_______________________________________ I drove up the coast late yesterday afternoon hoping to find a spot to shoot without fog. I ended up in Corona Del Mar in the city of Newport Beach, about an hour north of San Diego CA. There are beautiful rock formations jutting out of the water all up and down the beach, quite a beautiful site. Unfortunately, the tide was too high to walk along the shore, so I set up and on the beach at the edge of the first cliff. _______________________________________ This image was shot about 20 minutes after sunset with a 10 stop neutral density filter. The blue from the sky was reflecting in the ocean water which was further saturated by the neutral density filter. _______________________________________ Shot with a Canon 1DX, Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, f/18, three minute exposure time, ISO 200, and a 10 stop variable neutral density filter. _______________________________________ Thanks so much for the features over the last few days from the following groups: _______________________________________ 🔹 @like_bank 🔹 @master_pics 🔹 @longexposurestyles_gf 🔹 @keydestination _________________________________________ Check out their hubs and tag your best shots for features and challenges. _________________________________________ I want to thank all of the hubs and followers for their continued support and kind words. _________________________________________ (at Corona Del Mar, CA) View high resolution

_______________________________________ Just another sunset at the Oceanside Pier in Oceanside California. If you are familiar with California coastal weather, you know that we usually have two months of coastal fog during the months of May and June. The fog is starting to burn off earlier now and we are beginning to get some colorful sunsets again. I shot this on the south side of the pier just as the sun kissed the horizon and spread its beautiful light through the low clouds. _______________________________________ Shot with a Canon 1DX, Canon 16-35mm lens, f/18, 3 second exposure time, ISO 100, and a variable neutral density filter. _______________________________________ Thanks so much for the features over the last few days from the following groups: _______________________________________ 🔹 @keydestination selected by @saaggo 🔹 @animazing_nature 🔹 @phototag_it _________________________________________ Check out their hubs and tag your best shots for features and challenges. _________________________________________ I want to thank all the hubs and followers for their continued support and kind words. _________________________________________ (at Oceanside Pier, Oceanside CA) View high resolution

_______________________________________ Known as moon bows, spray bows, or lunar rainbows, this amazing site at Yosemite Falls comes into alignment only a few days each year. For the creation of the lunar rainbow, you need clear skies, enough water in Yosemite Falls to create misty conditions, dark skies, and bright moonlight. _______________________________________ There are several different spots to set up to capture this scene. I took this shot from the walkway at Cook’s Meadow. Yosemite has some of the most amazing scenery in the world. If you haven’t had the opportunity to go there, put it on your must see list! _______________________________________ My bro @danfieldsphotog was right by my side. Check out his feed to see some epic images! He is truly a world class photographer. _______________________________________ Settings/Gear: Shot with a Canon 1DX, Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens, 2500 ISO, f/11, and 60 second shutter speed. _______________________________________ Thanks so much for the features over the last few days from the following groups: _______________________________________ 🔹 @phototag_it 🔹 @jaw_dropping_shots 🔹 @ahd_photo _________________________________________ Check out their hubs and tag your best shots for features and challenges. _________________________________________ I want thank all the hubs and my followers for your continued support and kind words.

_______________________________________ Yosemite National Park is a place of wonder and majestic beauty. I was especially drawn to the rushing water, rock formations, and of course the blooming Dogwood Trees. The flow of the water is so captivating when you shoot with a slower shutter speed. The water was rushing in all different directions over the rocky river bottom which resulted in the drama in the texture of the water. _______________________________________ The Dogwood flowers last for several weeks and they don’t stand out as much after the trees leaf out. We were fortunate to be there near the start of the bloom. I found it very challenging to compose and image which captured the beauty of the flowers. In this image, I caught the golden reflection of the granite cliffs from the soft light of the morning sun, and a hint of blue in the whitewater from the clear blue sky. _______________________________________ My bro @danfieldsphotog and I went on this Yosemite expedition together. Check out his feed for some epic images of Yosemite and a lot more amazing photos. We have many more trips planned this year and next so stay tuned for those images as well! _______________________________________ Settings/Gear: Shot with a Canon 1DX, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens, 105mm focal length, Manual Mode, 100 ISO, f/16, and 0.4 second shutter speed. _______________________________________ Thanks so much for the features over the last few days from the following groups: _______________________________________ 🔹 @starvingphotographer 🔹 @cloud_sky 🔹 @landscapehunter 🔹 @worldcaptures 🔹 @surf__life__ 🔹 @thewhisperers by @mhutama 🔹 @skystyles_gf 🔹 @ig_fotogramers _________________________________________ Check out their hubs and tag your best shots for features and challenges. _________________________________________ I want thank all the hubs and my followers for your continued support and kind words.

_______________________________________ Just before you enter Yosemite National Park, you travel through a half-mile tunnel bored through solid rock. As soon as you emerge from the tunnel, you are struck with an expansive majestic view of Yosemite Valley! You can see HalfDome (middle right), Clouds Rest (center), and El Capitan to the left. The full uncropped version of this image shows Cathedral Rocks on the right, and below it, Bridalveil Fall. It is the most magnificent view I have ever seen in my life!! We were fortunate to have some interesting cloud cover from an approaching storm on this day. _______________________________________ I have posted several color photos of Yosemite, but I thought this one was best expressed in black-and-white. _______________________________________ My bro @danfieldsphotog and I went on this Yosemite expedition together.

_______________________________________ On our first day in Yosemite, Dan @danfieldsphotog and I got up early, packed up our gear, and headed out for a day of shooting. After hiking about a mile, we came across this beautiful meadow. There was a herd of deer grazing on the northside and this beautiful stand of Aspen trees on the south side. As the sun peaked out from behind Half Dome, the rays illuminated the leaves of the trees like a spotlight. It was quite a sight to see but it only lasted for about 10 minutes. I feel blessed that I was there to see and capture the moment. _______________________________________ Settings/Gear: Shot with a Canon 1DX, Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 L lens, 100 ISO, f/16, and 1/15 second shutter speed. _______________________________________ Thanks so much for the features over the last two days from the following groups: _______________________________________ 🔹 @skycaptures 🔹 @allmyown 🔹 @insta_america 🔹 @starving_photographer _________________________________________ Check out their hubs and tag your best shots for features and challenges. _________________________________________ I want thank all the hubs and my followers for your continued support and kind words.

_______________________________________ This is a photo of a rainbow at the base of one of the many waterfalls in Yosemite. It is impossible to appreciate the massive size of this section of the falls without actually being there. The rainbow was generated by the angle of the sun and the strong wind blowing the misty water at the base of the falls. It was a beautiful contrast between the soft misty water, the vivid colors, and the strong hard texture of the granite rock cliff face. _______________________________________ We had to hike up the side of a mountain along a treacherous trail to get to the location to shoot the falls from across the valley. As the sun moved across the sky, the position of the rainbow moved along with it. We followed the rainbow by constantly moving down the trail with our camera gear. It was one of the most incredibly beautiful feats of nature that I have ever seen. _______________________________________ My bro @danfieldsphotog was right by my side.
