I normally don't like people in my landscapes, but in this case I was shooting as these two wandered into the scene with a flashlight looking for hidden treasures in the tidepools. I thought it worked. This was in Little Corona in Socal. All comments are welcome, Jim

Another from Big Sur up at Julia Pfeiffer Beach. This is a rock structure just to the south where the main key hole is. This one also has a super cool opening in it, but it's not as dramatic because there is no beam (that I have seen that actually ends up shining through the opening, probably...

One from a few years back that I have finally processed... :eek: This is in Huntington Beach California and the seagulls were flocking around like this was the Birds movie by Alfred Hitchcock. All comments are welcome, Jim

Out in a food district in Long Beach waiting for Mom.

I think that's what it says, a bit hard to tell. But this was a cool brick wall on the side of an old building in Long Beach California.

Well, after I got back home I wasn't going to even process these Upper Yosemite Fall moonbow shots with the Milky Way in it. I met Kyle up there, and the shooting locations to avoid trees were very limited. Kyle and Alejandro got there first, and their spot was the best position to shoot from...

Up at Julia Pfeiffer Beach that beam through the keyhole of the rock is really cool, but I also found it was interesting to shoot it from a bit further back and wider to get the whole rock in view. There wasn't a lot of clouds this evening, but then you don't really want much in the way of...

This is from Montana De Oro up by Morro Bay in California. It's an area called Point Bouchon and unfortunately it's on P.G. &E. property so it's literally impossible to get sunset or sunrise shots there. It's only open like 8am to 4pm, and they have a guard station that you have to sign in and...

In Long Beach last weekend with Dave (Thorhammer) as we walked and the evening started to darken more we saw this one building which had these 4 beams shooting up into the sky. If you look back at Dave's shots you will see where these beams later in the evening lined up with the moon in the sky...

Caught this couple passing by on some bikes. Again in Long Beach California from last weekend. All comments are welcome, Jim

A couple of shots from Laguna Beach and down by the Montage Hotel area. When the tide gets high enough the water seems to spout out against the rocks. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is from a few years back in Huntington Beach California. I have been going back through my archives lately looking for images I have skipped over or last track of, and this is one I had found that I liked. The way the clouds flowed through the image really struck as being cool. All...

Another one from last Friday shooting with Dave (Thorhammer) in Long Beach California. I was really happy with how this turned out the VR worked great since I was shooting at 80mm at 1/20th of a sec on the Nikon 24-120mm. All comments are welcome, Jim

From Little Corona in SoCal, this is an archive shot from testing out my D800 when I first got it. I liked the color version, but as I looked at it today, I thought it might have potential as a B&W, so here it is. :) All comments are welcome, Jim

Last month the one day had some boring blue skies, so one of the things I did during the day was to put the 10 stop ND on and shoot some longer waterfall exposures. Normally that's something I just don't do, so this look is totally different to go with a 10 second exposure, but because it's...

One from a while back from Huntington Beach California. There was no clouds to be had at sunset, but for whatever the reason as the sun was getting close to setting the lower horizon turned this really cool orange. So I worked the orange glow for a while. It's one of those times that impressed...

A recent sunrise at Mono Lake in the Eastern Sierra in California. As the sun was rising above the horizon and burning through some clouds I like how these tufa's framed it. All comments are welcome, Jim

I printed this pano at 24" x 60", it's pretty immersive...double chick to make it larger. _VA17191+ by Zeph posted May 20, 2018 at 11:04 AM

From Mono Lake a few weeks ago, there was some gentle colors as the sun was beginning to rise. It was a cool, crisp and peaceful morning. All comments are welcome, Jim

This is from Laguna Beach the other day. In between shooting the mini Thors Well there I saw this outcropping a little ways out in the water that was having a really cool pour off occurring. In fact it would totally disappear under the water as the incoming waves hit it. All comments are...
