Bokeh Sunrise

This past Sunday a few friends and I went to an early morning breakfast. As we were driving up a hill near the Benicia refineries we saw the most beautiful sunrise. The colors were so vibrant, it was like nothing I’d ever seen before. The colors were stacked there was a distinct line where the colors changed.I struggled to get my camera out of the camera bag to capture it. Since there was nobody else on the road we were able to stop for about 45 seconds and admire it. Just in time to see the colors and watch it disappear.

 Now on another note. I’m not really sure about this picture. I’m not in love with the picture if you know what I mean. I’m somewhat disappointed that I couldn’t capture it as it truly was.

 

Sneak Peek – Jordan and Jared

Let’s keep this post short and sweet.  I’m going to share with you just one picture.

More to come soon.

 Don’t they look sharp?

The Bokeh I’ve Been Dreaming Of…

Lately I’ve been dreaming of bokeh. It’s really quite odd

 So here is a little peek of what I’ve been dreaming about lately.

(note-these are not my images)

It’s Raining!

Just wanted to let you know…

Tanbark Choas

Taken at a local school a month or two ago. There is usually a pretty large gap between the time when I actually take the photo and when I post it.  Whoops! In the coming months there will be more photos up.

Revisiting J&H

A couple shots from their Trash the Dress session back in May.

Playing with layers

The Cliff

These were taken when we went up to Mendocino. This one was taken at the Point Cabrillo light station.

it looked like some exotic scene from a movie. Too gorgeous for words

 

Because everything is cooler in the form of a polaroid.

I’ve already posted these pictures before, here they are in a new light.

 

 

This one is my favorite.

Take a hike…

Well I did just that recently on our trip to Pescadero and look what Marissa and I found.  A little bridge tucked away overlooking the creek.

Enjoy

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing…

Insert rest of Jack Johnson song here 

Old Honda Trail 90.

Just sitting there, waiting patiently waiting.

So Small

Conquering the Beast

Purple and Amber

I know it’s a rather dark but I love the purple in the glass and the amber hues of the wood.

I also added a light canvas texture in photoshop.

zebra

Another “Polaroid”.

This picture was taken quite a while back when we went to Cabela’s in Reno. So this is not a living zebra, it is stuffed. Creepy I know.

Poladroid

 

Hey there!

So recently I found this program that I am in love with. It’s called Poladroid, and it is very cool. You just download the program, then you drag and drop then your photos pop out and you have the option to wait and let it develop or if you like to have fun (like me) you shake the picture and it develops faster.

It takes your pictures from

This

To This

Which in my opinion is way more fun.  

 

On the way…

This is another picture from our vacation to Mendocino. It was at the first beach we stopped at on our way up.

Jacob & Hillary

In my last post I mentioned that I had some exciting posts coming up.  I cannot tell you how excited I am to post these pictures.   These next few photos are some of among my favorite photos that I’ve taken to date.

Hillary and Jacob were so much fun to work with and I had a blast shooting them with Giovanna.

And a special thanks to Hillary for letting me post these

Enjoy

An end to the posting drought…

Hope you enjoy
