This was the last time of this event as the land, local politics & the money, has sealed its fate. This was my 4th time as credentialed media with a great group of talented photographers. As some of you may know, the event ended in tradgedy on the second to last race of the event. On the cool...

While at the Reno air races, waiting for the next race-heat, the sky began to show some personality. Two takes, B&W & color

I've been eyeing the mountains/foothills to the east for cloud layers, especially over Mt. Hamilton. I should keep the camera in the car rather than running home for it! From a couple of days ago when the skies had layers of clouds.

Fields of wildflowers and basalt

From a recent trip. I always like to take a shot or two on film. While the reflection is not a mirror, I think it can be a counterpoise to the direct view. More abstract?

Runoff from Cascade Falls Reflections in the meadow, near Swinging Bridge Yosemite Falls, across the valley Bridal Veil Falls, across the river Nemeless ephemeral falls Mirror Image across the meadow

I'm saving the waterfall images for Wednesdays. 🤣 With the haze from controlled burns & the flooding, had to improvise.

Table Mountain wildfowers I saw this group of poppies with a "spray" of white flowers & thought it qualified as a bouguet

From my kitchen pass trip. While the trail to the falls remains closed, the water flow can still reach you. The thundering falls generated copious clouds of mist that were illuminated by the sun's beacon over the ridge. Had to coax some detail out of falls

From a turnout 1/4 mile beyond Tunnel View Had some excellent clouds that day

This scene summarizes Table Mountain. Wildflowers up top & the falls. The only thing missing is a rainbow at the bottom. That would have been later in the afternoon.

OK, it's not quite a natural landscape. After hearing about that resevoir's upgrade to the spillway, I had to see it. These are from the perimiter road. I framed the 1st two to give it a more "natural" feel

While the Carrizo Plain has more acreage, this was a lot closer & much smaller crowds.

Visited Table Mountain, near Oroville, CA. Was hoping for more flow from Phantom Falls, but it had a nice surprise.

I posted the digital shot earlier. This was taken about 2 hours later on Portra 400 with my plastic 4x5 (shown), which only weighs 2 1/2 Ib with a film holder. This is probably twice what the light meter weighs 🤔 This makes it easy to shoot some film if I feel like it w/o a heavy backpack...

After seeing Josh's recent posts of Golden Gate & "the City" which are amazing, I remembered a series of shots I took throughout a day over decade ago. Baker Beach Strong Towers A path to the other side. A beacon through the fog.

Took several shots intentially for B&W based on content
