This is our view from our hotel in Queenstown - The Mecure. As we were waiting for our rooms to be cleaned we were treated to this scene of a rainbow one Lake Wakatipu. Workshop kicks off this afternoon! Join us next June, 2027. For more info click here: https://t.co/nvvA9pBCaY
Long travel day as Beri and I depart for New Zealand's South Island. We go from summer into winter. In the interim, here are some images from a recent shoot on the Oceano Dunes along California's beautiful Central Coast. Most of these were captured at 800mm.
I spent an enjoyable evening with my good friend Pierre Steenberg lately on the beautiful Oceano Dunes. This image was captured in one frame just before the sun set!

Here in Morro Bay, California, we call this Laughing Man Rock. I shot sunset recently when these four pelicans flew directly past the setting sun. The birds on the nose and eyes of the laughing man are a mixture of cormorants and pelicans. Hope you all are having a fantastic day!
My good friend Pierre Steenberg and I were in Avila Beach yesterday evening with my youngest son Aaron and another family friend Andrew Panger for a moon shoot. As full moon shoots go, this was so-so but I did like this image captured after the sun set.
The Yakima is a dredging ship manned by the Army Corp of Engineers. Every May/June it runs 24 hours non-stop dredging the Morro Bay Harbor. On this particular evening, I waited till a half hour before sunset, then shot perpendicular to the sun.
Montana de Oro State Park is such a beautiful and diverse area along the Central Coast of California. I recently spent an evening there and had all this beauty to myself!

My youngest son Aaron hey!blondie has just released his new album SLOWLY. When he was recording under his given name of Aaron Cole Smith, he and I teamed up with his song "Wasting Space" and my images to produce this cool little slide show! https://t.co/wEYhgcFeBq

Beri and I spent a really fun couple of days in Ojai, California. It was our youngest son Aaron's 30th birthday! Driving home up 101 to Morro Bay, we spotted this 5% waxing crescent moon over the Pacific in Santa Barbara at dusk. Once home, I grabbed my camera and went out.
Blue hour occurs just before (morning) or after (evening) civil twilight in nature. It is an often overlooked time to photograph as most shooters are awaiting the warmth of sunrise/sunset. I captured this image of the Cayucos pier, California yesterday morning at 5:15am.
Our summer misty fog is back, especially in the mornings as inland temps begin to rise. I love these types of mornings here in Morro Bay, California. Another weekend everyone, grab your cameras and get out there!
