Selling in the East Village on Christmas Eve 2020 and there's hardly anyone around. When my friend said Manhattan was deserted, he wasn't kidding.

beneath the old streets of munich lies a different world. a place of bright, saturated red. a river of people flows through it, always moving. but for a moment, two of them stop. they are a quiet island of black in an ocean of red, their faces softly illuminated. she holds his arm. he looks down. it is a small, private gesture that no one else notices. a silent conversation in the middle of the noise. the station is a machine for transit, but for this brief second, it is just the perfect, vibrant backdrop for a human story.

After ditching my plans to go to Laguna Beach due to the nearly 2 hour drive in traffic, I wandered towards Santa Monica before changing directions again when I was only 15 minutes away. I always read how Santa Monica Pier is one of the most frequently photographed locations in Southern California and this has always discouraged me from going. I prefer to shoot in a less hectic location with fewer distractions and easier parking. Most of my visits to the various other beaches were more in line with my prefered environment. Point Mugu (apparently pronounced "muh-goo"--i was finally corrected last night), Malibu Pier and even where I shoot in Venice are generally void of photographers. There's something pretty unappealing to me to shoot in a crowd of other photographers who are attempting to take the same shot or at least from the same vantage as me. When I went to Huntington Beach back in early spring, I was quite disappointed when dozens of photographers showed up right at sundown, taking most of the decent locations by the pier even though I had been there for hours and hadn't seen more than a handful of people wandering around. I suppose I simply got used to the countryside of Maryland and Pennsylvania where you would never see people or photographers and each time I shot, it felt like I was the only one capturing that particular moment.
I arrived with plenty of time to set up and I wasn't really in any rush. I was at a location well before sundown for the first time in a while and it was nice not having to hurry for a change. There were a few people taking shots of themselves beneath the pier and a few others wandering around the shore but no other photographers in sight. I mentioned in my previous post that I really didn't move from this one spot and that's true. I lined up the end of the pier with where the sun would eventually drop and hoped I could capture the sun as it hid behind the pier like I did at the neighboring Manhattan Beach Pier back in January. I moved only when the glare from the exposed sun was too harsh but mainly just stood here shooting between 18-35mm the entire time.
It had been really overcast all day but there were a few breaks in the sky where the sun was fully visible and I did have some difficulties dealing with that. The sky directly around the sun would clear up momentary and I was essentially shooting straight into the sun more frequently than I wanted. Sometimes the shift happened mid shot and those turned out predictably poorer than the shorter exposure shot or the longer exposures after the sun lowered. I purchased a hot shoe splitter on amazon about a week ago and a mount for my iphone so I could have video or light from the phone next to the remote shutter transmitter and got that angled right for the 6:08pm sunset. I always mean to videotape those few minutes when the sun starts dropping quickly and goes beneath the horizon but it's not easy to manual compose a shot, fire off the remote shutter and record steady video at the same time with only 2 hands. For about $15 total, i solved that issue finally and shot about 6 minutes of undisturbed video before I needed to change my position a bit. When the actual sunset arrived, there were maybe 5 other photographers spread out to my right with tripods but the majority seemed to stay for only a few minutes.
This was my first shot of the evening after arriving at Hermosa Beach and was somewhat overexposed out of camera. I was having some trouble as I mentioned with periodic glare from direct sunlight but it was mostly fixable. The colors were great beginning about 25 minutes before the sunset and it was hard to choose whether to take many quicker shots with wave action or take the time for long exposures but I tried to alternate between just the CPL and 10 stop ND. I often wonder if it's worth buying another cheaper DSLR (like the model I have) so I can shoot long exposures with one and snap shots like this with the other. The issues though are that I eventually want to go full frame which will cost a lot and require new glass but even with another T4i or similar, I'd need another tripod and possibly another lens since my other 2 are a 40mm for portraits and a 55-250mm which almost never gets used. Neither really allows me to get close to the wider angle shot I desire but it's always so frustrating when I take a several minute exposure and can't do anything but watch the fading light while my camera processes the image. I'm sure many of you have experienced the same agony of wasted time while waiting for the camera to finish a long exposure and it's a pretty helpless feeling.
The forecast still calls for cloudy skies and the possibility of a little rain over the next 2 weeks and I'd like to head back here during that time if I have a chance. I hope to spend the next really cloudy day at Laguna Beach or somewhere else I haven't been as long as I can get there a few hours before the sunset. I'm SO glad summer is over :)

