I'm guessing this is a wasp on a wildflower outside of Carrizo Plain, CA. This guy stayed very still which allowed me to click off a bunch of shots. Bees usually hop very quickly from flower to flower making them hard to shoot.

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.

Mesquite Sunrise I
Description
The day before I took this shot of Death Valley's Mesquite Dunes there was a raging sand storm with wind gust up to 70 mph that lasted into the night. The next morning it was still very windy so I decided to head up the west side of the dunes to be upwind, and also so I could catch the blowing sand in the light coming from the east. It's a kind of weird comp but does convey the conditions fairly well.

Crops in the Wind
Description
I saw this scene while stopped at a stop light in Lakeview, CA so I pulled over and took a couple shots. It was extremely windy so there was no way to avoid the motion blur other than bump the ISO setting. But the exposure was still way too long. Even so, I like this shot so I'm just going to pretend that it was intentional and my artistic vision all along.

San Francisco Panorama
Description
I shot this pano from a famous vista called Twin Peaks. I normally would shoot this after dusk while there's still color in the sky but I only had one day to shoot SF so I had to compromise and shoot this one last. Twin Peaks is a pretty impressive view. You can see all the way down Market Street, City Hall, the Transamerica Pyramid, the Bay Bridge, AT&T Park and on and on. I'm definitely coming back to shoot this again.

Boxcars
Description
I came here to get some motion shots of the trains that usually zoom through this spot near the Cajon Pass in San Bernardino, CA. But this train decided to stop for some reason. So I wanted to see what a HDR still would look like.

Key and Kroner I
Description
I found this old key in my back yard when I was 8 and kept it ever since. I also had some leftover coins from a trip to Denmark to add to the composition. I realize that it looks completely posed but I like it anyway.

Description
After taking a few of these I started to realize that the shallow depth of field really made a difference in portraying realistic looking subjects. This is much different than what I'm used to when shooting landscapes.

Citrus Still
Description
Have you ever bought produce just to photograph it? I don't really like lemons or limes but wanted to try some stills with this kind of subject. The lighting is two very hot 500 watt Smith Victor lamps (3200k) outside a homemade EZCube.

Light Table Still Life

I've tried a bunch of these but there's always something wrong either color-wise or composition-wise but this one turned out half-way decent, I still need to work on these kinds of shots. I used a shop lamp and the light table for light sources. Taken December 1999.
