Getting Depth of Field Correct

Leave a reply

Recently, I was with my friend Tom Applegate photographing Downtown San Diego from the neighborhood of Point Loma. This location, albeit in a residential neighborhood, is very popular. Beside us, were two photographers and their relationship seemed to be something of a teacher and a student (they were probably friends, but one was instructing the other). Continue reading →

Building Impressions

Santa Ana winds bring to San Diego heat and a lack of clouds. The onshore flow is pushed deep into the Pacific. This is normally the time to put the camera away, but I have rather enjoyed making impressionistic images in this weather. Continue reading →

East Wetlands Sunrise
East Wetlands Sunrise Photographed: 2016 Location: East Wetlands, Colorado River, Yuma, Arizona I was visiting my Grandmother when she suggested we get up at 4 AM to visit the East Wetlands just inside the Yuma Gateway along the Colorado River. The reason for the early wake-up was to avoid the stifling Summer heat, which was even worse with monsoonal moisture and its associated humidity. Monsoonal weather makes for great light though, and the sunrise was truly amazing. It was incredible to be able to experience this wondrous light with my Grandmother, who can still walk and hike. This was a truly memorable morning for both of us. Must of the East Wetlands was decimated by agricultural runoff that caused much of the soil to be salinated and inhospitable to most of the native vegetation. A huge project to desalinate the soil and plant vegetation has resulted in a beautiful landscape that supports the Colorado River and its associated flora and fauna.

Birthday Storm
Photographed: 2014 Location: Oceanside, CA This photo was taken during a freak, rare, summer storm in San Diego County. This photograph was indeed made on my birthday. That day, I attended the wedding of two very good friends. I am not the dancing type, so I left and made my way to the coast as quickly as possible. It was incredible to watch the sky light up as the sun retreated. These moments are inspirational.

Desert Monsoon
Photographed: 2014 Location: Joshua Tree National Park, California A desert monsoon storm at sunset by Joshua Tree National Park's Cholla Cactus Garden. Summer afternoons often bring these desert monsoon storms that bring huge clouds, dramatic light, and beautiful scenes. This storm hung over the Pinto Basin, a location well-known for dangerous flash flooding. The location at the Cholla Cactus Garden is several miles upstream from the basin.

Ross Rock is one of my favorite locations to photograph in San Diego, and I distinctly remember the clouds setting up perfectly, the light beginning to reflect, and the anticipation growing for what was truly an unforgettable experience.
