Featured July 04, 2008 - California Vernal Falls Yosemite National Park Photos ![]() Vernal Falls Yosemite National Park. Yosemite is one of the most visited and photographed natural places in the world. Over four million people now come to the park each year. For many a visit is an annual rite of summer. Although the iconic locations within the park have been photographed by the best landscape photographers in the world using the latest equipment in every season and every light arguably no one has matched the early black and white work of Ansel Adams. For myself even given the crowds it just doesnt get much better than a family vacation to Yosemite National Park. I enjoy placing people in the frame to try and capture some since of the sheer scale of the park. ![]() YOS-042 Request Pricing More Yosemite National Park Photos
Featured June 28, 2008 - San Gorgonio Mountain Photos ![]() I have had the opportunity to overnight on the summit of San Gorgonio Mountain a couple of times now. At eleven thousand five hundred feet San Gorgonio is the tallest point in Southern California. On a clear day you can see from Riverside County to the north to Palm Springs Coachella Valley and even the Salton Sea to the South. This photo of the setting moon was taken from the summit several years ago before sunrise in early July. The camera was a Nikon FM2 setup on a boulder with a 24mm lens and cable release. ![]() SGM-001 Request Pricing More San Gorgonio Mountain Photos
Featured June 23, 2008 - Blue Whale Spout Photos ![]() A Blue Whale exhales upon surfacing producing the large characteristic spout. On calm days the mist formed spout can rise twenty feet or more in height and be easily seen from several miles away. After breathing at the surface for several minutes Blue Whales will often dive and stay submerged for ten to fifteen minutes or more at a time. ![]() WBL-049 Request Pricing More Blue Whale Photos
Featured June 19, 2008 - Ocean Sunfish or Mola mola Photos ![]() Looking much like the Elephant Man the Ocean Sunfish is truly an odd character. The scientific name of the Sunfish is Mola mola. A large pelagic fish species individuals can achieve weights of over 3000 pounds. Molas feed exclusively by slurping up large quantities of plankton such as jellyfish and salps. The first impression of a Sunfish underwater is that of a huge fish that is all head and no tail. ![]() FMO-048 Request Pricing More Sunfish / Mola Photos
