Happy Hikes!!

| Labels: , | Posted On Saturday, January 23, 2010

I love hiking. :-) It's got to be one of my favorite aspects of my marriage. My wife and I love to hike together. With groups, by ourselves, whatever. Quite a bit of our relationship history since we first met each other is centered around hikes.

I'd have to say this is one of my better landscape shots. I liked the contrast of shadow vs. light on the mountains, as well as the desert foreground.

The train of hikers. :-)

More Canon Beach Pictures!! These shots were on a roll that didn't get developed until much later. A few turned out well, so I had to share.

All you girls can go "Awwwww..." At this one if you want. But I have to say, I am proud it came out as well as it did. It's not easy to get a good tripod shot with a 35mm.




Exploring tide pools...



Some misty clouds came in too. It felt almost like we were in another land...


This was not in Canon beach, but at my in-laws house on the back porch. This is their can Mixie. The focus is a little off, but I've been trying some new framing techniques so I thought I'd share.

Coastal neighborhoods are the best!

This was a bunch of architecture I shot in Long Beach, CA. I've decided that coastal neighborhoods are some of the best places for creative photography. You'll find such a diverse array of creative architecture and exterior decor.

A Rusty Lamppost, with a decorative gate, vines, trees, and a limestone table in the background.


See if you can find the symbolism in this one... :P


Laying in the grass looking up at a tree. A very twisted tree at that...


A stone house.



Rustic.


Who has front porches and birdhouses any more? Seriously!

B/W Shoots so much differently in the sun. I love the contrast of my sister's and Grandmother's face with the shadows and sunlit parts.





Quite different in the shade...



More Trees and Migration Time

| Labels: , | Posted On Monday, January 4, 2010

Well, I haven't posted in a couple weeks. Finals were finishing up at school, and I have been neglecting my blog. But I'm trying to get back to posting regularly. Enjoy!!

I tried to capture some trees up in the White Mountains. I like silhouettes and sunsets. Black and White films helps...





This tree was too good pass up...


A rarity. Some storks on migration.
