A Look Back—Trona Pinnacles 2

Photograph of the Trona PinnaclesAnother shot I liked from the Trona Pinnacles. The road into the pinnacles is unpaved and rutted so the five mile drive seemed to last forever. I’m sure it isn’t that bad, but I haven’t returned yet.

A Look Back—Asilomar rocks

Photograph of rocks in mist at Asilomar, Pacific Grove, CaliforniaThis was a 2.5 second exposure at f/11. I wanted to keep the shutter open to blur the water and mist. I liked the effect against the solidity of  the rocky shore. December 4, 2007.

A Look Back—Kings River

Photograph of the Kings River flowing over rocks at Cedar Grove Kings Canyon National Park, CaliforniaA visit to Cedar Grove at the end of Highway 180 in Kings Canyon National Park in July of 2007. It was a first attempt at using a polarizing filter to slow the shutter speed to blur the flowing water. I was pleased with this one.
