Great Tips for Winter Photography

December 11, 2009

Steve Berardi at PhotoNaturalist has become my go-to-guy for photography tips — not just because he’s got a great eye and lots of knowledge (and he helped me with some technical problems a few nights ago), but also because he’s willing to shout out other sources when people are looking for help.
His recent post, [...]

Early Photos of the Station Fire Area

December 10, 2009

A combination of work busyness and recent rain closures … along with a desire to not get too depressed … have prevented me from driving through the Station Fire burn area to take pictures, but it didn’t stop the GeekHiker, who made the trip last weekend.

November 13, 2009

With the Angeles National Forest still mostly closed off, the Santa Monica Mountains are the place to be this weekend. With some cooler temperatures in the forecast, it’s the perfect time to bundle up (SoCal style) and hit a trail in the mountains.

The longest stretch of the Backbone Festival is tomorrow, Saturday the [...]

Wow. Just, Wow.

November 11, 2009

While playing Outdoor Blog Catch-Up today, I stumbled upon this incredible time-lapse video of some California wilderness on SoCal Hikes.
It was shot by Tom from Timescapes with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II – a truly drool-worthy (and expensive) piece of image-making technology. Maybe these astounding images will make you want to start a [...]

He’s working on a new book of photography and – thankfully – took a videographer along with him on his travels.

L.A. River Photos

June 15, 2009

Photographer / Programmer Dave Bullock has not been taking our recent, hopefully-ending-just-now stretch of June Gloom lying down.
Instead, he’s taken it upon himself to explore and photograph the more vacant, industrial sections of Los Angeles … which include some great shots of the Los Angeles River — both with and without some visiting birds.
It’s different [...]

Jaw-Dropping Flickr Pool

May 11, 2009

It’s Monday, which means you’re probably killing some time on your lunch hour, wishing your were out on the trail somewhere above the cloud line.
Some of you may be lucky enough to be out there right now, but the rest of us can enjoy the unbelievable Flickr photostream of the Los Angeles-based Ben H.
