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.

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.

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