There's just something truly magical about this particular stretch of coastline. It’s a reliable source of peace and has gifted me countless incredible sunsets over the years, and this fiery seascape is definitely one of the best! ???? Swipe to see the transformation! I’ve included a quick video of the editing process so you can see the before and after of how I enhance the mood and bring these colors to life.

Checked off a major bucket list item at Zabriskie Point! The first two time-lapses show my very first successful capture of the Aurora. It was faint—more color on the horizon than a dance overhead—but I'll take it! It was an absolute privilege to witness any color at all from this far south. ​What made the night perfect was the location: the dark, silent badlands of Death Valley are a true stargazing paradise. The clear conditions let me grab that great cloud movement against the stars, and the grand finale was the powerful moonrise timelapse lighting up the amazing texture of the Badlands. An unforgettable night of cosmic magic. . . . ​#DeathValleyNationalPark #FirstAurora #NorthernLights #TimelapsePhotography #Badlands #StarGazing #Moonrise #Astrophotography #NightSky #NightPhotography #Space #DesertLife #NaturePhotography #ZabriskiePoint #DeathValley #NightScape #StarTrail #Cosmic #DesertPhotography #MilkyWayChasers #Lapse #Reel #InstaReels #Visuals #canonusa #California #InyoCounty #UnescoWorldHeritage #DarkSky #ExplorePage

Back in the saddle for a classic LA moonrise. ????➡️???? A week ago, I joined a friend to help them capture the moonrise over Downtown LA. It had honestly been a while since I'd attempted a day-to-night time lapse, and I felt a little rusty, but nature certainly showed up for us! We had a perfect window: the moon cleared the horizon just as the last hints of sunset color were streaking across the Basin. Though the alignment wasn't perfectly lined up with the skyline from our location, we quickly found the best composition possible. It was a great reminder that even when you're shooting a familiar subject, getting out with good people to chase those "perfect moments" makes all the difference. Always worth the effort! . . . ​#MoonriseTimelapse #LosAngelesPhotography #DTLASkyline #HolyGrailTimelapse #SunsetLovers #NightPhotography #TimelapseVideo #PhotographyTips #NightLapse #AstroPhotography #LongExposure #200mm #Intervalometer #MilkyWay #LAViews #LosAngelesLife #Socal #WeLoveLA #conquer_la #losangelesgrammers #EpicMoments #canonusa #NatureLover #BeautifulDestinations #ExploreCalifornia #GoldenHour #InstaGood #ReelsVideo #ForYouPage #VisualArt

Under the gentle glow of the moon, North Lake transforms into another world, one where vibrant fall colors meet a restless sky. As a storm rolled in, I found myself alone at this popular spot, soaking in the quiet and painting the landscape with long exposures while everyone else was gone for the night. Sometimes, the best moments are the ones you share with nature, just you, the wind, and the shifting clouds. I had about 30 minutes to shoot before the rain began and the moonlight faded, making each frame feel precious. Night shots from here are rare, and I’ve never had a moonlit opportunity like this during peak fall color; usually a new moon coincides with autumn’s prime, leaving the landscape in darkness. This was a special night, a gift of moonlit color and atmospheric drama to remember. For this image, I used a long exposure for the foreground and a shorter exposure for the sky to capture both sharp stars and mood. Focusing was a real challenge with fast-moving clouds and moisture drifting in the air, making every shot hard-won but all the more rewarding. . . . #northlake #easternsierra #moonlightphotography #nightscape #fallcolors #autumnvibes #quietmoments #landscapephotography #californiaphotographer #naturelovers #longexposure_shots #peacefulnight #bishopcreek #californiafallcolor #aspen #visitcalifornia #cloudscape #mountainlake #stormyweather #moodynature #natureperfection #explorecalifornia #outdoorphotography #astrophotography #starscape #nightscaper #autumnleaves #fallfoliage #mytinyatlas #colorsoftheearth

