The great thing about my up coming trip to Yosemite is that there are multiple opportunities to take great pictures at different elevations and in different environments. I’ve done sunrise shots in the higher and lower elevations and a few sunset shots around Yosemite Valley. Since I’ll be spending a bulk of my time on […]

I’m preparing for a trip to Mammoth and Yosemite in the next month. This time I’ve decided to hike in an area just South of Tenaya Lake. The trail is about 14.5 miles round trip and should take a good portion of one day. The location I’m hiking to is called Clouds Rest and is […]

I didn’t think this weekend was going to be so busy! I usually post a blog on Sunday, but will be busy most of the day. I’ll try posting later in the week. Hope everyone has a great weekend and a great week coming up!

My latest camera is a mirrorless camera. At first I thought I was going to have a hard time adjusting to an electronic view finder and all the different features one has to offer, but after a few weeks I found that it was much better than I had hoped for. Do I think other […]

I hadn’t intended to do another “In The Foreground” profile for a while, but I felt that I needed to do one this week for a very important person who left our world suddenly a little over a week ago. I’ve always had great respect for photographers who cover war stories because I know there […]

For some reason they always get in the way of my photography and I’ve never felt comfortable having them around my neck. I’m sure they’re useful for the right individual, but 99.9% of the time I don’t use them […]

This weekend I decided to drive down to the Getty Center and see the new exhibit – In Focus:  Ansel Adams.  The exhibit displays various photos of Mr. Adams in the Getty’s collection and shows the way his printing style has changed over time. During the later years of Mr. Adams’ life, he didn’t take […]

I’ve been busy this weekend creating a portfolio of stock images. The portfolio is for a stock photography company I plan on submitting an application to so I can contribute to their site. This specific stock site is pretty prestigious and their qualifications and guidelines for images are really tough, so here’s hoping for the […]

Ever feel like you can’t come up with any ideas of things to take pictures of?  You may be thinking to yourself that the only way you can take great pictures is by going off to some remote beautiful vacation spot or unusual city in order to find inspirational photographic elements.  Well, we all can’t […]
