Fire Photography Series 3 – Spruce Grove Campground
On a recent rip to Spruce Grove Campground in Angeles National Forest, I tried another attempt at Fire Photography. I’m not proud of this series and I don’t think the photos came out very well at all this time around, but I’ve got some ideas on how to make things better for next time. I do certainly like some of the long fibrous looking sparks, which remind me of don …Read More
Badwater Basin Photos – Death Valley National Park
These pictures of Badwater Basin were taken during a Photography tour through Death Valley National Park on Thanksgiving Weekend in November of 2009.

Badwater Basin’s claim to fame is that …Read More

Dantes View is at the top of a mountain rising from the floor of Death Valley National Park. The peak …Read More

Fire Art – Series 2 – From Sequoia National Forest
This set of photos is my second attempt at creating interesting images by manipulating fire. The Camping and Backpacking Fire fulfills a primal urge, providing light and heat in a landscape that would otherwise be dark and frigid. These six shots were taken during a recent Camping Trip to the Sandy Flat Campground in Sequoia National Forest. Unfortunately, my Circular Polarizer ($100 lens filter) was destroyed during the generation of …Read More
