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…

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.

Morro Bay Birding — Sunset and Sunrise (Sony A7RIV, Sony 200-600 5.6-6.3)

I focused my efforts on sunrise and sunset…

Vibrant September Sunset Above Bridgeport (CA)
Returning from an event in Mammoth I saw some interesting clouds once I reached Bridgeport and decided to head up to the mountains to capture this sunset. The short dirt road detour proved to be worthwhile. Eastern Sierra. September 2023.

Hawkins Peak — Last Hike of Fall (2022)
Scenes from our last hike of Fall (2022), just before the atmospheric rivers arrived and the snow began to fly. It was a short memorable hike to the summit of Hawkins Peak (Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest) with great views in all directions. We got up to the top late in the day, down to the car…

Summer Fog Setting in Along the Sonoma Coast
Sonoma County. June 2022. Tranquil scenes from the Sonoma Coast in June of 2022. Video shot in 4k at 24fps. Still image #1 was taken just as the marine layer moved in. Soon after, the fog was so dense that much of this view disappeared entirely. I enjoyed this vantage point while it lasted ……
