Morning lightplay - San Benito County California
The more I get into photography, the more I love to study and take landscapes. It is a fun learning process. My friend Rene Rodriguez (who commented below) is one of my biggest inspirations. He has an eye and talent far beyond his years behind the lens. Seeing his images a year or two ago really opened my eyes and inspired me to follow the light more often. If you don't follow Rene, I encourage you to do so. His work is incredible.
In the past, I used to go out and big lens hunt too much. Nowadays, I love to do research, study the weather, and try to be at the right place at the right time for a dramatic landscape. This morning I was up early to get a sunrise shot, but it didn't materialize. Instead, this scene unfolded, and it was just as exciting watching the lightplay unfold.
At the beginning of winter we had lots of moisture out west and conditions were ideal for low fog mornings. Since that time we haven’t received any rain at all. Good photography hinges heavily on precipitation. It provides rain which grows green grass, and wildflowers in spring. It creates a snowpack in the Sierra which provides epic winter scenes. And it creates fog, which is something I look forward to the most. Unfortunately, this winter started with a bang and is ending on a whimper. We haven’t had a normal winter in California in 3 years. And have only received two in the last 10.
No trickery here - just adjusted white balance and light levels. A great lens and great props!

A wonderful ship I saw this summer only a few miles from Fort Flagler, Washington.
Got a little crazy with the lighting from the sky but, hey. I'm allowed to have fun too. Sky was so beautiful, I just couldn't resist. (smile)
Hope you like.
Thanks for stopping by.
