Just in Case…
December 31, 2019— Sonoma County Coast Just in case you’ve come to the conclusion that I’ve abandoned all but abstract, here’s one where Mother Nature is best left alone to do her own thing. (Canon G5X II. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.1; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
Picture-in-Picture
Dec 30, 2019 — Sonoma County Coast What a difference a crop makes. (This isn’t quite monochrome. There’s subtle color here, but WP — WordPress — has all but WiPed is out.) (Nikon D500, Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR zoom. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.1; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
Fury
December 30, 2019 — Sonoma County Coast Working on a dream. More to come… (Nikon D500, Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR zoom. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.1; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
Abstraction
January 1, 2020 — Sonoma County Coast This is what it all boils down up to. (Nikon D500, Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR zoom. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.1; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
Realization
January 1, 2020 — Sonoma County Coast Sometimes you move back to express the essence. Sometimes you move in. (Nikon D500, Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR zoom. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.1; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
Discovery
January 1, 2020 — Sonoma County coast First it was the sound and fury. Then it was the form and color. Actually it was always the form and color. (Nikon D500, Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6E ED VR zoom. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.1; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
Down to the Sea in Shots
January 1, 2020 — Sonoma County coast The clouds parted. The sky drama left us. But the sea drama came to take its place. Weather alerts. High surf warnings. Rip currents. Watch out for sneaker waves. I saw a complete idiot take his cocker spaniel onto the beach, only to run back seconds later. He was bucking for a Darwin Award. I found a low, but safe, vantage point. Hundreds of frames were shot. This […]
Back to Our Story
Picking up from the December 31 post. But the storm wasn’t all Rothko. Something else was afoot with the weather. Maybe Mother Nature had been listening to Duke Ellington — as I have been recently — and misinterpreted Take the “A” Train as Take the A-Frame. Or something… I don’t know… (Nikon D850, Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.1; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.) More seascape horizons: www.amagaphoto.com
Happy New Year
January 1, 2020, Sonoma County Coast The new year is often celebrated with fireworks. The best display I know of — within a reasonable distance — is old Mr. Sol. Here he is with a flourish of green, as he appeared a couple of nights ago. May you be blessed with perfect vision, peace, prosperity, and growth in 2020.

Vacation / Overtime
December 29, 2019 — Sonoma Coast, Afternoon It would seem, six hours later, that Turner was on vacation and Rothko was working overtime. (Nikon D850, Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 3.1; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.) More seascape horizons: www.amagaphoto.com
Morning
December 29, 2019 — Sonoma Coast In her comment on yesterday’s post, Margot pointed out to me that stormy weather brings me Turner, while calm weather brings me Rothko. Wise and helpful words. But Mother Nature works in wonderful and mysterious ways. In the morning, her storm brought me Rothko. Who am I to refuse? The afternoon? Well, stay tuned… (Nikon D850, Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR.

Prelude (I hope)
December 28, 2019 — Sonoma Coast, this afternoon It has been said on this very blog, among other places, that the best photography happens in the worst weather. That’s where the drama is. Today was pleasant. Very pleasant. Not so dramatic, however. The weather prognosticators prognosticate drama for tomorrow. We shall see. (Nikon D850, Nikon 24-120mm f/4G VR.

Anticipation
December 26, 2018 — Sonoma Coast This was a year ago. Tomorrow? We shall see. (Nikon D500, Nikon AF-P NIKKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6E ED VR. RAW processing in DxO PhotoLab 2.0; Editing in Adobe Photoshop.)
Merry / Happy Christmas / Holidays
December 25, 2019 — Earth Every year, our holiday card features a shot from our travels and every year I use the same clip-art Santa hats and the same elements for an Easter egg or two — because what better time for an Easter egg than Christmas? And every year we come up with the most corny doggerel we can think up: When you go to the land of the Swiss There’s a view you […]
