Recently, I went to the lake and captured this image of the water. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the clouds and colors of the sky were reflecting on the surface of the water, making it look like a watercolor painting! Enjoy!

Beneath the Waters
I took this image when I was in San Diego about a month ago and I loved the boats reflection on the water, as it looked like another world beneath. I turned the image upside down for a cool effect. Enjoy!
The Upside Down
This back alley way in Merced always leaves a long strip of water in the parking lot after a rainstorm. I have always found the reflections in the water to be really interesting and fun to see when the light hits the water just right. I flipped this image upside down to give it an interesting effect. Enjoy!
Reflective Waters
I took this image near the canal that surrounds my house. I feel like this image perfectly captures the beauty of the Central Valley sunsets. Enjoy!

Raindrops
Here is another image I captured after the recent rainfall. This is one of my favorites! I love how the rain drops rest on the leaves after a fresh rain. Enjoy!
Resting Raindrops
Sierra Nevadas, CA. This image was captured while during a summer hike in the mountains. It had just rained and every leaf had a drop of rain resting upon it.
Balloons 02
I called this image “Exploding Heart.” It is always amazing to me what kind of image you get depending on how much water is in the balloon and where you poke the hole.
Enjoy and keep on photographing!
Balloons
Today’s exercise requires a little bit of preparations. Get yourself a few balloons, fill them with water, hand them up with a string and photograph them while your are poking them with a needle. Here is a link with a detailed guide on how to do it. Go to http://www.digitalcameraworld.com/2013/10/15/high-speed-photography-ideas-how-to-capture-water-balloons-as-they-explode/
Instead of one I am using two strobe lights. Camera setting 55mm focal length cropped, f16, 1/20 sec. exposure time. In my other shots I increased the exposure time to freeze the action better.
Enjoy this exercise because it is a lot of fun!
PS: Don’t forget to cover up your strobe(s) and camera properly!
