Storm Shine
Description
A recent seascape from La Jolla's Windansea beach. I did not use a grad filter for this shot. Since it was a long exposure I covered the top part of the frame with my (
black
gloved) hand for about half the exposure time.

Liberty School
Description
I got the idea on how to do this still life from an old British photog named
Phillip McCordall
. He has a bunch of how-to videos on YouTube and it was
this one
that inspired me. I used a Canon 580EX speedlite on 1/16th power in a 24x24 soft box facing straight down. Two white foam core boards we positioned on either side and two
black
boards were used to cover up most of the white boards so only skinny white reflections are seen on the side of the glass (I used cranberry juice in the glass BTW). I took another exposure where I moved a white board in front of the bottle to highlight the label then composited that into the final image.

Contours of the Ages B&W
Description
A B&W version of the famous Arch Rock at Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park. Right after I shot this I heard the "whoop, whoop" of the park ranger's siren. He took my name and address down but didn't cite me, I think because it was my first time. But at least I got a few decent shots.
