Keyhole Arch | Pfeiffer Beach | Big Sur
I recently went on a brief road trip with my daughter. I was so sad to see the dry, brown landscape as I traveled up the coast. Yesterday Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought state of emergency in California. It seems like the weather is crazy all over this planet.
Despite the brown, barren mountains, this beach looked the same. I applaud Jackie for hanging out with me in the freezing cold so I could get a few photos of my favorite spot.
Happy Saturday Folks!

Project 365
Tuesday • November 30, 2010
Cheesy title, I know! 'Tis the Season I Guess!! I can't think of anything else at the moment. And another bird picture? What gives? I'm not sure as birds aren't my usual subject!
Nothing special today; just a Happy Tuesday!
Project 365
Saturday • January 2, 2010
I do not know what possessed me to brave the arctic chill, but I grabbed the camera and headed down to the Fox River for a few sunrise photos. It was so darned, ridiculously cold! Do they make special gloves for idiot photographers? Because I need them! My fingers were literally NUMB after only about 10 minutes of shooting! I had grand plans to, quickly abandoned, and this is what I ended up with.
ng colors and squiggly lights punctuate this ordinary scene as the shutter stays open to let a bit of time accumulate. The figures are prominent. A line hints at separation and a fleeing figure makes me curious. The story is there and it's for each viewer to interpret.

I haven't had too much time to look at any of my photos. This is one I really like. A few of you probably already saw this on Facebook. Rachel called me from her morning commute and said I needed to get out there and 'shoot the moon!' And so I did! I had a bit of time to play with my 10-stop ND filter. And of course this was before the baby came!!
Today is the family photo shoot, then grandpa flies back home tonight.
Happy Anything Wednesday Everyone!! I will be around later this evening to see what everyone is up to. Been missing my Flickr peeps!! :-)
Spotted this interesting Ferrari while strolling in Wynwood, Miami. My husband couldn't believe someone would do that. It's definitely one of a kind! and I loved the way the light was beaming down on her.

Had a wonderful relaxing coastal drive during winter break.
This beach was wonderful for sunset.
Only us and the birds, leaving our marks in the sand.
Distincion and details may hide behind glass but the nuances show through delighting my eye with shapes and color and horizontal sweeps of space.

Parco Talenti was all kinds of peaceful — golden light, silhouettes, and that perfect hush before night falls.

Storm at Sea
Beautiful light; wonderful shapes that repeat in a pattern; brilliant drama in color. All conspire to created a visual piece that calls for closer study. A single frame. No layers added. It is as shot with a tiny bump in saturation.

Mono Lake on Christmas Day
And just like that, the show was over. As all the gorgeous light diminished, there was nothing much to work with, and it was time to pack up and go.
What a thrilling ride that I was able to catch though!
I don’t know when I would be back again, but hopefully I can go back very soon. I was super glad that I was able to catch clouds hovering over the snow-covered mountains while having some fantastic reflections of them.
Okay… Now, I need another adventure...
Bouquet
I went dumpster diving and found this bouquet waiting for capture. Rich colors join clear patterns and lines. I can almost reach out and pick it but use a camera instead to keep for the ages.

"Light glorifies everything. It transforms and ennobles the most commonplace and ordinary subjects. The object is nothing, light is everything" ~ Leonard Missone
shot was taken at Changi Boardwalk Singapore...
ICM, interntional camera movement, combines with double exposure to create chaos out of a colorful street scene. Buildings tilt and join forces for a multi patterned backdrop. The white line provides a path of excape. A story only imagined is created with a little camera motion and doubling the fun with darkroom magic.

Mono Lake on Christmas Day
I didn’t have to do a whole lot for the shot that you’re looking at. Light did all the work for me.
All I had to do was simply replant my tripod, aim my camera at and compose a shot of the beautifully snow-covered Mono Dome and Lee Vining Peak with those little Tufa rocks floating in the water in the foreground.
I have to admit though that it is not always this easy and that there were times when it was extremely tricky to compose a shot when using a prime 24mm lens.
For instance, there were times when not enough room gave me a hard time planting the tripod with a few elements in the foreground in mind. In such cases, I simply didn’t have the luxury of changing focal length when using a 16-35mm lens.
Sometimes such a make or break situation challenges me and sometimes it takes time to compose a single shot.
And yet, it is the sharpness (as I demonstrated a few posts ago) and the almost nonexistent distortion across the entire frame that please my eye.
I also appreciate its light weight of under 1 lb (15.7 oz) tremendously. Yes, there are lightweight 16-35mm lenses, but none of them has the aperture of F/1.4.
Meanwhile, the tranquil view that you’re now looking at simply tickled me to pieces.
Mono Lake on Christmas Day
The sun was peeking through the clouds and started shedding light on the snow covered Mono Dome and Lee Vining Peak.
The lake was calming just in time, as if it was a cue. And of course, as it got brighter, I had to run longer and longer in spite of having the 10-stop ND filter. I was just simply happy that the reflections the mountains and the clouds were getting clear.
The sunlight was slowly waking up Mt. Warren in the far distance (the snow-covered tallest peak in the top right corner of the frame).
Then, this gorgeous light would soon disappear. I had to act fast to take full advantage of this opportunity.
Water Screen
A cascading water wall turns an ordinary street scene into an abstract. altered reality. Wonderful repeating textures morph light and objects into a pattern that delights my eye. A small clearing gives substance to a sole walker in that other world. She has no idea what kind of wonder surrounds her.

Il riflesso del cielo nell'acqua ci invita a scoprire un universo parallelo, dove realtà e immaginazione si intrecciano. Ogni increspatura modifica il disegno, trasformando il familiare in qualcosa di straordinario. Non esistono regole, né limiti: solo la libertà di sognare. In questo gioco di luci e ombre, il confine tra ciò che è reale e ciò che è possibile si dissolve, e siamo liberi di vedere il mondo con occhi nuovi. Lasciamoci trasportare dall'illusione e scopriamo la bellezza nascosta nelle pieghe dell'immaginazione.

Another photo from my exhibition!
Vatnajökull is the biggest glacier on Iceland. His size is 8100 km². I wanted to cross a part of it on my trekking tour in June 2018...but things went a bit wrong...

Mono Lake on Christmas Eve
So, this was the first long exposure shot of the evening. I liked the composition a lot, so I kept everything as the test shot was taken. I started off from the beach closest to the boardwalk and slowly walked my way around the shore.
By the time when I shot this, the daylight was already faded immensely, so I knew I didn’t have much time left. Well, that is often the case in winter anyway. Oh, did I tell you that the temperature was dropping fast?
I wanted to show you how crisp these shots were, so I included the 1:1 ratio images of the rocks. It’s impossible to see the small details when you look at images on Instagram.
Please pinch to zoom them. You will see all the delicate textures of the rocks floating in the foreground or the Tufa towers in the lake (aka warship). Look at the fine blood-vessels looking little branches of the shrub next to the floating rocks.
Gotta love those details.
Happy new year, everyone!
