Spiral Fern
This is one of the outdoor staircases at the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco. I woke up early to shoot the nonexistent sunrise, so instead wondered through the city looking for shots that would work with no sunlight. Thanks to +Trey Ratcliff's +Stuck On Earth app and +Thomas Hawk for pointing me to this sweet spot. +Stuck In Customs

Vanishing Point
If I told you which building this is in San Francisco it wouldn't be nearly as interesting as leaving it to your imagination. But probably one of you knows which building this is anyway.

Sante Fe Station
This train station in downtown San Diego is great for photography, especially at night. The inside is worth checking out too, especially the ceiling.

This was taken out at Arch Rock on Friday, 28 December. Often, night photographers lament the full moon, which blots out the stars from the night sky. I decided I'd embrace it, give it a big hug, and make it part of the photo. I light painted the arch using a powerful flashlight and a headlamp set to red. All photos from trip here: http://www.elevenshadows.com/travels/joshuatree2012december/ Title: The Guardian of Forever Info: Nikon D7000, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens, Feisol tripod. Exposure time 25 seconds at f/8, ISO 200. Light painted with flashlight and red headlamp. Photographer: Ken Lee Location: Arch Rock, Joshua Tree National Park, California, USA.

Corona Seascape
I cut my bare feet up a bit getting out to this spot at low tide to get the sun in the right spot, but of course it was totally worth it. This is little Corona Beach in Corona Del Mar, CA. If you look closely you can see a bunch of cormorants on the big rock, a sailboat in the distance with Catalina Island behind, and the Corona Del Mar Pier.

A Quiet Walk Among Giants
This is Muir Woods north of San Francisco. These are coast redwoods, which thrive in places like this that often have dense fog. They are generally taller but not as thick in diameter as the related giant sequoias.

Mark Twain on Travel
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” - Mark Twain

Need LA area photo weekend ideas
I want to take a weekend photo trip somewhere within say 4 hours or so of LA. Probably 1 overnight. Who wants to give me some recommendations? This shot was taken not too far away in Laguna Beach. I know there are plenty of options, but I'm trying to figure out where to go this time.
Oh, and +Scott Koehm do you want to come?

Free Wallpaper: Hobbiton from The Hobbit movie set
Now that +The Hobbit Movies are arriving, I thought it would be fun to update my free wallpaper set to include photos of the hobbit holes of Hobbiton in New Zealand, where they filmed some scenes for the movies.
Even if you don't care about hobbits, there are some other images in there from all over the world. All photos are 1600 pixels wide and ready for you to enjoy. Please share around!
On a related note, my friend & excellent photographer +Michael Matti is giving away a 12X18 print of Hobbiton. See more details here http://goo.gl/Euz2g

Lake Tahoe Snow Rocks
My previous photo was a crop of this one showing just the sky. Which one do you like better? I can't decide, so that's why I'm posting this one too. I like the snow covered rocks from the fresh snow storm the day before.

Sun & Clouds over Tahoe
Sometimes I'm better at taking a photo than naming it. At any rate, this was a spectacular day at Lake Tahoe since a storm had just passed through and the sun broke through. I love moments like these.
For some reason I like the square crop on this better than more traditional crops. What do you think?

No Longer Home
I found this abandoned house at the edge of the forest near Tillamook, OR. The overgrowth around this house was remarkable; it would have been quite a task to get to the front door. And the rusty, cobweb-laden mailbox was a perfect complement to the rest of the scene.

Cape Kiwanda Haystack
Cape Kiwanda State Park on the Oregon coast is a must-visit, especially for photography. I didn't have any good light during my visit since it was rainy and overcast, so I tried to think in black & white.

Silver Falls in the Fall
After days of rain the sun emerged mixed with fog in this incredible moment that lasted mere minutes. This is South Falls at Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. As with some of the other falls in this area, you can hike behind this falls if you don't mind getting a bit wet.
This is an HDR (probably obvious) from 3 exposures merged using +Nik Software HDR Efex Pro 2 with cleanup later in Photoshop.
