Los Angeles And The Observatory – Canon 5DSR

This is a quick shot of the Observatory. I wanted to test out the Canon 5DSR so I hiked up the mountain overlooking Los Angeles. This was my first time up and wow, what a view! If you ever visit Los Angeles this is something you must do. Just bring a long lens. I shot…
The Lone Climber

While in Zion National Park this winter with my wife and another fam, we were just looking at one of the views when my sister-in-law spotted a strange shape on the mountain. I just thought it was snow gathering on one of the trees but it seemed like it was moving. So I pulled out…
Epic Monuments – Canon 5DmkII

This is another one from Monument Valley. I’m kind of tempted to go back there this winter. I’m not sure if that’s a good idea, though. There have been a lot of storms this month already. I don’t want to get stranded without four-wheel drive in a Utah snowstorm.
NYC From The Top Of The Rock

I’ve finally gotten into processing some of my New York City shots from my 5Dmkii. It’s been fun, but it takes a bit more time since I do the majority of work in Photoshop. This shot has nothing crazy, just a little burn and dodge, color tweaks, and some color overlays. The Raw already looked…
Pinnacles of Trona

The Pinnacles of Trona are just outside of Death Valley, California. This was once an ancient lake bed. The pinnacles are formed from ancient hot sprints that crack through the lake floor to combine with the mineral-rich waters, forming calcium carbonate. The Pinnacles are huge! This was a very popular location for sci-fi movies before…
Valley of Yosemite

Looking down at one of the most epic and breathtaking places on Earth. I wanted to come back here at night to get some galaxy shots, but you know how it goes when you’re traveling. I got sidetracked shooting other locations. Next time I go to Yosemite, I hope to catch a little bit of…
Sunset at Tanah Lot

This view is from behind Tanah Lot, looking out into the ocean as the sun begins its descent. We were sitting at a restaurant eating a quick dinner/snack and having some drinks while I took this photo. I was literally at our dinner table when I took this. Pretty cool view, huh? To process this…
Tanah Lot The Sea Temple

Tanah Lot is one of the Seven Seas Temples located around Bali. It is a popular tourist spot in Bali, Indonesia. Here’s a fun fact: In 1980, Japan donated approximately 180 million to repair the temple’s rock face and other significant locations around Bali. One-third of this temple is made up of artificial rock.
Fiery Goju-no-to Pagoda Japan

The Goju-no-to is a five-story Pagoda located in Miyajima, Japan. These buildings often function as places of worship, most commonly Buddhist. The Goju-no-to is located near the Itsukushima Shrine on a small island near Hiroshima. I’ve been to Miyajima twice, and the location still amazes me. It’s one of my favorite places in Japan to…
Hanuman, The Mighty Warrior Monkey

This is Hanuman, the mighty warrior monkey. One of the characters from the Kecak Dance of Bali Indonesia, Hama, allies himself to save his wife, Sita, from the clutches of Rahwana. Hunaman is a hero and a fan favorite of the Kecak Dance. This is part of a series of photos I’m doing from the…
