Spent the day cruising around the coast. When I passed through Swansboro I couldn't resist a few shots of Capt. Phillips basking in some beautiful, warm afternoon light!
Looking back at the sunrise, heading out the Golden Gate chasing King salmon. (We got one nice fish!)

This beach in Wailea, right outside the restaurant, Sarento's on the Beach, was an incredible place to catch the sunset. There were so many elements of interest, including the silhouetted backdrop of West Maui.
By the way, I'd highly recommend eating at Sarento's on the Beach if you ever get the chance! The seafood and the service is incredible, and this is the sunset you'll be treated with.
Recalled coming across these teal chairs and table with such a lush backdrop and couldn't resist grabbing a shot!
surreal⛰️
where the beauty surrounds you on all sides
and all you can see are majestic mountainsides – surreal.
where the air is so clean and crisp,
and all you can feel is happiness inside – surreal.
this photo was taken at williams creek reservoir in colorado this summer. my favorite place to be.. i feel at peace with nature and myself, fully grounded and open to all experiences. all negative thoughts and feelings just seem to float off to the clouds.. as i breathe.. breathe in the happiness.

Autumn arrives at Fall Creek in the Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park, in Santa Cruz, California. Two exposures, at 20 and 30 seconds, were blended for this image. A circular polarizer helped knock down the glare and accentuate the colors.
I like heading down the road - only 2.8kms from home and visit Crystal Cascades. Unfortunately it was nearly late morning, super bright, hot, humid, flies galore and not the best time of the day to be photographing. So tripod out, Circ Polarizer on (gave the ND filters the flick at this particular location) and snapped away. The filtered light through the trees knocked down the brightness of the tropical summer sun.
Always too much information in the rainforest. Would be ok if you viewed it a couple of metres larger, but definitely not small, like here.
Moments after passing under the Golden Gate Bridge, heading to dock in San Francisco.

Snow melt and recent rains replenish the streamflow of this beautiful South Fork of the Tye River below Crabtree Fall Day Use area and borders the Priest Wilderness.
A gorgeous little waterfall just downstream from Elakala #1. The following day this little gem was covered in 8 inches of new fallen snow. I had a 3 hour drive through the W.Va. mountains scheduled for that day, so I ran with my tail between my legs for the North Carolina mountains a day early! Here are two wonderful images from the the next day by Randall Sanger and Bill Fultz
236/365-Like a lot of photogs, any time I have to read its usually a photography book, so I thought I would pay homage to the ones that I go back to again and again along with the equipment I practice on after doing the reading!!
BTW the camera seen here, My sweet baby the Nikon D90 took this photograph. ;-) (ahh... the magic of mirrors!!)
-Strobist info-60w blue sky light bounced off ceiling
OK, here's the detailed list:
Starting at the bottom is one of my lightroom books:
--Lightroom 2-Streamlining your digital photography process By Nat Coalson. Now I must say, I liked the Scott Kelby book much better, BUT, I gave it away to one of my friends daughters as she went off to college with her new camera and Lightroom in hand!!
--The Hot Shoe Diaries by Joe McNally the King of small flash. This book is awesome, as was his other, the moment it clicks. I don't do a lot of OCF, so I am still learning, but reading and seeing what he does with 1 or 2 speedlights is inspiring and part of my journey for the second half of my 365!!
--DIgital Landscape Photography-in the footsteps of Ansel Adams and the Masters by Michael Frye Back to my love, landscapes! This book is filled with tons of Michaels amazing photos and great explanations in capturing a wide range of landscapes with digital cameras that will rival the masters. It helped me fully understand how to use the Adams' zone system with my DSLR and create perfect exposures on the first shot!!
--Photographing Nature this is one I just got at Costco, by Ralph Clevenger, so I have just skimmed it but it seems really great with lots of tips and tricks for all the things I like to photograph!!
--Understanding Exposure Ahhh, the classic by Bryan Peterson! I think pretty much everyone either knows about or HAS this one, a go to guide for Noobs and even experienced shooters, a real must have and a great first book!!!
OK, and finally on top for a reason...
--Vision & Voice:Refining your vision using Lightroom This is David DuChemin's latest release and this book, and Davids blog and E-book series have changed my photography LIFE forever!!! His views and insights into how we see things have completely altered my processing and composition, his blogs and books have made me look at what, how and most importantly WHY I take photographs and have forced me to look inward in a search for my personal "vision" and helped me learn how to bring the "voice" to my vision in the way I create and process the images I produce!! This impact may sound like photog hyperbole, but if you are stuck and wonder what this is all about and find your desires waning, your creativity tanks empty or a lack of personal connection with your art, then I dare you to start reading Davids stuff and things will change, for sure!! I pointed a friend to David's material and she experience the same photographic revival that I did!!(Right CM??) It really is that transforming!!!
got really lucky on our last day at Maryland during our recent spring visit there and was treated to this very beautiful sunset at the National Harbor...i found a small puddle on top of a huge boulder along the shoreline and used it to reflect the sky with its awesome colors...pls. View On Black
207/366: Into The Mountains
A shot from Coal Bank Pass Summit in Colorado at an elevation of 10,640 feet. If you haven’t driven on this road, let me tell you it is an adventure. I have to give a shot out to my father who did his best to stop when I would ask, in order to jump out and take a photography. This road between Durango Colorado and Silverton Colorado is the only road that will get you into Silverton from the south and it traverses many mountain passes and peaks. Nestled in the heart of the San Juan National Forest this road takes you into the forest and into the mountains unlike anything I’ve ever seen before in my life. It was an exhilarating adventure into a land and landscape my eyes and heart had only imagined. The vibrant green soft plushness of the grass, the mountains plainly visible to the eye, the snow-caped peaks, the gigantic tall and skinny pine trees and the brilliant blue sky all made for a photographers dream.
This photo was taken with my Lee Filters Circular Polarizer and Big stopper for an exposure time of 6.0 seconds at f/8, ISO 100 – 14mm.

