    Title or Location:
    When the top of Saddleback gets snow, you have to move fast if you want a picture of it because it doesn?t last long. When I saw the snow I grabbed my gear and headed to the top of Vista Del Lago with my 300mm lens and started clicking away. I was accompanied by another photographer who looked like Ansel Adams (he got a kick out of that when I told him). We talked shop for a while before focusing on our own composition. Saddleback was actually behind some clouds so I focused to the east for this

    Title or Location: La Jolla Beach ( July 17, 2024 )
    My Daughter brought me to La Jolla beach to eat lunch and admire the view. I took photos of everything from waves hitting the rocks, sea-lions on the shore, birds and Pelican. The place is beautiful except it's full of people. And with all the noise and people walking back and forth..... the View of the Pelicans sleeping peacefully is amazing. ( F22, 1/60 secs, ISO 200 )( July 17, 2024 ) sorry for the delay

    Title or Location: Amalfi at City di Mare, SRP, Cebu City, Philippines
    The bride and her entourage are having their dress-up and makeup in the hotel. As part of the wedding photography package, I'm documenting the wedding preparation and notice the entourage busy walking back and forth sometimes blacking my shots. When the time for me to take photos of the bride and her entourage, I notice they were confuse on who would stand beside the bride. So, I asked the Bride to STAY PUT for 3 secs and the entourage to more around. ( f22, 3 secs, ISO 125 ) Adobe lightroom

    Title or Location: Laguna Beach
    The forecast was high surf. So, I drove down to the Laguna Beach with my camera and hiked along the coast to investigate. I took many shots but this was my best. Shortly after, the surf subsided and the opportunity for additional shots was gone. I?m glad I acted when I did.

    Title or Location: Borrego Canyon Trail, Whiting Ranch
    This was taken on Borrego Canyon Trail on my way back from Red Rock Canyon Trail in Whiting Ranch. I didn't see this composition heading into Whiting Ranch but a couple of hours later, on my way out, the sun began to set and the golden hour took hold. It only goes to show, in landscape photography you have to follow the light!On another note, I'd like to take this opportunity to give a big thanks to all the administrative personnel who make this site such a great success! Great job!

    Title or Location: Arches NP, Utah
    This picture was taken with a Pentax 6X7 medium format film camera about 40 years ago. I recently scanned it on an Epson V600 scanner then edited it with Affinity Photo2 to bring out the color and clarity. I also have a picture of Delicate Arch, an iconic image from Utah's Arches National Park (one of Utah's big 5 NPs). If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend visiting this park.

    Title or Location: Prenton
    Thanks to the previous heatwave we just endured the skies had remained cloud free for one night allowing me to finally capture a great shot of the moon! Taken very late at night with my Canon 90D, I was very excited to edit and post. As Nick frost and Simon pegg once said "Hows that for a slice of fried gold"