The Copper (formerly known as American Copper Buildings and 626 First Avenue) are a pair of luxury residential skyscrapers in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The buildings were developed by JDS Development and were designed by SHoP Architects.
The two towers are designed such that they appear to "dance" with each other. They are connected by a bridge approximately 300 feet from the ground, three levels in height
An early morning walk across the fields and I couldn't resist this shot, I didnt want to take the converter off because of the mist so took the shot.As the Master once said "make the most of what you have"
Scotch and I took our time between New Orleans and Arizona but after leaving the Petrified Forest, I set the GPS to Vegas and decided to just get some sleep, wake up early on Christmas Eve, and arrive in Hollywood. It was sunny but extremely windy through Nevada and into California by mid afternoon, I just wanted to stop driving.
I pulled off I-15 to let Scotch out and realized we were at the entrance to the Mojave National Preserve. I think this was Hinkley, California but am not 100% sure. The one gas station was packed with tacky items out front and a line of people inside for the bathroom and snacks.
We drove slowly down the road that led to the Preserve for a few miles before turning around as my LA arrival time was starting to get really close to rush hour. Usually on open rode and no cars in sight, I'd drive extremely slowly looking for things to photograph. The landscape was pretty barren and not all that pretty (though admittedly we didn't really go anywhere out of sight of the highway), but the road itself was nice. I don't recall seeing a road this color but it worked really well with the surrounding colors. We only stayed over here for about a half hour but didn't see another sign of life (or cars) until we got back to that gas station.

Photography workshop with Ryan Dyar
17 June - 1 July 2017
Here’s another shot from Deadvlei, Namibia, that I shot many years ago and recently reprocessed. Just after I posted the reworked version of this image here, I got a print request for another. Not surprisingly, the same thing happened: I searched for the file, opened it in Photoshop to resize and sharpen it, but never actually got that far.
Upon closer inspection of the file, I noticed some things that I had previously overlooked. They were small details, but enough to make me decide to start again from scratch. I kept the ‘old’ file open in PS as an example, and started working on the original NEF in Lightroom. That’s where I made most of the changes, and then I did the fine tuning in PS.
What has changed? I reworked the sky/dense fog, especially where it creeps over the dunes in the background, and I did some work on the blacks to get better definition in there. I also managed to get much more of the original crispness back - not sure how I screwed that up back then. I still like the overall mood and color balance, so I didn’t change much there.
Again, this just proves how our skills evolve and so do our taste and vision. I really like this ongoing creative process where no piece is ever truly finished nor perfect. As a matter of fact, each time I’ve reworked an older shot, I want to find myself some more. But that would be unfair to the new and still completely unprocessed images that are eagerly awaiting their moment of glory :-)

Our Namibia tours usually fill up years in advance, so we decided to add an extra one for 2017 and 2018. Those tours will be led by one of the finest landscape photographers here on 500px and beyond: Ryan Dyar. Ryan is not only a great guy to travel with, he is also a post-processing wizard, and he will show you a bunch of tricks to get the most out of your images.
If you want to visit Namibia, look no further. We were the world’s first company to offer photography tours to Namibia, and there is no better organized Namibia tour out there. Also, we are still the only company that offers microlight flights over the famous Namibian sand dunes, which happens to be the best way to do aerial photography, and also by far the most fun. We end the tour with a few days of serious safari in one of the best and most productive wildlife areas in Namibia - better than Etosha.
If you're interested in joining Ryan to Namibia, please check out our website for more information, images, video clips, and a very detailed tour PDF: www.squiver.com
Hope to see you there!