Print for week #12 of 52 for 2009 "52 Prints" project.
One of several rain showers that passed through the valley quickly 3/25/09. Would have loved to have had the time to setup a timelapse for a couple hours as they each passed through.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - After a much longer than expected hike, I made it to the 3,192 foot summit of Coyote Mountain just before 10AM. There was an abundance of cholla cactus and agave plants at the top, both of which stabbed me in the legs. Before leaving I found the summit register which contained a Sony camera lens for some reason and a log which was last signed over 14 months ago. In retrospect I should not have pushed on to the summit. I had a steep 5 mile descent ahead of me while temperatures soared to the upper 90's with no shade available. I didn't bring nearly enough water and was on the verge of heat stroke by the time I made it back to my car.
The rain this summer has been immense - our yard has never looked so lush! After receiving another volley of rain in the past 24 hours (3.2"/81mm), our neighboring Minnehaha Falls is just surging like I've never seen it - this includes the spring's thaw. I was able to escape during lunch to grab a few long exposures before heading back to work. Enjoy!
The Point Betsie Lighthouse just north of Frankfort in Benzie County has a nice little public beach next to it. A great place to spend a summer afternoon.
Too early for direct sunlight so I pushed up the ISO. I'll post others with more sunlight.

Downtown Manhattan as seen from Governor's Island immediately prior to sunset.
This three minute exposure was taken through a B+W ND 110 filter on top of a B+W circular polarizer to capture the crisp, deep blue.
No dia 9 de julho tinha inicio um dos maiores incêndios de 2013 e que lavrou durante vários dias, afetando os concelhos de Alfandega da Fé, Torre de Moncorvo e Mogadouro.
Esta fotografia foi tirada a mais de 20Km da origem e ilustra bem o calor gerado.
The ruins of a three story apartment that burned about 12 days ago. The ground floor was occupied by a few businesses. Apartments were on the second and third floors. The fire started on the third floor. There were no injuries or deaths, just a lot of cold fireman. It was -13 degrees that night

Lamborghini Aventadors are rare of course, but red ones are even more rare. Here's one at Cars & Coffee Irvine.
Notice the two Corvette C7s flanking the Lambo.

I'm exhausted, I must say. Four hours of yardwork on Saturday resulted in a bit of a sun burn. Sunday I joined my buddy Rick Young in shooting a destination beach wedding in Los Angeles. More sunburn. Flew in at 7am, got home around 10:30pm. Last Thursday I was notified that I was needed in Vegas this week for my day job, so today I was up at 4:15am after hitting the sack around midnight. And here I sit in the little control room wanting to focus on work, but I'm tired, cranky and miss my girls back home.
So of course I figured why not write up this blog post real quick, since I haven't had anytime to do it before now.
I love this image. It was taken on our trip to the Two Guns ghost town back on April 2nd. To get in this spot, I hiked down an animal-created path that was made up of a combination of deer prints and perhaps a few bear prints. My buddy Ken Peterson told me I'd probably get bitten by a snake while down here too. Lots of tall, dead things. It may be hard to tell, but all those tall branches at the bottom of this image were over 12 feet tall at least.
But I saw this bridge out in the distance and wanted to see what it looked like underneath. The aforementioned Rick Young has a great shot of the bridge from far away right here. I love how he applied a bit of Focal Point foreground blur to make the image pop.
I liked this angle though and am glad I made the hike to get here. A beautiful, old bridge and one of the main reasons I wanted to visit Two Guns in the first place.

I've been on an incredible streak of luck lately finding new species of jumping spiders. This morning it was my good fortune to find a female Phidippus putnami slowly crawling out of a latch on a gate. I wasn't even sure these spiders were to be found in this area. Now the search for the elusive male can begin. This is one of the first shots I took of her this evening, before she had a chance to crawl out of my Wendy's soft drink cup I was keeping her in. The translucent red of the cup really adds an appealing touch of color to the image in my opinion.
- www.kevin-palmer.com - While climbing up to the Crater Lakes cirque, I passed by this waterfall with a view. Cliff Lake is just barely visible in the center.
305/366: The Big Picture – Colorado in Fall
I typically like to be in the mountain, among the trees, with the wildlife – but sometimes I enjoy taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture. The bigger picture can be so beautiful, so pristine, so majestic, awe-inspiring, if we just take the time to step outside the details to truly see the beauty which is unfolding in front of us.
Photo taken in Colorado with my Nikon D810 and Lee Filters CP. This is a 2 shot panoramic.
