sierraspringsphotography > October 31, 2007 This barn in the field is one of my favorite places to photograph. There's also a pond and horses and ducks and a blue crane and a country road and...well, there's always something going on there...and it's on my way home. I thought this photo looked a little eerie, so I have been saving it for today. I did combine two exposures on this with my newfound Photoshop skills...one exposure was for the wonderful sky and the other was exposed for the barn and field. I would pat myself on the back but I can't quite reach...my daughter (who's birthday is today) tells me to get over myself. Heh. Nothing like a reality check.
sierraspringsphotography > June 28, 2008 The lake is so peaceful in the morning. There was no one else on the beach at 6:00 a.m. In a couple of hours this beach will be bustling with tourists and sun worshipers. The lake is still a little cool to swim in but that doesn't stop people from coming to enjoy Lake Tahoe.
sierraspringsphotography > June 30, 2008 I dragged myself out of bed around 5:00 this morning and headed over to Emerald Bay on the southwest shore of Lake Tahoe. There were no cars on the road, so it was a beautiful drive. As I drove up to the bay, there were already about 3-4 photographers with their hats on backwards, Nikon/Canon cameras perched on tripods pointed at the coming sunrise. I hopped out of the car and rushed to a spot I was familiar with...unfortunately a photographer had already staked out the area. So, I walked over to the other side of these falls and set up camp (I had no hat to put on backwards.) On my way back to the car, after the sun had risen, I saw this and thought it might make a good photo. It was a beautiful and productive morning.
sierraspringsphotography > April 6. 2008 Our camera club was allowed to photograph the old and deteriorating Preston Castle in Ione, CA. It was originally built in 1864 as a home for wayward boys...otherwise known as a juvenile detention center...until 1960, when the state abandoned the building for new quarters for the boys. Now, the Preston Castle foundation is trying to raise money to bring the castle back to it's former glory. Our camera club had the place to ourselves and it was a photographer's dream with the ambient light streaming through dusty windows and everything in the place rusting, rotting and falling apart. What fun! UPDATE: For some reason my security settings changed overnight and I cannot make comments on anyone's photos...not even mine. So, I'll add the following: I have some more photos of the place in my El Dorado Camera Club gallery. Prior to this place being built, these boys (some of them as young as 7) were held at either San Quentin or Folsom prison. Much worse places. During it's heyday, this place taught the boys a trade so that when they were released they would have a job skill. The castle was also minimum security and it was a beautiful building. They had many amenities that the town boys didn't have available to them. Merle Haggard apparently spent some time behind these walls.
sierraspringsphotography > June 21, 2008 Ah, summer. Darling daughter and fabulous niece came up to Tahoe with my brother and me for a couple of days. They are six months apart in age and as close as sisters. They are also both very goofy and love to ham it up for the camera.
sierraspringsphotography > march 19, 2008 Yesterday, my youngest son and I went down to Sacramento to the IMAX theater to see "I am Legend", which is one of the scariest movies I have seen...especially on that huge screen. But, aside from the scare factor, I really liked the message. Since we were right down town next to the capitol and the convention center, we walked around a little looking for photo ops and Arnold. Didn't see Arnold, but I did get a few shots in...this being one of them. PS. There is no truth to the rumor that my son and I screamed like little girls during the movie.
sierraspringsphotography > June 13, 2008 As I am S L O W L Y post processing my photos from the wedding, I've come across a couple that I like...more from a photographer's point of view, then one that would sell. This little flower girl was quietly getting ready for the wedding, while everyone around her was busy getting the bride ready. She seemed like a quiet oasis in the midst of high anxiety.
sierraspringsphotography > February 19,2008 What's for dinner? Although my children are either in their teens or early 20's, sometimes they still act like children. While I was minding my own business and cooking dinner last night, I looked down and saw this. He said he was practicing to be a spy.
sierraspringsphotography > November 15, 2007 I took this photo earlier this week after the weekends rains. This is the view I have out my window to the back yard. It's not my view from my backyard...it is my backyard. I think it is lovely, but whenever I show a photo like this to my husband, he sees no beauty in it. He usually just sighs and walks out to the shed to get the rake and the chainsaw. Poor guy...he has no appreciation for art. (heh.)
