dana Fork of the Tuolumne River. There really isn’t a parking area […]
Pine Cones
While on my last trip to the Sierras, I stopped at a place called Mono Mills, which is a historic landmark where there used to be a lumber mill. While looking around, I spotted a picnic table where someone had placed a group of pine cones. I thought it might make an interesting photo, so […]
Fisheye Fun
I didn’t get many chances to use my new fisheye lens on my latest trip to Yosemite, but the image below is one that I caught with it. The up-shot of the one giant sequoia and other surrounding trees came out pretty good I think. It’s always a challenge to take pictures with such an […]
Convict Lake
Convict Lake is one of my favorite lakes in the Eastern Sierras. I really enjoyed taking photos of the aspens around the lake this fall, but before I did that, I took the photo below at sunrise. Most of the photographers that morning were huddled around the bridge near the entrance to the lake, but […]
Keeping Our National Forests And Parks Clean
It was a great trip to the Eastern Sierras and Yosemite a week ago. I really saw some amazing sites and took some great photos, which I’ll be posting in my galleries and blog soon. However, as I hiked the tails throughout the beautiful landscapes, I couldn’t help but notice the amount of litter around […]
Back From The Eastern Sierras And Yosemite
I just got back home today from a great trip! I’m really tired, but thought I’d share the photo below with all of you. The photo was taken around the June Lake area. The colors there were absolutely amazing! I’ll share more information on the trip next weekend. I need to get some much needed […]
Fall In The Sierra!
It’s official! I’m going to the Sierras and Yosemite! This is going to be a great trip because I’ll be hitting the Eastern Sierras at peak fall season…which means beautiful, colorful fall photos! Can you tell I’m doing a “happy dance”? To get in the spirit of fall photography, I mentioned in my last post […]
Going Wide Angle
Last weekend I tested out my new wide angle and fisheye lenses at the beach. All I have to say is: WOW!!! I love these two lenses! Both are definitely a great purchase and well worth the price. I’ve posted two pictures below that I took during sunset. Gee, guess which one was taken with […]
National Geographic Photo Contest 2015
It’s that time of the year again and this time I’m not going to be late with my entry! The National Geographic Photo Contest 2015 is in full motion now and I’m hoping to take a great photo during my fall 2015 trip up north that I can submit to the competition. There have already […]
Life: A Journey Through Time
This is the last day for the current exhibit (Emerging) at the Annenberg Space for Photography and then the museum will be closed until October 24th so it can prepare for its new upcoming exhibit called Life: A Journey Through Time. I’m looking forward to this new exhibit because it will be comprised of photos […]
