Changes at Marsh Creek

It is pretty interesting to see how much the water has changed in a short period of time over at Marsh Creek

One down....

I was able to find safe access to one of the Barns I have been wanting to shoot. Access was pretty easy and I may return to try shooting again with a different lens.

In other news, I am signing up for Shutterstock. Hoping they accept my initial 10 photos. Do any of you use Shuterstock to sell pics? What is your experience?

Tree and Black Diamond

While hiking at Black Diamond I came across this tree with exposed roots that was pretty cool.  I don't think my pictures really do it justice, but a few of the shots came out pretty cool.

The tree is growing through some type of sandstone or rock

Updated: Images shot with my Tamron Ultra Wide Angle lens.

Brushy Peak Regional Preserve

This photo was the first one I had published. It was featured in the East Bay Regional Park District activity guide a few months back.

Marsh Creek hillside

I took this HDR image a few days ago while driving through Brentwood. I have probably past this location 20 or 30 times and had never even noticed the rocks on the hill let alone the trees.  But I had pulled into a small side road to take a photo of the nearby ranch and saw the perfect hill for a picture.

This photo was featured this week by The Digital Visual.
