David and I photographed in Yosemite National Park on 12-14-2021. A winter storm had moved through the area and brought about a foot of fresh snow. The trees were all covered as the clouds moved out and the red evening sunlight were shining through. Enjoy!

Walking along Joerg Ave.
Currently I am experimenting with Russian Rangefinder lenses. Some of them produce a very soft low contrast image like the Industar 26. For Fall foliage and foggy days this lens is ideal. Enjoy this image that I created walking through neighborhood.
Sunflower Seeds
I discovered a dried up sunflower full of seeds. For the birds it is food for me an opportunity for a black and white image. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Memory Lane: Iceland
I photographed the northern lights on our last trip before Covid struck. Iceland is worth any season. We flew in November 2019 just to see and photograph the northern lights. In the background you see the lights of Reykjavik, the capital city of Iceland. Enjoy!
Pelican
I photographed this pelican this morning in Monterey, CA. Enjoy!
My Street
I tested a new drone in front of my house. I had the idea flying a few feet forward, stopping and taking a still shot, flying forward, stopping etc. In post production I combined the images in layers and got this image. Enjoy!
Fall Colors in Merced
Merced has beautiful Fall colors as you can see in this image. Enjoy!
Freight Train in Merced
I used a drone to capture this freight train going through Merced county. While viewing my images I discovered a container from Hamburg-Süd (see second image on the lower right below the Maersk container) The world is small and greetings to Peter in Hamburg who shared his wonderful images yesterday.
Oil on Water
At night I poured some water into a translucent bowl. I used a few books to raise the arrangement and added a few drops of oil into the water. The I picked some colorful backgrounds on my tablet which I arranged underneath the raised water bowl. Now I stirred the oil in the water and started photographing. Enjoy!
Tip of an Anvil
In preparation for our quarterly assignment David and I drove to the Railtown 1897 State Historic park in Jamestown , CA. Inside the shop I was able to capture this large anvil with my 50mm lens at f1.4. Enjoy!
