The giant redwood trees in Redwood national park. The hikes in this park are really wonderful.
Shot handheld using the OM-1, taking advantage of the awesome image stabilization, 1/6 second and the image is very sharp. Also used the built-in HDR mode which managed to keep colors in the sky and the parts of the trees at the top.
Me standing by the Big Tree in Redwood National Forest. Almost 300ft (87 meters) tall, and about 1,800 old. Pretty amazing. The trail has many trees like this one.
20 km north of San Francisco, at the foot of Tamalpais Mountain and adjacent to the Pacific coast, is the sequoia forest called Muir Woods.

The hikes in the Redwood National Park are really nice.
Shot with the OM1, the image stabilization is really handy as it is pretty dark because the trees are so tall. I was able to shoot handheld with a 1/8 sec shutter speed, and the image is very sharp. You can see that my wife is blurry because she was walking on the bridge, but the rest is sharp.
The redwoods are really big, so fun to see. It is quite dark, so the image stabilization of the OM-1 was very handy. I was able to keep ISO low, and have the shutter speed be 0.5 seconds, and the image is still very sharp.
From a hike among the mighty redwood trees in Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park, up in Northern California, in May 2015.
Big Basin is California's oldest State Park, established in 1902, earning its designation as a California Historical Landmark. It is part of the Northern California coastal forests ecoregion and is home to the largest continuous stand of ancient coast redwoods south of San Francisco. It contains 10,800 acres of old-growth forest as well as recovering redwood forest, with mixed conifer, oaks, chaparral and riparian habitats.
Some of the beautiful redwood trees with a little reflection going on in one of the streams that can be found at this location in the Tararua Forest Park.

Redwoods Forest is a forest of naturalised Californian coastal redwood on the outskirts of Rotorua, New Zealand. The 6 hectares (15 acres) stand of Californian Redwood trees were planted at the beginning of the 20th century as part of a programme to assess the viability of various exotic tree species for commercial forestry in New Zealand. Subsequently these trees have grown faster than in their native homeland due to the richer soil and higher rainfall in the area, reaching over 70 metres (230 ft) height only 100 years later. The stand of trees is now protected and has become very popular for recreational use.

This shot is from a motorcycle trip through the Avenue of the Giants, a scenic highway in Northern California, running through Humboldt Redwoods State Park. It contains several of the tallest trees in the world. These trees are magical. From what I've read, thankfully, The Avenue of Giants and Humboldt Redwoods State Park are not immediately threatened by the California wildfires.

California Coast Redwood, a wonderful gnarly example of one of these giant survivors. I liked this one in particular for the story of fire damage as well as the burl - hard, knotty growths that form from dormant seedlings on a living tree.
Long ago my parents traveled this way, and they purchased a slice of burl that my dad, skilled in wood-working, turned into a card table. I still have it, an amazing piece of wood.
Scene from Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in California, which probably is my favorite redwood park, with tones of wonderful hikes. Captured with an old Sigma Super Wide 24mm lens. (K1BD5424)
Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is part of the Redwood National and State Parks located near Crescent City, California. These redwoods are some of the tallest trees on earth.

Hard to believe there are places still like this left. So peaceful and quiet. Redwood National Park, California.
I recently came back from a trip where I again visited the Redwoods and everytime I had gotten unlucky as the Redwoods is a very specific place for weather - you need fog and sun !!
Anyways after heading down the coast I decided to give up on the Redwoods and head home but on my drive home that night I could not see five feet in front of me so I decided to wait overnight at the Battery Point Lighthouse - next morning it was even worse for fog but the forecast called for sun so I headed into the Redwoods and found a comp and then waited for about two hours and the sun wait its appearance - One of the best sites I have ever seen ! I had sun rays all day in the Redwoods !
Thanks for looking and taking the time out of your day !!!
In 1926, San Francisco Hotel heiress, Margaret Stewart, commissioned renowned architect Julia Morgan to build this country estate, today known as Redwood Grove. The estate was part of a planned 1,290 acre resort community by the Benbow family.
Today, Redwood Grove has been conscientiously restored to the historical detail and grandeur characterized by Julia Morgan. Her design hallmarks included painstaking attention to detail and craftsmanship, which incorporate the owner’s private collection of art and antiques.
