Good Things Come To Those Who Wait
How long did it take to make this photograph? About two hours last night to get it just right, plus several trips over the past year to find the right location and perspective, four evenings in the past two weeks waiting for the sky to be perfectly clear, and several months waiting for the above […]
Read MoreSunrise, La’ie Point
My daughter and I got up at 5:30 this morning to drive up the coast of Oahu about 10 miles to La’ie Point. She sat in the car and played a game on my iPhone while I set up and marveled at the light rays as the sun rose above the horizon. When the scene […]
Read MoreResting Turtle
After a big dinner here on Oahu’s North Shore, the extended family went on to look for the locals’ favorite shave ice place, while the photo nerd chose not to waste one of a handful of sunset opportunities and passed on the famed syrupy coldness. I jumped in the rented (insert non-sensical and unpronounceable VW […]
Read MoreGoing Wide
A friend on Facebook just asked me for advice about wide angle lenses, and rather than relay what I know to another individual, I thought I’d post here for him and anyone else who’d like to hear my thoughts. My experience is based on having owned the Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle […]
Read MoreSo Nice To See Your Friends Do Well
I have no closer connection to any MotoGP team than the French Tech 3 squad, having interviewed Guy Coulon several times for MotoMatters.com and gotten to know the press officer and team principal fairly well last season. Now that they have two of the premier class’ three American riders, I watch their progress with even […]
Read MoreCathedral Rocks
This image of Cathedral Rocks in Yosemite Valley is interesting to me because it has become one of my favorite photographs of the trip, and I almost didn’t bother to get out of the car to take it. We had spent the morning camped on the shore of the Merced River, waiting for the sunlight […]
Read MoreThere’s a storm brewin’
These spring snow storms I mentioned last time can come in pretty quickly. On Saturday evening I was on the east shore of Lake Tahoe hoping for something amazing to photograph and was pleased, at first, to see a snow storm coming down over the mountains and heading right for me. It’s not every day […]
Read MoreBack in the saddle…
It’s almost that time again! The 2010 Grand Prix season starts in just under two weeks at the Losail International Circuit in Doha, Qatar, and I’m very excited to be returning to this unique place for the season opener. It’s going to be great to be track-side and in the paddock of the highest level […]
Read MoreVenga la tormenta
On Thursday I went looking for another local point of interest in the Lake Tahoe area, the famed Bonsai Rock, which rests on the eastern shore of the lake, just below Sand Harbor. Someone on Flickr had posted the location of the rock, but actually getting to the spot was a bit of a challenge. […]
Read MoreBest Seat In The House
These rocks are by the old Sutro Baths in San Francisco, and I don’t think anything has a better spot to watch the SF sunsets than they do. Info: Made with a Nikon D700 Digital SLR Camera, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens, on a Manfrotto 055XPROB Pro Tripod with a […]
