It’s hard to say good-bye, but we’ve had our last shoot, saw an amazing participant slideshow and now it’s time to die. Tonight we went to another favorite grove, Del Norte. More difficult to shoot, it does have some real treasures locked up in its trees. As you can see, I was shooting in a B&W mode and enjoyed every moment of it!
I want to publically state a huge thank you and express my respect for those who are the DLWS staff. Joe, Laurie, Kevin, Josh, Brad, Joe and especially Sharon make DLWS special for our participants and make sure that the main ingredient of DLWS, the passion for photography, flows! Here’s right back at you guys!

We spent the evening out on the rocks over Battery Point. While this God Beam is kissing the horizon, McNally has nine guys lighting themselves with SB-800s just out of frame left on a rock out in the water. It’s a typical scene at DLWS but man, did we draw a crowd.
The main show was the Battery Point Lighthouse. While it normally doesn’t work this way (requiring the taking of two photos, one for the waves and a second for the light), I lucked out and got the waves and light in one capture making my post time a snap. For the very first time, I found a when the “vivid” setting in the D3 worked.

Redwoods DLWS headed to Harris Beach in OR tonight for a spectacular show of clouds. While we didn’t get the traditional “sunset” color one expects at the beach, the clouds spread across the heavens in the winds in a hundred different patterns over the evening. The challenge was racing up and down the beach to find the perfect foreground to go with them. Of course, there was the occasional wave to dodge.
I want to recommend you head to the other DLWS blogs to see some very cool images from the same shoots. Head to Laurie’s, Kevin, Josh, Brad and Jake to see what I missed.

What a typical DLWS morning. Started off with the participants thinking we were nuts with our shoot locale. While exploring, a participant Mary Ellen found this cool boat being worked on. She found me later and told me and while the staff was walking back to the van after already shooting 10GB, I told McNally about the boat and off to the races we went!
The owner of the yard was great, invited us in, told us what they were doing and then opened the giant doors letting in amazing light as you can see above. Joe being Joe quickly found the perfect model and the pixels, they went a flyin! Don’t tell Joe this, but he is magic!

Our last shoot of the Moab 2008 DLWS event found us back at Cisco. It is truly a treasure chest made up of old junk just crying to be photographed. The “Thelma & Louis” car was quite a popular prop for folks. Few found this cool, old, rusty coke machine and lastly is my favorite, Sharon looking out through that killer homemade screen door at sunset.

Our start of our Moab DLWS was great even though, as you can see, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. Our own Joe McNally sacrificed his body to be our living silhouette model in North Window. Then, once the sun had become too hard for anything else, I went up into the window itself to capture just one portion of the arch. It was a great start showing how even when the light isn’t happening, photography still can.
