Huntington Beach Pier

Here is a pic of the Huntington Beach Pier shot with my Mavic. It was my second to last day there and there was a crazy storm. I did manage to get the drone up and get some footage and some pics before the weather got really bad.

Sunset Cliffs San Diego

California was just awesome, it was so much fun. I went from San Diego to Santa Monica and back. This is how my trip ended. I shot this at sunset cliffs in San Diego California the last day I was there. In fact I went to the airport right after to catch a red eye back home.

Lombard Street

Here is a picture of the famous Lombard Street in San Francisco California. I shot this on my way to the airport and I was a bit in a rush, it was cold and windy but I was determined to get the shot. I had my camera positioned in such a way that it kept falling off. Finally after trying this shot for about 30 minutes waiting for cars to come and my camera to stop falling I feel I got the shot. I wanted to create a sense of movement thats why getting the cars in the shot was important. The lights show movement and also helps to identify Lombard street a bit better.

Surfing USA

Whats the perfect way to end a night? Well, for me it was shooting the sunset, for this two guys it was leaving the surfboards on the sand and going for a quick dip to release their inner child. It was loads of fun to watch and better yet to be a part of…

You can’t see the surfers as this was a long exposure. The reason I did the shot at F22 was to get the startburst effect on the lights.

Street Portraits

This is one of my favorite street portraits I have ever taken in my life. I shot this at Outside Lands a music festival in San Francisco California. Well I was sitting there waiting for a band to come onstage, I pulled out my camera and started taking pictures of people, when I turned around this couple was hanging out and it happened so fast but he went in for a kiss, that’s when I picked up my camera and snapped this photo. It’s so in the moment and the timing could not be more perfect. I love the story the photo tells.
