We were told the basics of action photography including knowing the way surfers ride waves so we could follow them. The various challenges were great and trying for portrait and angles were great. I learned about my equipment, in a gray morning I need to overexposed to get a good photo (positive exposure compensation) more than I thought and he helped me on that.

I had a great time. Very useful challenges to push me out of my comfort zone and into the learning zone. Fantastic way to meet like-minder people and learn from each other. Lessons from the instructor were vey clear and tailored to each individual?s skill level. Will definitely be doing this again the future.

It was a new experience for me. I took me out of my comfort zone. Maybe because I was expected to spend more time on portrait photography of a model or ourselves, not reaching out to strangers :-) I still want to learn how I can do good portrait photography such as what positions would be great for pictures, so that if I have people asking me to take their pictures I have more knowledge on how to make it a great shot.

I call this one "You light up my life" My niece and nephew were about to have their first child and asked me if I would take a few pregnancy photos. As a final location I suggested some sunset photos at the beach. I have always loved silhouette shots and as we were setting up for this one, I was lucky to have the perfect southern California clear night sunset. It was a girl and now 8 years later lights up a room with a smile as large as the sun.

With a rainy winter, spring in Southern California is the time where we get wildflowers, and not just in the desert! This is a photo from downtown Encinitas, where we have a few beautiful patches of flowers.I liked the combination of flowers and palm trees. Taken with Fujifilm X-T5 and Tamron 18-300, a great lens for photo walks. In my opinion :-)

Red Tailed Hawks frequent the three tall pines in my backyard. I've been getting good shots of them just sitting, but take-offs are a challenge. This time I steadied myself against my deck and waited. This hawk was facing west, into late afternoon sun, and I knew it would also take off into the wind. I was lucky to have the perfect angle for lighting and take off. As soon as it began ruffling its feather, I started firing away and got this image.

I naively drove to Borrego Springs on a Friday morning to get some shots of the flower bloom in the desert, Got there before 8am and there were already a bunch of photographers in the fields. This guy with a red jacket caught my eye, and I thought it would be a good warmup shot. It ended up being one of my favorite shots of the day. Fujifilm X-T5 and XF 16-80.

The North America Nebula derives it's name from it's resemblance to the continental United States, Mexico, and the Gulf of Mexico. The nebula is about 2,600 Light years away in the constellation Cygnus, visible during the summer and fall. This narrowband image is a composite of three wavelengths of light known as Hydrogen-alpha, Sulfur II and Oxygen III, with each wavelength assigned to the R, G, or B color channel to compose a full color image.

I went on a short photography trip recently. Small country towns, canola, salt lakes and more. The weather was dodgy, which made it even more interesting.

On this dewy, fresh morning something compelled me to grab my camera and take a picture as sandhill cranes strolling gracefully through the front yard. Harriet pictured here is, as always, accompanied by Ozzie and their offspring of the season. They have been welcomed morning coffee mates for the last 12 years. The picture captures the calm presence and the dancer's restlessness of these beautiful visitors.

The Great Reno Balloon Race was this weekend. About a dozen balloon are up and aglow before dawn. This beautiful one was my favorite. Most shooting were using auto white balance, cloudy, or 5600K to keep the yellow cast from the flame. I prefer a white balance which retains the true colors of the balloons, especially for this balloon.
