Photo of an adult male Mandarin Duck taken in Beijing, China. The Mandarin Duck is a medium-sized East Asian perching duck.

This photograph was taken somewhere between Monterey and Santa Cruz, California during my road trip this summer.

The blue sky and fog accompanied us from the central coast up to northern California. On this day the fog only reached to the sand dunes which you can see in the background.

This is my first vacation with a SLR - suggestions and criticism to improve my pictures are absolutely welcome!

Last month I joined my brother and my 70 year old mother for a fishing trip in Alaska. I went focused on being a photographer, and ended up being focused on being a fisherman. I did manage to get some shots off, mostly with my Phantom 4 Pro. Its so exciting to get a perspective that I can't see in front of me. This was taken at Harlequin Lake.
