The Big Valley

I love shooting Sunsets in the San Joaquin valley.

I finished work early yesterday and thought I would relax for a little while.

I went to Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz and photographed the surfers.

I shot at 1/250 & 1/500 and overexposed +0.3, for the backlight.

Here are some of my pictures from Thunder Mountain. The sky was flat, but the grounds were incredible. I tried to concentrate on the buildings and sculptures.

This Year in Denio, Nv

 

The "ranch ladies" of Denio had me back this Fall for a second time. We all had a wonderful weekend filled with photography and Delia’s good cooking. Here are some pictures of Rob, Delia’s husband, his horse and an old truck at midnight.
