Inspiration Point, Anacapa Island
Channel Islands National Park, Inspiration Point
The High Sierra is my favorite place. I love the grand granite mountains, the alpine lakes, the trees. I am always looking forward to my next trip.
It was a cold morning, and I forced myself out of my warm sleeping bag to do some landscape photography. I carried my full frame camera, two lenses a full size tripod, and camping gear up to very high elevations for the opportunity to take special photographs. My efforts were rewarded as because I was lucky enough to photograph this fiery sunrise in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Orange County has some fantastic beaches to do photography. Corona Del Mar is one of them.

The Sierra Wave is a type of lenticular cloud created by winds that lift off the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California. On this particular day, they got some beautiful sunset light.

Hiking in the Santa Ana Mountains
As I research locations to hike and photograph, I cant help but notice that many of the locations are not photographed in good light. I have taken an interest to fill that void after work and on the weekends when I am in town. I hope you enjoy.

I spent 2 nights backpacking in Kings Canyon National Park, and the views are unbelievable in every direction. Bullfrog Lake is a gorgeous alpine lake, and East VIdette towers above it.

The Ansel Adams Wilderness is incredibly pretty
The Eastern SIerra is one of my favorite locations to visit for its grands views and for the outdoor recreation available.
MT. Whitney is the tallest point in the continental United States (14,505 feet)
I was very excited to spend 2 nights hiking into the King's Canyon National Park Wilderness. My backpack was heavy due to the fact that I took my full frame camera, two zoom lenses, and a full size tripod with me. Nonetheless it was completely worth the effort because I was able to photograph the milky way from a beautiful alpine lake at 3230 meters (10,600 feet) on a clear night.
Moraine Lake - High Sierra Trail
It was a chilly morning at Moraine Lake in the Sequoia National Park wilderness. It was day 3 of my long distance trek and this day I hiked 20 miles (32km) to the John Muir Trail.
