I was hiking with my son at along the rim of the Redwood Regional Park. The park is located in the San Francisco East Bay a few miles out side Moraga, CA.

Enjoy and have a great day!

During our last stop on the Fresno County Wildflower Trail I photographed Fiddlenecks again. This time I had the camera on the ground using the sky and the fence as a backdrop. I like to see man-made and natural lines in an image. It is a nice contrast and inspires me to think.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Yesterday Friedhelm and I followed Fresno’s White Flower Trail.

While we both agreed that the ‘white flowers’ were rather disappointing we did find other subjects for both our photographic styles. This was taken at our first stop. I trudged back to get this shot, Friedhelm stay closer to the car and worked on close-ups. Yup, we see different things standing in the same spot.

When we arrived at Yosemite Valley last Sunday the streets were still clear and there were no chains required. Three hours later it was a different story. A new storm front moved. In between I was able to photograph a winter wonder land.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Since the snow storm was coming into Yosemite Valley we decided to drive home to avoid the heavy snow fall. Around sunset we drove through the foothills which are not very often covered by snow. I snapped this image on Hwy 140 right outside Mariposa, CA.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

When we saw the weather report we decided to go up to Yosemite yesterday. In Mariposa, CA about half way we already were welcomed with a nice hail storm but the streets were still drive-able so we continued towards Yosemite. There was rain, hail and snow depending on the elevation. In Yosemite Valley we experienced a brief moment where the sun peaked through which created the opportunity for some great images. Camera setting: 17mm focal length, f11 (full frame sensor), 1/160sec., ISO 100.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Lake Yosemite is a wonder place to photograph.

While it is a very small lake it seems to offer new opportunities every time I go there. Notice the tension created by the opposing focal points. In the lower right you have the fisherman, upper left is the tower and to some extent the upper right has the large tree, all silhouetted.

Hornitos, CA is a place where time stands still. It is a place where 15,000 people used to live and today there are just a few houses left. The place has it’s own charm. When I drove up to Hornitos it was raining and when I arrived the light was just beautiful giving me the opportunity for some great images.

Enjoy and keep on photographing!

Last weekend Friedhelm and I stopped at Lake Yosemite.

Even though it was still some time before sunset and it was quite bright I was able to get this silhouette of this tree against the lake and sky. Well, shooting at 1/2000 of a second at f8 does give you some creative options.

It’s been quite a while since I made it to Point Lobos State Park.

Point Lobos is one of my favorite spots on the Central California Coast. I wasn’t sure how the sunset was going to turn out but it didn’t disappoint. There were quite a few people there earlier in the evening. By the time I got back to the parking lot, three cars were left. A lot of people missed a beautiful sunset.
