Last Light on Fannette Island
I had this shot in mind for a while, having skied to this vantage point many times in the past, then dropping in on the other side of it. Example from 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfNS4j7OwUE The moment I set out to capture was the very last light of the day hitting Fannette Island, with fresh snow in…

Calm Before the Storm
Calm before the storm … it truly felt like spring the past few days with minimal wind and warm daytime temps. These were some of the views I enjoyed while touring around with Echo. The snow was soft and wanting to transition into corn, but did not quite get there. Still, I enjoyed some nice turns that…

Looking towards the Crystal Range just Before Sunset
Yesterday’s view of the Crystal Range (Desolation Wilderness) in the distance before riding back down at sunset. The wind was fairly insignificant in north facing trees until I reached this exposed spot at the summit where I took this photo from.

Beach Vibrance

This image, “Beach Vibrance,”…

Late Fall Morro Strand Sunset
While camping at this beach I’ve had a lot of luck shooting sunsets out towards the open ocean (Example: Vibrant Morro Strand Sunset), but until recently the clouds never lined up well for me above the iconic Morro Rock at sunset. Fortunately, on the last night of our coastal camping trip, and just before a storm…

Morro Bay Birding — Sunset and Sunrise (Sony A7RIV, Sony 200-600 5.6-6.3)
California’s central coast is an excellent area for bird photography. Spending sunrise and sunset on the beach near our campground with a 200-600 lens I managed to photograph and capture video of a Great Blue Heron, a couple of Snowy Egrets, a Great Egret, and Long-billed Curlews. I focused my efforts on sunrise and sunset…
