    Alexander Medina
    Alexander is a professional photographer who specialize in capturing special events, sports, portraits and landscapes. What sparked his interest in making a business was doing a onetime gig for CSUDH; it was to fulfill his 2021 graduation requirements to earn his BA in Digital Media Arts.

    The Gig was located in Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum; his job was to help with the museum's advertisements by taking photos and videos. Then edit them, so his boss can use them for his website. It turned out great, and his boss was pleased with the quality of the photos and videos he provided him at the time.

    After the experience, it made him want more gigs! Which led him to get more gigs and form a business.

    Furthermore, he's looking forward to hearing from his students.

    Title or Location: Cambria Ca.
    Cambria is a favorite destination spot for my wife and I when visiting the central California coast. While visiting the old part of town, we noticed this rainbow to the east, in the foothills. We followed it into the hills until we were in clear view and without obstruction. The sun was setting and the orange glow on the landscape was popping. That, coupled with a beautifully complete rainbow was a rare moment and opportunity. Shot with a Canon T3i crop frame camera using a 10-24 wide angle l

    My son invited me to a day visit. at a local park that his family was camping at for the weekend. While searching for something interesting to take pictures of, I followed around the small lake to the concrete overflow. It was, as expected, a mess. Lots of trash and branches and stagnet water. As I rounded a corner, there was this heron alone on a tree branch looking like he was proudly watching over his kingdom.

    During my visit to New England I stopped at Chatham, MA. Chatham is at the ?elbow? of Cape Cod and while there, I drove to the Chatham Lighthouse. Construction of the lighthouse started in 1808 and opened the same year. It is 43 ft. high and is made of brick, wood, concrete and cast iron. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 15th, 1987. If you look closely, you can see the moon at the top of the shaft on the lighthouse. I didn?t notice it at the time I took the pict

    Title or Location: Wilderness Glen Park, Mission Viejo
    I've passed by this live oak tree countless times and took dozens of pictures of it from different vantage points. In all those pictures I never felt I captured the tree's size and grandeur. But after making some post processing adjustments I was able to highlight its features and isolate it from its thickly wooded surroundings.Wilderness Glen Park has many live oaks through the entire park but this one in particular always stood out to me.

    Title or Location: Crane Park, Whitton.
    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.

    I was on my way home when I saw the paragliders hovering ahead. So even though I thought I would try to get a few photos of them. The storm was getting closer & we all thought we would get wet, but just before it hit, it threw out a quick burst of colour. Sometimes it?s all about timing. iPhone 12 Pro Max & Snapseed.
