And What Was Going through My Mind?

Clouds – We’ve Got Clouds!

Ya Hooooo! While it might be just a one day wonder, right now I'll take ANY storm that brings moisture and mood to the Sierra. Sharon, the dogs & I loaded up the truck and headed north in search of some atmosphere. We didn't have to go far, just over the ridge to find the clouds coming down into Mono Basin. I pulled over and made the click just in case the wind kicked up and took what clouds we had and either stacked them up so there was no light or, they scattered to the east falling apart. Thankfully, ...

The Break Between the Storms

When multiple storms blow through the Sierra, winds plays a big part of the whole process. We typically know a storm is coming because winds proceed it. When we have multiple storms, the wind still comes but as it goes over the Sierra crest, it tends to create windows in the clouds. And these are just great subjects for B&W photography. I'm incredibly fortunate that I can, just like I did here, watch out the windows and when I see the light happening, step out and shoot. How do I know when to step out and shoot? I look first for ...

Air to Air Equipment

It's very exciting to have more and more folks contacting me with questions about aviation photography. There are a lot of you out there and that's great. While it's not as many questions as I get about wildlife, but plane sightings are a little more reliable then birds since birds tend to just keep on going. So the exchange of information is two way and enjoyable. With my air to air photography getting more and more attention, more are asking what equipment is required to successfully pull one off. Keep in mind I'm a newbie to this, my first air ...

And Then It’s Time to Say Good-Bye, For the Moment

I have a thing for Woodstorks, a throw back to early bird evolution that have managed to hang on in our modern word. Their deliberate nature, their at times comical approach and graceful flight is just one of those pleasures in wildlife photography that doesn't need to be captured to be remembered. I was glad to see them my last evening and to spend a little more time with them. It was a good trip!

Do You Need to Fill the Frame?

Wildlife photographers seem to spend a lot of time and a lot of money to capture eyeballs. The upclose and tight shot is very popular. I personally have no problem with that style and every so often,... [Read more of this Post]

Which Way to Turn?
