Dawn Patrol

Well I got a call from some friends to get up REALLY early to catch the dawn patrol for a local balloon take off. We got there in the wee hours of the morning (still dark) hoping to catch the balloons all lit up! Well, the hours go by and it kept getting lighter and lighter. It was a little disappointing but I was able to capture a few good pics. I hope you enjoy!

Thanks for being real troopers through all three days!

A Starry Night

I went camping this past weekend and go to try some new stuff with my camera. Here is a two hour exposure for creating star trails. I love the color of the Milky Way coming through. This was a great trip and a chance to escape the HEAT and play. I hope you like it

Blue-Eyed Puppy

After taking pictures with a friend there was a cute puppy with a blue eye! I tried to get some pictures of her and laid on the ground then called her... Well she came all right! right into the lens! It was one of the funniest things! Anyway, with her being just a puppy, we had to hold her to keep her still while I took the picture. enjoy!

Bridge By Moonlight

The last shot of the night with just a few of my hard core students left, we all got incredible shots of the bridge as the sun was going down. Enjoy!

Pushing Up Daisies

I took my digital photography class to Turtle Bay to shoot at the arboretum and the bridge at night. I also had a model shoot earlier at Turtle Bay as well. I really liked these of the daisies stretching toward the sun!

I went with fellow photographer Chuck to go into the canyon and shoot the 1944 steam train going from Oroville, CA to Cheyenne, WY. Be sure to click on the image to see all the detail!

Sophie

I was taking my class to the downtown park plaza where we met Sophie. I told her that we were a photography class and she asked if we would take her picture if she rode her bike through the water. Well she rode her bike through all the non water part and I asked if she would get wet. I really liked all the detail of the water hitting her. Be sure to click on the image to blow it up and see all the detail!

While in Sacramento for my first wedding of the year, I was in old town Sacramento and wandered the street. This is an image that was in a window. I loved the lighting and detailing of the face

Sitting Hummingbird

As in my previous post, I was taking pictures of the humming birds for quite a while. I have some great shots. This one I really liked. I cropped in a little bit to make the emphasis a little more on the bird. I hope you like it!

Humming Bird

While out today, I came across this rosemary plant that was swarming with humming birds! I spent 2 hours trying to capture one that wasn't blurry and had some color. Here is my attempt! I hope to do better next time.
