"Cypress Grove" Location: Presidio, San Francisco. I have always loved the calm feeling of early morning hours among fog shrouded cypress trees. It's been a while since I was thinking of photographing here, so I was happy to be able to spend some time here and get this image. Tech Info: Lens: Canon EF 70-200 f/4L IS @ 93mm Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mk II Exposure: 0.4sec at f/18 and ISO 160 Pano: Three horizontal images stitched in PS.
San Francisco is a busy metropolitan area but just a few miles to the north exists a place so quiet and unique that it is such a perfect escape from the chaos of the city life. Mt. Tam, as it is locally know, is a perfect vantage point to watch the summer fog rolling into the bay or just enjoy the hike on its undulating hills and redwood forests.
"Mt Whitney Night Glow" Location: Alabama Hills, Lone Pine, California. It is one of the amazing displays you can enjoy watching Mt. Whitney reflecting moonlight. I originally arrived here to shoot sunrise but while I was here I noticed the wonderful glow on the peak. A long exposure also shows a few star-trails. Tech Info: Lens: Canon EF 70-200 f/4L IS @ 200mm Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mk II Exposure: 30sec at f/5 and ISO 50 One has to really visit eastern sierra landscapes to truly appreciate its beauty. I don't think any photograph can do the justice of what it feels to hike on barren landscapes, camp besides some of the most scenic lakes and feel out of breath at high altitudes. Over the years I have had a few chances to hike on eastern sierra mountains including Mt. Whitney, but only recently I began to photograph it. So here are few images from one of the most unique places on the Sierra-Nevada mountain range.
