I had the pleasure of photographing South Lake Tahoe last week. Not really knowing where to go, I discovered Zephyr Cove. The cloud formations there were unlike anything I had ever seen before. They were actually pretty suttle in this shot, but I loved the rest of it. If I just could of gotten the boat to move! This is two exposures combined in Photoshop.

Reflection of Mount Cook and the surrounding peaks on Lake Pukaki. The mountain was touched with the last sunrays of that day. Endless tranquility.

This is the first time I visited Yosemite and thus obviously the first time I saw the famed Tunnel View vista. This is at sunrise, about 5:30 in the morning. The crowds were still thin, and many roads in the park had just been re-opened for the Spring/Summer. I have adjusted the RAW file for exposure and white balance in Photoshop and Light Room, with additional minor tweaks in Exposure X2.

Shot of one of the many cool rocks at the Bandon beach on the Oregon Coast, USA. Sunset was not that great but the colorful cluster of starfish caught my eye along with the emerald tide pool.

The beach at Bandon, Oregon, USA. Taken the same evening as my "Face Rock" picture and another similar shot. The sunset did not materialize as I had hoped so I looked behind me at the coloring of the clouds and the tidepools. I love this picture.

A short little side cliff hike accessible during low tide opens up to a large shelf with numerous tide pools. Sneaker waves can catch you as the tide comes in if your not careful.

Canola growing in the Palouse region of Washington State, USA. It was cool that there were these puffy clouds the day we drove through last June.

I was thinking of a subject to shoot with my new Nikon D7100 and I thought if I went to the Zoo I could take some good photos there. This is one of them.

These majestic peaks soar above the canyons below. The dramatic face and prominent point of Hallett Peak give the mountain its unique character.
