The Passing
Summer storms in Tahoe create some amazing conditions for photography. The amazing blue tones, dramatic skies and soft light came together nicely for this image. A long, open shutter smooths the water and allows a view below the surface of the alpine lake. Though perhaps not the most colorful sunset, there was something special about this one. Our family cat of 19 years passed away on this morning. I was in need of a nice distraction and ended up with a beautiful tribute.
Secret Sunset
This image was shot from Lake Tahoe’s eastern shore during a late Autumn sunset. During the summer, this secluded cove is a favorite destination for nude sun bathers. Later in the year however, it is much too cold for the scantily clad to bare their skin. This also means you can show up and watch the sunset without perhaps even seeing another soul. Simply serene. This scene is one of my personal favorites from around the popular alpine lake - one of Tahoe’s most beautiful gems. The small beach, aptly named Secret Cove, is littered with medium sized boulders and unbelievable leopard like sand patterns in the shallows. Tahoe’s clear water and smooth skies compliment the scene beautifully.

Tunnel Burn
I caught this amazing sunset from Yosemite's famous "Tunnel View" vista point during a spontaneos Winter visit. Like many of the sunsets I have captured, this one also seemed like it would turn out to be a dud. Fortunately, luck was on my side and I talked myself out of driving straight back to camp in favor of taking a chance. After just a few moments of waiting and setting up my equipment, the sky lit up vibrantly on all sides and the winds calmed. The combination of color and alpenglow came together beautifully to compliment one of Earth's most magnificent views.
Stepping Stones
This is one of my favorite images from the shores of Lake Tahoe. This springtime sunset came together with the ultimate combination of stillness, perfect light and color in the sky.
