The big city of dreams, the city that never sleeps, the home of Liz Lemon. All great things. This was a particularly fun night walking around NYC and keeping our eyes looking up. 30 Rockefeller Plaza is spectacular in the way it lights up the night sky.
From this angle the funky colors of the Experience Music Project Museum next to the Space Needle almost make it look like part of the sky is missing.
I love waterfalls. I love the ocean. The incredible McWay Waterfall in Big Sur gave me the best of both with a waterfall that drops right onto the beach.
It was almost time for dinner. Thankfully I wasn’t hungry yet and snuck in a few long exposure shots just after the sun went down and the sky still had the faintest light. A guest appearance by some light traffic added popping color.
Night shots require a little bit of patience along with some luck. It gets dark every night but not every night has this kind of mood to it. The dark sky made this long exposure really made Grace Cathedral look out of this world.
This may look like a relaxing place to hang out by a waterfall, but it was not. Standing here meant I was exposed to the full spray of the waterfall. I had to clean my lens and immediately take the shot before it had water drops all over it again. I could have taken this from the side, as other photographers did after walking by me and looking at me like I was crazy, but I had to have that big fallen tree sticking right out at me.
Some fast moving clouds meant that I got to have some fun photographing these tall palm trees. The colors were crazy with the night sky and the different colors of light coming from houses nearby.
Not San Jose, CA, but San Jose Costa Rica. Most people had gone to sleep, but a few cars were on the street to provide me with some light trails.