Back on a little scouting mission to a location that I hadn’t visited in quite a few years, so this nights return felt extra special. Sometimes the plan is just to check a location, and the sky rewards you for showing up. Even better: I got to chat with a few photographers visiting from Germany, who were shooting film, and ran into an old student and her friend. It’s always the people you meet, not just the view, that makes these nights memorable. For this shot I did some focus stacking and exposure stacking, which with complex scenes is no joke, putting it all together was more of a challenge than expected, but the result was well worth it. . . . #losangelessunset #sunsetphotography #landscapephotography #californiasunset #cityscape #sunsetlovers #discoverla #photographerlife #lightchasers #goldenhour #capturetoday #visualstorytelling #exploremore #chasinglight #visitcalifornia #photooftheday #la #californiadreamin #travelphotography #urbanexploration #canonusa #nisiopticisusa #teamcanon #losangelesphotographer #losangelescalifornia #californiaphotographer #sunsetvibes #landscapelovers #sunsetmadness #sunsets_captures

Sometimes the best lessons come with a little mistake, like when I realized I’d focused with my ND filter still on for this Laguna Beach sunset last night. Even though the camera said I was in focus, it was a slight bit off. I know to always take my ND filters off when focusing in soft light, but a phone call distracted me, and I forgot this critical step. The result was a soft image, but a bit of Photoshop blending magic with a sharper earlier exposure brought back the crisp details and transformed this moment into something I love. With the tide low and the waves calm like a lake, I opted for a long exposure. Every shoot is a learning experience, embracing the process and salvaging beauty from the unexpected. Enjoy this sunset while the weekend begins! ???? . . . #sunset #sunsetphotography #sunsetlovers #sunsets #naturephotography #landscape #sky #photooftheday #beach #travelphotography #sunsetmadness #californiasunset #lagunabeach #longexposure #nisiopticsusa #photoshopmagic #embracetheprocess #photoshop #lightroom #sunsetgram #sunsetbeach #sunsetsky #landscapephotography #naturelovers #canonusa #clouds #adventure #instagood #longexposure_shots #beautifuldestinations

Chasing Comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan–ATLAS) last October around Los Angeles was quite the adventure! My friend @elcocrowe and I ventured out to find dark skies not far from home and managed to capture these 3 time lapse clips of the comet setting below the horizon. A funny moment from the first night: at sunset, a small bright cloud fooled a couple of early leavers, they thought that was the comet! About 40 minutes later, the comet appeared in all its glory, proving that trusting your planning and apps beats the crowd every time. One driver even swore he saw the comet at sunset and thought the show was over before it began! I was happy after 2 nights of time lapse and 1 night of tracking, but when I saw there was a chance of fog, I made my way out one more time to shoot and was rewarded with almost ideal fog conditions alongside the comet, a rare, magical atmosphere for a night sky shoot. As the nights went on, the moon grew brighter, dimming the comet a bit, but fortunately, it gently lit up the foregrounds, easing our time lapse exposures and creating beautiful compositions. Astronomy reminds us to be patient and trust the journey, sometimes the best views come after the wait. ????✨ #CometTsuchinshanATLAS #Astrophotography #TimelapseVideo #MilkyWayPhotography #NightScapePhotography #LAStars #canonusa #conquer_la #NatureTimelapse #ExploreLA #NightSkyLovers #AstroReels #SkyChasers #StarGazing #CometChasing #SpacePhotography #LongExposurePhotography #DarkSky #CosmicViews #InstagramAstronomy #OutdoorPhotography #NatureLovers #ScenicViews #CelestialEvents #landscape #timelapse #naturephotography #lagrammers #landscapephotography #adventure

There's always that moment of hesitation before exploring somewhere new, especially when you're scouting for something as special as Eastern Sierra fall colors. I took a chance on this spot, not knowing what I'd find, and it repaid that risk tenfold. This view? Beyond my wildest expectations. Sometimes you just have to trust your adventurous spirit. . . . #easternsierrafall #autumnphotography #CaliforniaAdventure #MountainViews #fallvibes #NatureLover #TravelGram #Inspiration #ExploreMore #GetOutside #nisiopticsusa #SierraBeauty #LandscapePhotography #WorthTheEffort #HighSierra #CaliforniaFall #OptOutside #AdventureTime #MountainPhotography #canonusa #AspenTrees #ValleyViews #AutumnLight #naturalcalifornia #BeautifulDestinations #longexposure_shots #TheGreatOutdoors #TravelPhotography #PhotographyLife #FindYourPeak
