This is either my hobby, or its sidekick. I'm not sure if it makes sense to distinguish? I grew up on the East Coast, and moved to California at 18 to do volunteer work for a year. After exploring Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and the Bay Area in general, and then driving cross country, I realized there was a BIG world out there, and I wanted to see it. I love to camp, or at least hike, in the mountains, and after you do that long enough, it feels a shame not to bring a camera along.

These are from a D60 and a 5D ... people like to ask about that. Both are digital cameras; the time between hitting the shutter and getting prints back kept me from learning anything in the film days.

Hey there and welcome! Very nice photography. My dad says that I'm "naturally gifted" lol. Do you photoshop your images to make them look cleaner?

I'm also a big fan of hiking, camping, and tramping. California is just the perfect place to do it all and soak it all in with it's landscapes and variety of different environments!

Thanks. I do some work in Photoshop on all of these. Most or all of them I shoot in RAW mode, so I like to do a custom white balance, then play with the curves and channel mixer adjustment to get the contrast and color rendition just right.

For the second one, the shutter was open for a few seconds, shaded from light by the redwoods - the canopy is pretty thick - and with the camera on a tripod. The water is constantly moving, and given enough time it blurs in a really interesting way.

Stars do the same thing, but that takes more like ten minutes:
