| Mid-October, 2012, about a week before a storm dropped 3 feet of snow on the Sierra Nevada. |
| I was out camping to catch the Lyrid meteor shower in April, and this storm started as I was cooking dinner on the campfire! |
Continuing the retrospective look at my last decade of travel and landscape photography, 2006 – 2015. Here are some of my favorites from 2012. Although this was my second full year covering Southern California for my guidebook “Photographing California Vol. 2 – South, A guide to the natural landmarks of the Golden State“, I still had an absurd amount of ground to cover for the book!
| I pursued a lot of astrophotography in 2012, including many moon-landmark alignments, which change every year |
| These fishermen didn’t even see the coyote on the beach behind them! |
| In 2012 I started my night photography workshops in the authentic Wild West “ghost town” of Bodie. Join us this year! |
| This alignment I anticipated weeks in advance was photographed from over a dozen miles away. |
| Sometimes the soft light of twilight can be better then the adjacent sunrise or sunset! Mono Lake. |
| Lake Tahoe in sunrise light |
| Bodie during golden hour, after the park visitors have left and we have the place entirely to ourselves! |
| Everyone was going to shoot Venus crossing in front of the sun, but I added earth to the composition as well! |
This was a selection of a few of my favorites from an album of over 50 photos from 2012, so there are many more that you might prefer over these. To see more of them, click on the link or album photo below.
