(click through for more) Had a great day with the little one yesterday! Went to Filmore to see trains, then traveled through Thousand Oaks and was impressed the grass is still green and the flowers still have color, then came home by way of coast and we saw a couple whales right off show around… Read More
Today is day 2 of practice with Photoshop. Today I played with blending images. Today’s image is a blend of three bracketed shots (median exposure (base), overexposed for shadows, and under exposed for highlights). Images were brought into Photoshop where luminosity masks were used to blend the photos together (no Photomatix or other ‘HDR’ software… Read More
I’m starting to dive into the wonderful world of Photoshop. I was convinced that I would only use SOOC as I didn’t believe “processing” was part of the art. Then I started learning that the camera’s dynamic range is limited when comparing to that of the human eye, which adjusts based on contrast and for… Read More
Ok – so today IS day 112, but as I mentioned in day 111, I fell asleep at around 8PM putting my 2 year old to bed, so I didn’t get an image out. As I mentioned, it was a GORGEOUS night!

As much as I enjoyed the facilities and hanging out to watch and support my son, I was looking forward… Read More

Tonight is pretty windy and there’s a huge American Flag that I was going to shoot tonight, but somehow, I got turned around and ended up heading North on PCH (Pacific Coast Highway). So before the twilight blue was completely gone, I pulled over… Read More
Unfortunately, I can’t upload the video, but I headed down to the pier on this beautiful January night. I couldn’t resist, especially considering a friend of mine sent me a picture of a view from his house on the east coast showing ‘snowmageddon’. I’ve done one time lapse photo, but it was a by product… Read More
I love the rain, and the anticipation of a week’s long storm is exciting to me. So I thought I’d down to the pier to see the clouds come in. The beach was packed with tourists and locals. I particularly enjoyed the old Muscle Beach area where several slack lines were set up. The balance… Read More
