Today I photographed in downtown Los Banos, CA. Los Banos is a small charming town on the westside of the San Joaquin Valley in Central California. It was a hot day and I did not expect too many people in the streets.

Posing for a Picture
Street Photography can be challenging and exciting at the same time. When I photograph a tourist place like Sedona, AZ, I look for ordinary people in everyday situations like this couple get their picture taken. Emjoy!
People at a Quilt Show
Recently I had the opportunity to photograph at an open air quilt show in Merced, CA. There were beautiful quilts displayed, however I focused on the people that came and looked at them.
Enjoy!
People in Monterey at Night
I love photographing in Monterey. There are so many people from all over the world visiting creating a special atmosphere. Enjoy!
Photographing in the California Foothills at Night
Wolfgang invited us to his ranch outside of Mariposa, CA. The elevation was around 4000 feet, the night was clear but there was light pollution from the dwellings and there was smog from a fire in the air. We tried different photographic techniques to get some interesting images. like the rising Milky Way.
This is a single ten minute exposure image created with a full frame camera and a 14mm lens.
I set the intervalometer of my c-sensor camera to creating 200 images in 90 minutes. Unfortunately I bumped into the tripod at around 120 images. I still got a decent star trail image. Notice that several air planes were flying through the area.
In this images I experimented with the light pollution and star trails. I wanted to try if the camera is able to create some decent star trails despite the poor light condition.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
Faces
People’s faces are fascinating to me especially when one can photograph them when they feel secure and their guards are down. Enjoy!
Morning at the Campground
California has many beautiful campgrounds. To me there is nothing better than stepping out of my trailer or tent and experience a sunrise at a lake, walk around and photograph. While returning to our camper I saw this couple enjoying the morning while eating their breakfast.
The Gate
Gates are fascinating to me. On one side they can keep you out from a certain area on the other side they can open up a new world on the other side. Enjoy!
Cooling Off!
I was photographing on a hot day in Chicago, Illinois. Children were happy to get soaked and I was happy to photograph. Stay cool!

The name of this dog is Remington. He loves to play and so do I. He played with a ball and I with my camera!
