This image was shot in my little studio, with just one flash with a honeygrit in front of the lamp. This low-key image looks dark but all the details are visible.

Nothing to spectacular here, just some typical alpine glow on Mt. Hood at Lost Lake. Was shooting with my bud, Gary Randall www.flickr.com/photos/rowdey/ here the other night.

She smiled, as her man held her two hands gently while saying those two little words... I clicked right in-between "I" and "do".
A lovely Saturday night wedding by the bay, in the Florida Keys.
[She faced the sunset and and I was able to capture the golden sunset light on her face. She seemed to be glowing with her happiness...and also with the beautiful light. The water behind her was blown out, but it didn't matter; the great light was on her.]

This photograph is a testimonial to the benefits of anticipation and preparation. With the slow-moving large format camera equipment I use, I'm much better off when I can predict and wait for a situation, rather than react to one that is already unfolding. On this winter day I had hiked up into the foothills above Halls Valley, east of San Jose, CA, and was now heading back down along Los Huecos (The Hollow) Trail in Joseph D. Grant County Park. I stopped here and noticed this unusual composition at a moment when the lighting was flat and lifeless. The sun was blocked by clouds, but I could see that it might emerge below them in a few minutes before finally setting behind the mountains to the west. Optimistically, I set up my camera for the photograph and waited. Everything cooperated according to plan as the scene became painted in artist's light! Unlike the lighting that preceded this moment, the fallen oak tree is not lifeless at all, but merely dormant; I returned here a few months later to see it covered with new leaves. Apparently the tree fell many years ago when it was young, and has lived like this ever since! Pacific or oak mistletoe (Phoradendron villosum) can be seen growing in the tree's outer branches. Pacific mistletoe is native to western North America from Oregon south into Mexico, where it grows in oak woodland, and is a parasitic plant on host trees, especially oaks.
Another sunset shot from the Sedona Airport. There was a big crowd there, which makes sense, as this is one of the best shows in town.

This was such a spectacular scene and I'm so happy I made it down there at the right time to catch the magic light and this wasn't easy. I didn't know this location and was just looking around the map 2 hours before sunset and found an icon indicating a lighthouse on valentia island. Well it was on the north-west coast and I figured it would maby make for a nice sunset scene with the sun coming from the back of the shooting location. so far so good but now I had to get there and I nearly didn't make it since I just kept driving the wrong roads.... back again next try and finally the nearest, steepest road led down to this location. AND just in time for the last sunrays to light the lighthouse :-) soon after they were gone behind the mountains in the back.
The waves were gorgeous and kept hitting the rocks to the left of me with force and sometimes even standing nearly 10meters of I nearly got my gear all wet ;-) I took a couple of shots and layerd 5 of em in PS to get the best out of the scene. You might even notice a very long exposure which looks a bit like fog in the foreground. Hope you like it and I'm open to any suggestions since I looked at this to long and am maybe missing some obvious flaws.
cheers
The rain stopped just before sunset and the clouds cleared in the west in time for the sun to shine on Half Dome. This is June and during the storm earlier in the day, snow collected on the upper peaks including Half Dome.

Los Huecos Trail, Joseph D. Grant County Park, Santa Clara County, CA, 4/26/2012

Attractive weather and lighting often occur in the hours around sunrise and sunset, and this spring evening delivered exactly what I was hoping for! At this time of day, direct sunlight produces a much warmer rendering than the indirect illumination in shaded areas, and the difference in brightness between the two is less severe than during midday hours. The mellow and colorful conditions around sunset are conducive to good landscape photography. I had admired this view to the south from Los Huecos Trail in Santa Clara County's Joseph D. Grant County Park on earlier occasions, but had continued walking because the lighting was too harsh and the two oak trees didn't stand out from the background. On this day I hurriedly prepared my camera to capture the scene while the two oaks enjoyed the spotlight. When viewing this photograph I am reminded of what my grandfather Harry told me years before I had ever seen a mountain: "Real mountains - even ones that appear solid green at a glance - are actually many colors when studied carefully. You'll find every color there is when looking closely at a mountain". With tiny lavender flowers in the grass, the green and yellow grass itself, tan, red, and orange bark on the trees, shrubs in various hues of green, brown, and cranberry, and distant shades of mint, purple, and blue, these "green" mountains are a perfect testament to my grandfather's artistic wisdom. The landscape at Joseph D. Grant County Park is characteristic of the east foothills of California's Santa Clara Valley with grasslands and majestic oak trees. In the distance at far right across Halls Valley with an elevation of 2,502 feet above sea level is Mt. Misery.

Near Mt. Hamilton Rd. mile marker 13.86, Joseph D. Grant County Park, Santa Clara County, CA, 2/27/2004
Nikon F camera, 105mm Nikkor f/2.5 lens, polarizer, Fujicolor Superia Reala film, 36 megapixels
I made this photograph the day I learned the value of not giving up when the weather is bad. I began my drive to Joseph D. Grant County Park near San Jose, CA in mid afternoon beneath a mostly calm winter sky. By the time I neared the park I found myself driving in heavy rain under dark gray storm clouds. I remember thinking I was wasting my time and should probably turn around and go home, but because the drive was mostly over I continued heading for the park and hoped for the best. Fortunately the sky lightened, the downpour diminished, and as I parked my car the rain stopped while the sun emerged between bright clouds and glimpses of blue sky. The park looked more beautiful than I had ever seen it and I quickly went to work with my camera capturing the trees and hills under the best conditions I could ever have hoped for. As the sun sank low in the sky and the air cooled I witnessed a gentle haze - almost a fog - arise from the hills, suffusing the countryside in a dreamlike atmosphere. At sunset from atop a hill near Mt. Hamilton Road I captured this westward view through the forest and rolling hills descending toward San Francisco Bay. I was very pleased to be there at such a special moment enjoying this enchanted landscape!
The oak woodland at Grant County Park is typical of California and includes species such as the Blue, Black, Live, and Valley Oaks.

I started school again today. It's my last year so I'll be very busy studying, but I will try to shoot as much as I can!
I've been in bed since 10pm last night sick & bored as hell. I talked my daughter into picking up my camera to have some photo fun with me.
Otherwise, it was a good day off work.
