  • Frozen Meadow Sunset Skijor (GoPro 11 Mini)

    Frozen Meadow Sunset Skijor (GoPro 11 Mini)

    With cold temps, cloud cover, and strong winds it was no surprise that the snow above our meadows remained relatively frozen and fast this past week. In firm conditions like these, where the dogs can consistently stay on top of the snow it is doesn’t take much for your momentum to really pick up while…

  • Echo and Yuba Make National News During Tahoe Blizzard

    Echo and Yuba Make National News During Tahoe Blizzard

    Echo can create her own path and power through almost any amount of snow but at 12 Yuba will wait for me to go first, which is understandable. After sharing this video during the Tahoe blizzard I signed an agreement with a licensing agency to distribute the footage. It was then shown on Fox News…

  • Lake Tahoe Leap Year Blizzard Footage (2.28.24 – 3.2.24)

    Lake Tahoe Leap Year Blizzard Footage (2.28.24 – 3.2.24)

    This storm was impressive, to say the least. Winds were relentless and we went from having an insignificant snowpack at lake level (6,200 – 6,300 ft) to being completely buried over the course of a long weekend. For licensing inquiries please email: info@davidnbraun Location: Lake Tahoe Basin. South Lake Tahoe, CA. Dates: 2.28.24, 3.1.2, 3.2.24

  • Last Light on Fannette Island

    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…

    Low Tide Husky Skijor w/ Echo and Yuba (GoPro 11 Mini)

    It doesn’t take a lot of snow for these guys to have a good time.  Fortunately, we have a couple of much needed storms on the way that should help start to turn things around this winter in terms of our snowpack in the Sierra.  But, up until this point, our snowpack has been dismal and very…

    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…

    Journey Down the Lower Owyhee (GoPro 11 Mini, GoPro 8)

    In May of 2023 our group (3 packrafts, 1 raft) took advantage of the above average spring runoff in the Owyhee River Canyon to float the roughly 50 mile section of wild and scenic river from Rome, OR to Birch Creek, OR. While my focus was primarily on still photography, we documented the adventure with…

  • Starboard Inflatable Zen Roll Launch

    Starboard Inflatable Zen Roll Launch

    Last Fall I photographed the Starboard Zen Roll Inflatable SUP boards and today they have launched. The two boards I paddled and photographed were the IGO and the Touring models. These high performance and extremely compact boards (pack 30% smaller than previous versions) were great to bring camping, on hikes to lakes without immediate road…
