Point Arena, California

Spent 3 days last weekend exploring the beautiful Northern California coastline for the first time.  Throughout most of the trip, the sky was filled with clouds, but it was still warm, beautiful, relaxing and perfect for long exposure photography.

Valley View, Yosemite National Park 

 

Last Saturday, I made an impromptu visit to Yosemite in search of some new fallen snow, which never quite made it down to the valley, but the mountain tops were beautifully capped, which was good enough for me. It felt so amazing to be back in nature. I definitely need to do this more often.

Halfmoon Lake, Montana

During a trip to Montana with my family last month, we stayed in a campground about a mile from this small lake. My brother and I noticed the clouds were starting to look nice as sunset was approaching, so we jumped on the bikes and rode the mile to the lake. Sadly, by the time we arrived, most of the clouds had blown over, but it was too serene to pass up a shot.

Lake Tahoe, California

This was taken back in January on the way home after spending a Saturday in the Eastern Sierras with +Jeff Sullivan and +Lori Hibbett. On Sunday, +Tran Mai began the trek home and stopped in Tahoe for snowshoeing and  sunset. We didn't get great color, but it was a great opportunity to slap on the Big Stopper and get a long exposure.
