Have you ever had sensor spots ruin your photos? If so, you need to watch the latest video from Images in Focus where Juan and I discuss the best ways to change lenses along with various methods for cleaning your sensor. Check it out here:
When I went to China a few years back, my sensor got contaminated with dust near the beginning of my trip. I didn't know that had happened until I got home and saw a ton of dust spots on every shot - especially those taken at smaller apertures. Needless to say, I didn't process many shots from that trip since it was so much work cloning out all the sensor spots. But recording this video made me remember to go back in and process this shot! I really liked the atmosphere we had along with the glow the river caught!

This image was inspired by many people on Flickr. Lately I have been seeing the most amazing light ray images. I had to go back through a couple of years of photos to find this one but I knew I had it somewhere. This was taken in June of 2008.
Just wanted to say thanks to all my Flickr friends for sharing their images and keeping me inspired. I also, want to thank everyone for the visiting my stream and leaving all your nice comments.

This is my first photo ever to be Explored twice!
Being at 14,000 feet takes your breath away...literally, since you have 40% less oxygen than at sea level.
The shadow of Mt. Evans cast by the setting sun took away the other 60%. I have seen photos like this for Mt. Fuji, but never thought I'd see this phenomenon myself. To make it better was the convergent god rays that meet at the peak. Awe inspiring.

I named this shot after the Skyrim OST I listened to as I drove up :)
Here is a shot I took around two months ago in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I haven't been able travel this year, so I've been exploring my local mountains. There is so much to discover right here in my Bay Area back yard.
Thanks for looking!

Thunderstorms
What is a thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm is a rain shower during which you hear thunder. Since thunder comes from lightning, all thunderstorms have lightning.
Why do I sometimes hear meteorologists use the word “convection” when talking about thunderstorms?
Usually created by surface heating, convection is upward atmospheric motion that transports whatever is in the air along with it—especially any moisture available in the air. A thunderstorm is the result of convection.
What is a severe thunderstorm?
A thunderstorm is classified as “severe” when it contains one or more of the following: hail one inch or greater, winds gusting in excess of 50 knots (57.5 mph), or a tornado.
How many thunderstorms are there?
Worldwide, there are an estimated 16 million thunderstorms each year, and at any given moment, there are roughly 2,000 thunderstorms in progress. There are about 100,000 thunderstorms each year in the U.S. alone. About 10% of these reach severe levels.

Crepuscular rays
Crepuscular rays /kr?'p?skj?l?r/ (more commonly known as sunbeams, sun rays, or god rays), in atmospheric optics, are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from the point in the sky where the sun is located. These rays, which stream through gaps in clouds (particularly stratocumulus) or between other objects, are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud-shadowed regions. Despite seeming to converge at a point, the rays are in fact near-parallel shafts of sunlight. Their apparent convergence is a perspective effect, similar, for example, to the way that parallel railway lines seem to converge at a point in the distance. The sun rays do converge to the sun, but the sun is much further away than the rays might make it look like.[2]
The name comes from their frequent occurrences during twilight hours (those around dawn and dusk), when the contrasts between light and dark are the most obvious. Crepuscular comes from the Latin word "crepusculum", meaning twilight.[3]

I had an opportunity to tag along with photographer, Dave Allen, during a recent workshop in the Southern Appalachians. The evening ended as it typically does with Dave, at one of, if not the best, wide, sweeping view of mountain layers on the Blue Ridge Parkway--Cowee Mountain Overlook. Cowee Mountain Overlook is located at milepost 430 and looks out towards the Cowee Mountain Range in Macon County, North Carolina and beyond to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP). Anyone who knows Dave, knows that he is a magnet for light rays as well ;-) He's got the forecasting in the mountains down to a reflex and has a unique ability to get me and others onto interesting light conditions!

The edge of day...Chasing the light in the woodland forest, following the path towards the setting sun. Francis/King Regional Park, Saanich, Vancouver Island, BC.
Francis King Regional Park is a 107-hectare park, nestled in rural Saanich. The woodland park is home to massive old growth forest including magnificent 500-year-old Douglas-fir trees. There is a vast network of woodland walking and hiking trails as well as a boardwalk loop trail for those with mobility issues, an ideal place for visitors of all abilities to explore nature.
"In the right Light, at the Right time, everything is Extraordinary"
This image was taken during my fall trip at the Bear Rock Preserve in Dolly Sods Wilderness Area in West Virginia. On this occasion the sunrise was a bust as far as beautiful color in the clouds, however as I stuck around the light began to come through the small breaks in the clouds. This produced an amazing show of light rays in the valley below! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Taken last Sunday morning on Siggate lane right next to Castleton, some of the strongest light rays I have witnessed.

Snowfall over night created an absolutely amazing winter landscape. I was so lucky to see the spectacular crepuscular rays ‘Angel Rays’ as the dark moody sky passed over Leather Tor.
It can be a little ugly getting up at 4:00am but it was worth it!

Foggy morning and clear sky in the "Forêt de Rambouillet". A perfect place and time for an enchanting walk.

Update 11/9/23: There was a multi-car collision this evening just meters away from the trees pictured above, at the entrance to the Martinazzi Square on SW Warm Springs St.
So this is an image that's totally different for me. A friend of mine and I were shooting sunrise the other morning and the fog was just CRAZY thick. After the sun came up the fog started to lift, but was still hanging around in the trees. It created some surreal scenes like this. This to me looks like a painting!

A breath-taking winter sunset casts a golden glow over the snow covered horizon on the bank of semi-frozen Saint-Lawrence river, illuminating the snow-covered rocks and dried vegetation in the foreground. A lone kayaker paddles through the calm, icy waters, creating a serene and adventurous atmosphere. The image represents the beauty of winter solitude, and outdoor exploration in tranquillity.

The Renaissance-style castle, built in about 1550, was remade into a monastery for the Pauline friars in 1663. Later it was owned by the Counts of Attems and since several decades the monastery has been managed by Minorite monks.
The church was added In the years 1665-1675. On the ground floor of the tower in the middle of the image is the monastery's greatest treasure: a 17th-century pharmacy painted with religious and medical scenes.
The picture was taken from the entrance to the herb and vegetable garden, where medicinal herbs are still being cultivated.
