I photographed this image south of Carmel, CA during the late afternoon. The light was beautiful and the waves were high. there was a nice breeze and about half an hour later the fog started to roll in.

Enjoy and keep on creating great images!

I photographed these pumpkins in Carmel, CA. The image is HDR edited which may look a little bit surreal for some.

Enjoy and have a great time! Don’t forget to photograph!

I was photographing the sunset over the Pacific Ocean when I discovered the red and blue color tones at the beach. I had to photograph it.

Enjoy and happy Thanksgiving!

David and I were photographing at the same location and we were coming home with different images. He posted his image on February 13, 2011 (http://photoblog.eye2eyephotostudio.com/2011/02/13/tower-and-fountain/). Compare the two images discover the difference how we see and photograph. This is the beauty of working with another photographer, you learn to see with other eyes by looking at his images and comparing them to your own.

Enjoy and thank for looking at our images!

Another photo I just like.

The crossing pattern of the seaweed is what first caught my eye, how it snakes from the lower left and doesn’t really appear to have an end on the the upper right. I tried to control the depth of field on the shot. I wanted the seaweed to be sharp against the rock. However the rock had to be clear enough for texture and details.

I used my telephoto lens at 250mm to compress the photograph front to back and an f-stop of 5.6 to control the depth of field.

On Monday Friedhelm posted the sky just prior to sunset at Point Lobos State Park.

He told me I could post the actual sunset so here it is. We had a very successful day of photography around the Carmel area. His wife Nancy even got to do a little shopping.  This is the time of the year when the sky and sunsets are the most interesting so get out there and take advantage.  Spring flowers are just around the corner.

While in Carmel last week we wandered around downtown for a while.

I looked up and saw this image. I like the contrasts between the building and the tree. The lines, textures, colors and how they all seem to point to the roof line. Looking at it now I should have also zoomed in on the balcony and the shadows it produced.  I used my great Tokina 12-24mm lens at it’s widest setting of 12mm. Set the iso at 125 for 1/50 sec at f9.

David, Nancy and I went to the coast yesterday. First we photographed in Carmel, CA and in the evening we drove to Point Lobos State Park which is located a few miles south of Carmel. The clouds were just stunning and we tried to capture them in the camera.

Enjoy and happy photographing!

Spring is just starting but signs are everywhere.

These vines and flowers were gracing a porch at Mission San Carlos  Borromeo del Rio Carmelo. I liked the way the vines all point to the flowers, even the ones in the background. The contrast of the bright blue and white flowers contrast to the darker shades of brown.

Thought I’d share a somewhat classic photo of the California Coast.

As I’ve said before I’m not a beach person. This is my kind of California Coastline, lots of rocks, crashing waves etc. This was taken at Point Lobos State Park, not very far from the parking lot. The only problem with this type of coastline is the waves can sometimes fool you. I learned that a couple of hours after this photo was taken. Camera’s fine though.
