Desert Sunset

 I was shooting photos of wild horses earlier in the day and camped near Simpson Springs out on the West Desert of Utah. That evening this beautiful sunset was displaying out to the west, too beautiful to pass up.

Golden Spray

 This photo was captured on an iPhone and enlarged using On1 2022.5. I decreased about 50

% of the noise but left the color and other aspects of the photo alone.

Joshua Tree Sun Burst

 With the sun starting to drop in the west I was able to shoot directly into it and with a tiny aperture to create this sun burst through the branch of a Joshua tree.

Under Billowing Sails

 With a stiff afternoon wind, the sails were fully deployed, and we were underway.

Across the Dock

 With the shore lights illuminating the masts of the sailboats causing a wonderful contrast against the water this becomes a beautiful scene.

Early Morning Color

 Sunrise over Santa Barbara, CA at 4:30 in the morning. We were so excited to be going sailing that sleep eluded us, so we went on a photo shoot.

Morning without Color

 This B&W of the early morning at Santa Barbara, CA shows just how deceptively quiet the ocean can be. Later that day it proved to be a nightmare as the seas were 8 to 10' and the winds kicking up at about 30 mph.

Baja Tip

This was the view from our balcony aboard the cruise ship as we rounded the tip of The Baja Peninsula as we approached Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
