Mustang Sunset

I love working in Natural light with moving objects. The constantly changing conditions keep me on my toes or belly in the case of this 2010 Shelby Ford Mustang Gt 500. You need to have a lot of trust in the driver if you are going to lay down flat on the ground as he comes zooming past you in a mustang with 540 horses! Oh and a long lens!

One of the hardest parts of photographing a canyon descent is finding the right point of view. Often times you are shooting from the the top looking down or the bottom looking up. On this occasion I was able to find a little covey just about 10 feet below the lip of the fall and I was able to get there safely. I never risk the integrity of the group for the photo.

I get the opportunity to descend a lot of canyons but I don't always have the time to set up and photograph the calm beauty of them. On this trip I did, after spending the day before photographing the descent I had a few hours early in the morning to snap a few shots before moving on to the next adventure.

The end of the day.

I try to always have my camera with me because you never know when you will get an opportunity to capture a memorable moment. I had spent all day helping to set up a 600 ft zip line for a TV show and my reward a beautiful view of the Channel Islands as the sun was setting.

From the Sidewalk

As photographers more often then not we leave the comforts of our homes with a specific image in our minds. But we don't always create that image. I left my house last night thinking of a tree I scouted earlier and how I was going to photograph it. When I got to the tree it just didn't feel right so I drove past it. First to a one spot then another without even taking my camera out of its comfortable spot. I decided to try one more place before heading home and found a shot that defined my evening perfectly, a midnight Fisherman! Like me he was casting and waiting for the perfect catch. Thank you Mr. Fisherman!

From the Sidewalk

5:45a.m Ocean Beach California. I pulled up to the pier and looked out over the ocean. I don’t think the ocean had woken up yet. The salt water lapped at the shore like ripples in a pond. A few lone surfers sat waiting for their day to begin and I sat on the boardwalk watching the ocean slowly stretch and wake from its slumber….. Living on the west coast I forget sometimes how beautiful the ocean can be early in the morning and I end up only photographing it at sunset. So last night when I saw a nearly full moon I thought about the possibility of an A.M pier and moon image. I was up early like a good photographer and on my way. However Mother Nature had a different image in mind and covered the setting moon in clouds. I didn’t mind much I was still enjoying the serenity of the ocean and had forgotten about the sleeping city behind me. I sat back and relaxed for a bit before I finally broke out the camera and fired off a few frames. This image is one of the first for a new series entitled ‘From the Sidewalk.’
