BARN IN FOG

I’d driven by this barn for years and had an image in my mind that I wanted to create. I finally got around to making it and of course it was shrouded in fog. While it wasn’t exactly what I wanted, I think the fog added a nice element to it.

LA Dawn

I love the Hollywood Bowl Overlook so much that I went back the next morning for sunrise. The weather gods were fickle this morning. Downtown was shrouded in fog but it led to some amazing colors.

South Beach Miami Sunrise Time-Lapse

This was a windy January morning. I’ve always loved this part of South Beach. It feels very different from the restaurant and club area that is just a few blocks away.

Pulling up at 6am, you pass the last of the club goers from the night before on their way home. You walk out onto the jetty in the pitch black and the ocean seems to go on forever.

Aside from the birds which are ever present thorn in my side, the only thing I would have changed is the cloud line. The clouds at the horizon crushed the moment of sunrise. Other than that I enjoyed the people moving in and out of frame, the ship that came into port and the wind that continuously swept the clouds from right to left.

Obscured Giant Ball of Fire

This is my favorite moment of every sunrise. The sun is large in frame. It’s not too bright yet. It looks like an angry ball of fire climbing into the sky.

Alas, these clouds stole the moment. I do still think it was cool, peeking through.

Layers of clouds

I loved how the clouds were layered here. The clouds in front were dark and moved very quickly. The clouds higher up and farther behind were lit by the sun and moved much slower in the wind.

ORANGE SKY

I cheated a little bit to make this photo. I zoomed in to cut out the top portion of the sky. This made the entire sky look orange and gave the water a purplish hue.

Windy Morning Beach Visit

This was a windy November morning. The clouds looked promising as the sun started to fill the sky with layers of colors.

The pier off to the left was creating a fun silhouette as the light continued to creep in.

SUNRISE OVER BROADWAY

After a little bit of a run in with a truck, I finally got to see it. The orange ball that I love so much climbed above the trees on the horizon and looked right down Broadway. Lighting the empty, partially wet street in beautiful, orange morning light.

BRIGHT LIGHTS EARLY IN THE MORNING

Broadway is an incredible place. Normally packed with people and music pouring out of every honkey tonk. It’s a very fun night out on the town.

But early in the morning before the sun comes up, it’s still and peaceful. The neon lights hum softly as a few employees finish cleaning and locking up for the night.

RAINBOW CURVE

Rainbow curve is up around 8000 feet of elevation in Rocky Mountain National Park so this was a crisp July morning.

I got there right as color started to break the horizon. It went from pitch black to beautiful layers of intense orange slowly fading into deeper and deeper blue.
