I've been waiting for this scene for a while, and it took two sunrise hikes to make it work. The moon was a nice bonus and it setting next to a feature was even better (though it required a jog around the lake to make it work). All comments welcome! Tim #1 Icy Reflection #2 Brushed

Eclipse day was a long day. I hiked up to a lake at sunrise for forecasted clouds (that didn't show up), so I looked around for ice patterns. All comments welcome! Tim Delicate Spring Ice

I went up to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest for the eclipse, and took two. All comments welcome! Tim #1 Blood of the Ancient #2 Eclipse Basket

I went up to Tioga Pass two sunsets in a row, and the lake ice visibly changed in one day. All comments welcome! Tim #1 Break in Winter #2 Opening Up #3 Painted Ice

After my hike up the canyon, I parked to sleep at the salt flats, but it was still 95 degrees. It was pretty cloudy, but I decided to walk out onto the flats toward moonset to see what I could make while I waited for the temperature to come down. Fortunately, some of the clouds stuck around for...

After hiking out of the oasis a Sierra Wave started making its way over the mountains. The prince's plume was surrounded by pollinators earlier, but they went to ground at sunset. All comments welcome! Tim Prince's Road

After my initial unsatisfying midday trip, I returned to this oasis in the evening for the no direct sunlight treatment. I also came with an umbrella since this spot was directly under the fall and I was using a lens with a bulbous front element. The area had changed pretty dramatically in the...

We decided to drive to LA for a show and stopped by Vasquez Rocks along 14 on the way back home. Stormy midday light called for IR. All comments welcome! Tim Enchanted Storm

This is a waterfall new to me that I found after following some green. It was absolutely beautiful, but the composition that I liked most had some harsh light. Oh well, I'll just have to go back. All comments welcome! Tim #1 Tangled in an Oasis #2 Living Wall #3 Awning

We made a quick trip out to Death Valley before it gets unbearably hot, and hung out at the salt flats. We'll try to make a return trip since I'd like to return to a waterfall new to us. (The moon was one day after third quarter). All comments welcome! Tim #1 Shape Potpourri #2 Smooth and...

It's been threatening to snow for a while (and it will tonight), and the clouds have been interesting. All comments welcome! Tim #1 Stairway #2 The Two Towers

I've been trying to make these two compositions work for a year, and I got something acceptable for both in one sunrise. All comments welcome! Tim #1 Peeking Over the Gorge #2 Morrison and Comrades

A storm was promising to clear during the night, so I went to Tunnel View and Cathedral Beach. All comments welcome! Tim #1 Clearing Storm by Moonlight #2 Clouds Resurrecting

After spending 6 hours on a light-painted milky way arch at the sand tufa and not liking the results, I came back to trusty old South Tufa for the quarter moonset. The moon set when capturing the last image ground layer, and then I was ready for milky way. Even with using the degree readings on...

Some more images from our trip to the dunes. All comments welcome! Tim #1 Last Chance Light #2 Mellow Desert Wind #3 Intersection

I just finished a project photographing all six major dune fields in Death Valley. Some recency bias may be happening, but these are my current favorite. All comments welcome! (12mm, 16 images stacked at 6400 ISO, one image for the ground layer at ISO 800, two light images for the sand) Tim...

I was waiting for a clearing storm for wider scenes, so I looked down for the rest of the time. All comments welcome! Tim #1 A Touch of Winter on Spring and Fall #2 Frozen Light #3 Don't Forget to Look Up

I went down to Bishop to check on lower elevation blooms (maybe in two weeks?), and Sierra Waves abounded. All comments welcome! Tim #1 Sage Remains #2 Volcanic Lands

I was headed out for my normal sunrise routine, but the moon positioned itself nicely. I scrolled through 6 months of Photopills to findthe same angle of moon after sunrise, so I'll be returning in 28 weeks and a day after this one. The shutter speed was relatively slow, it was dark, and I was...

Clouds were elusive even though there was recent snow, so I woke up at 2:30 and looked for night opportunities instead. (30 image stack at 31mm 12,800 ISO, f/3.2, 8 seconds for the stars and 1 image at 800 ISO, f/4, 3.5 min for the ground). All comments welcome! Tim Galaxy's Edge
