The Beauty Of Simplicity | Fujifilm X-Pro 2

You can spend hundreds, or even thousands on landscape photography tutorials, or . . . you can just shoot with Fujifilm. Here is all I did to get these results.
Twin Lakes Mammoth – X-Pro2

On my second night up in Mammoth, there wasn’t much going on with the weather. Clear blue skies were everywhere except in this one direction, looking out towards the Twin Lakes. Everywhere else, there were boring blue skies, so this was my shot for the night. In front of me were the twin lakes with…
Mono Lake Pinnacles – X-Pro2

I drove to Mono Lake and Mammoth to test out some Fujifilm lenses. Despite the rain earlier that day, I was fortunate to see an amazing sunset at Mono Lake. I planned to shoot at Mono Lake for two nights, but the sunset and weather were so good the first night that I didn’t need…
HDR with the Fujifilm X-Pro 2

I come to the Santa Monica Pier a few times a year to test cameras and lenses or to just update my portfolio. Even though I only live a few miles away, it’s a huge pain in the ass dealing with the crowds and parking. At least this time it ended up being a rewarding experience.
Rainbow Bridge – Part 2

Here are a few more shots of the Rainbow Bridge in Long Beach. It’s been such an insanely busy year with the new child that I’ve hardly had time to shoot or even publish photos I’ve been taking.
Rainbow Bridge Long Beach – XT1

I haven’t been spending enough time with my Fujinon 10-24mm since it got back from repair. It really is a fun lens to use, especially for landscapes. My only gripe is who ever repaired it left a giant piece of dust on the inside of the rear element that screams at me when shooting anything…
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…
Tongva Park – Sony A7r II

I’ve passed through the Tongva park a few times while on my way to shoot the Santa Monica Pier, but never actually shot here. I would always see these lookout structures and thought they might be cool to shoot through. So a few nights ago, I finally made an attempt to come here but unfortunately,…
Summer Waves – Sony A7rII

Some of the strangest weather I’ve experienced in Southern California this last week. We were driving south on the 405. It was 100 degrees outside, and then 10 minutes later, it was 75 degrees and raining. Usually, when we experience this crazy weather, we also experience insane sunsets. I’m glad I was able to make…
Dockweiler Sunset

Last night’s sunset near Dockweiler State Beach here in Los Angeles. We’ve been having some interesting weather lately, which means some nice sunsets. But it can be hit and miss. Sometimes, I drive to the beach, and the clouds grey everything out. The structure in the shot is a pipe dumping who knows what into…
