While at my friend Tom’s place in the Hollywood Hills, we hiked a nearby trail overlooking the city. Zooming in on downtown LA, I captured this shot. Whether fog, cloud, smog, or a mix, it created a lucky and beautiful effect!
Yesterday I shared a shot taken while waiting for sunset. This was the scene a little later. Well worth the visit!
While we were waiting on the approaching sunset, I grabbed this shot which just felt right for a little texture.
After a much needed (and enjoyed) trip to spend time with the family, now it’s time to make the long journey back to NZ. First stop on an epic 3 day trek… LA.
It’s all been very Scottish around here for the past month or two… and I’ve a bunch more images to share although some are locked up in an NDA for a while and will need to wait. Anyway, for today i thought I’d offer you a little palate cleanser, something completely different to more Scottish landscapes. I’ve spent a bunch of time recently in the US with family, which has been awesome as I don’t get to see them enough, and on the way I took a little stop to visit an art gallery/exhibition/event in L.A. before heading on to Austin. Here’s a little shot I grabbed from there.
Death Valley is a pretty harsh place. It’s especially harsh if you happen to live your life as mud.
I took this while I was cooking alive in Death Valley, California. It must have been like 130 degrees outside (but quite dry) or something. That’s next level stuff but the rock formations were just so fascinating I had to keep exploring.
I was over on Treasure Island one evening taking photos when I saw the sun sinking through a lot of moisture in the air. I also saw Alcatraz out in the water, so I jumped in a car to drive around and find a spot where everything lined up together. Turned out not too bad and ended up being a great night too!
I was doing an old promo video for Smugmug, which is the website that hosts my portfolio. They are a great company and I’ve been a fan for many years. They did a few “promo” videos staring yours truly and this was one of the locations we visited. They would get footage of me looking “cool” with my tripod. I don’t really think I look that cool. I look quite nerdy. But, comfortable with my nerdiness, I think!
