Big Sur
Click the picture for a zoom view
This was taken on the way to Big Sur. It was a windy day and clouds were moving fast overhead. This caused very interesting cloud shadow patterns on the hillside that I wanted to capture. This is actually a stitched image from 2 different images.

Lilac
Click the picture for a zoom view
This was taken in Big Sur, CA. It's a beautiful place to be during sunset. You can see the falls from a path carved out of the cliff. Facing the falls is the huge expanse of the Pacific Ocean and every evening it opens it's arms and welcomes the sun into it's bosom.

Serenity
Click the picture for a zoom view
This was taken at a small temple in Gilroy, CA. I took a couple of shots of this statue at different tilt angles but I found this one expressed the emotion of serenity the best.

Victorian
Click the picture for a zoom view
Taken on the Beringer winery this is a picture of the actual residence of the original owners of the winery in Napa, CA. The Victorian/Goth architecture was worth capturing especially with the rays of the setting sun casting a halo around the house.

Yosemite
Click the picture for a zoom view
This was taken in Yosemite Valley, CA. It was an overcast day and we had fresh snowfall the previous night. Where the sun shone the snow had melted to show a green hillside and the clouds made patches of shadows which I wanted to capture. So in this picture you see light on one side and shadows on the other side and the contrast it generates in nature, in terms of color. I took 4 pictures and stitched them together to create the panoramic shot. It is best seen by clicking on the picture.

Drawn to the light

A friend kindly allowed me to practice some studio portrait photography. The blur is intentional.
