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.

Sign of the Times
Description
Shot March, 2011 at Salton Sea's Bombay Beach. I had been here a bunch of times but this was the first time I saw this bizarre sign way out in the lake. I'm not sure why it was put there but I thought it made for an interesting subject.

Sea of Misfortune
Description
This is a shot from Shark Fin Cove in Davenport, CA from last Christmas 2010. I went back here in 2011 to reshoot this comp when tragedy struck. The tide was higher than it is in this shot and the surf was raging. I had set up my tripod about 8-10 feet closer to the arch from this spot when a huge surge up to my waist pushed me up the beach and the back flow pulled my tripod with my Canon 5D MkII attached out into the ocean. I could see the three tripod legs bobbing in the crashing waves as it kept getting pulled further away. There was really nothing I could do. I left and came back hours later at low tide hoping to salvage some remains but nothing was there - it was gone. The worst part is I had cancelled my insurance months earlier and hadn't gotten around to re-insuring my gear. Pretty stupid. So all in all I lost the Canon 5d MkII body, Canon 17-40 f4 lens, Gitzo 1325 tripod, Bogen 3047 head, and all of that day's images.

Shot at Sunset Cliffs National Park in San Diego, CA. This was my first visit to Sunset Cliffs NP and I had a hard time finding good comps. For one thing there were so many people there that it was almost impossible to get a shot without someone walking into your frame. So I used their ghostly figures to add to the mood of the shot.

Description
Another shot from San Jacinto Wildlife Area. I saw this dry creek bed and thought it would make a nice lead-in. The new grass (or whatever it is) also looked great. So I started shooting this in overcast light but the sun peeked in below the clouds and showered this area with this awesome light.

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.

I shot this pano from a famous vista called Twin Peaks.
