I was amazed, dumbfounded, giddy ... you name it ... to see this sunset, this dream ... unfurl right before my very eyes! This looks very nice ... unfurled in the lightbox! :-)
This sunset was unexpected, to say the least. I thank Char for taking me to her favorite spot at the Berkeley Pier. I took a multitude of shots {naturally} ... and this was 'one' of my favorites. I love how the sun is nestled in the clouds right over a tower. And it got better too: Char's Sliders Sunday Version!
Happy Sliders Sunday! I had to do a 'bit' of sliding ... the RAW image was very, very dark!

Some roads feel like they lead straight into a dream. This one, deep in Olympic National Park, winds through moss-covered giants and glowing green light, captured under the last rays of sunset. Every curve pulls you deeper into the wild heart of the Pacific Northwest — where adventure begins the moment the pavement disappears into the forest...
Let the Earth Rejoice
The YEAR is YOURS, WhaT WILL YOU DO WITH IT?
As the new year ends, leaving all the 2015 behind, everything that happened, happened for a reason whether it`s good or a challenge; I call it all blessings after all we are all still here to celebrate the 2016. Just like a writer we will open a new book, It`s pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called opportunity and it`s fist chapter is New Year`s Day, It`s a new year, which means new beginnings, hopes, and dreams! After all life is good, a good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realize how BLESSED we are. Happy New Year to all. My year end image for all of you, we crossed our bridges everyday, the sunsets but a new dawn comes and life begins again... our stories continues.
Adventure is normal for me. I've grown up in mountains and woods, learning how to explore before I knew the meaning of the word. But you see, now I've given it my own definition.
Exploring: Wandering. Pondering. Accustomed to, but not taken for granted. Constantly new. Overwhelmingly beautiful. A part of me.
A need to act. To go. To be.

♫ Regina Spektor – Folding Chair ♫
Come and open up your folding chair next to me
My feet are buried in the sand and there’s a breeze
There’s a shadow, you can’t see my eyes
And the sea is just a wetter version of the skies
The rest of the song gets a bit crazy ... but I do love that opening verse!!
Happy Anything Monday!!
I had something else for today, but when I saw the "Wasting Away Again In Margaritaville" title for the group today, I decided to load up one of my favorite Key West images! This was taken in July of 2004 in Mallory Square during the infamous "Sunset Celebration!" I've partaken in quite a few of these celebrations and I have to say, on this particular occasion, the sunset rocked my socks off!!
When we go to Key West, we always stop in at Magarittaville and belly up to the bar with the rest of the Parrotheads ... and we always catch the cliche tourist celebration!!

Happy Cliche Saturday to all my Flickr buds wishing they were wasting away in Magarittaville like me!!
She is what's left. She is the remnant; the promise of the Son's return and the reminder that nothing can ever fully expel light because she ushers in the stars.
|| Incredibly excited to announce my new project!
I've posted a few of my finished poems onto soundcloud, for any of you who are interested in hearing words delivered by their author. Also, they aren't published anywhere else in written form. So maybe that part is exciting too.
I'd love to hear your feedback on this! And I'm excited to share more soon!
While at it, I moved my tripod just a little bit, like a couple of feet, to my right and composed another shot. As the wind didn’t make up its mind and kept blowing and stopping, the sun also shone through the clouds on and off.
Definitely tranquility was the theme of this photo-op that I was going for but the winds kept stirring the water. It demanded a lot of patience between shots. At times I had to just sit there and wait for longer than 10 minutes.
Mirror-like was the images that I had in my head, and yet it wasn’t always there. Nonetheless, I was quite happy with the fact that I was sitting behind the camera capturing the moments that otherwise I would not have done in my life.
I remember these moments because I was there.

Just standing there for a moment while the water drops 128 meters into the canyon below. Hard not to stare at it a little longer than planned. The red bands across the cliffs are layers, millions of years of eruptions quietly stacked like pages in a book. A place easy to get lost in your thoughts.

♫ "The Best Day Ever" – SpongeBob ♫
Mr. Sun came up and he smiled at me
Said it's gonna be a good one just wait and see
Jumped out of bed and I ran outside
Feeling so extra exsatisfied
It's the best day ever
(Best day ever)
It's the best day ever
(Best day ever)
I'm so busy got nothing to do
Spent the last two hours just tying my shoe
Every flower, every grain of sand
Is reaching out to shake my hand
Sometimes the little things start closing in on me
I stick my head out the window and I look around
Those clouds don't scare me, they can't disguise
This magic that's happening right before my eyes
Soon Mr. Moon will be shining bright
So the best day ever can last all night
Yes, the best day ever's gonna last all night now
....because sometimes you just have to go with the waves!

Heading out the door to work ... going to get me another round of mocha & muffin for the road!
I hope everyone has a great day!! Be back this evening to catch up with everyone.
Happy Sunshine Tuesday!!
I was working on a bracketed shot, trying to catch some flare ... some long shadows ... when into my scene ran these two surfer boys. It was a little rude, but I can understand their excitement. The waves were cranking! Besides, I ended up loving this shot, so they are forgiven. There wasn't much color to speak of so, in an unusual move for me, I went monochrome!
Happy Thursday Folks!!
Mono Lake on Christmas Day
Christmas Day arrived.
It would have been quite a bit of an understatement if I said it was cold… No, seriously. It was pitch black dark when I woke up, and at 21°F (-6°C) I was getting ready for the morning photo shoot.
You gotta do what you gotta do, like they say, right? I grabbed my gear and headed for the lake.
It was quite overcast, so I knew that the sky would not light up. Well, not only did it turn out to be the case but also it wasn’t getting any warmer for a while. I was busy keeping my hands warm between the shots. Oh well, what can you do? That’s how Mother Nature wanted it that morning.
It was not too windy, but it did not mean that the water calm. So, I ended up shooting quite a few per composition till I saw the decent reflections of the Tufa towers.
But then again, I was also enjoying the early morning of solitude (yes, not a single soul was at the lake that early) quite a bit. It was one of the reasons why I drove all the way out there.
Kind of mystical, these Ravens and this one was insistent that I take his image. But evidently, not his soul - he retains a bit of his mystery.

I don't do a lot of HDR. I take them, play around with them ... but for the most part, I'm never happy with them. In the past, I've used Photomatix and then the new updated HDR feature in Photoshop CS5. Still not satisfied. Nik Software recently released HDR Efex Pro and I downloaded a trial to test it out. I have to say that I am blown away by this program. I re-ran some older images through it and I am really pleased with the results. The bad thing is, CS5 CRASHES and it runs incredibly SLOW (my five year old computer just isn't up to snuff with the new programs). The good news is, you can run it from Lightroom too ... though slow; it doesn't crash!!
I took this at the Chula Vista Marina. The sunrise was incredibly EPIC and my single shots just weren't capturing what I was seeing so I set up several HDR shots. This image is from three exposures. I LOVE the detail in the water; the color & the ripples. The program did a FANTASTIC job with the ghosting. There are ducks in the water so the ripples were different in all three images. The color on the horizon is spot on. The clouds are more epic here than they really were but I kind of like it like this!! And this really does look good in the lightbox!!
