Summertime at Donner Lake

I visited Donner Lake with my parents in the summertime and enjoyed the calm, peaceful views. I capture some beautiful cloud formations as I learn to be patient to wait for the best light and share thoughts about how I composed my photos.

Geminid Meteor Shower at Alabama Hills

I visited Alabama Hills with my family to photograph the Geminid Meteor Shower. Although the winter storm covered the sky during the peak of the meteor shower, I was able to go out a couple nights before. And seeing the meteor shower against the backdrop of these mountains was amazing.

Fog at Mt Tamalpais

My family visited Mt Tamalpais for sunrise and sunset on a foggy summer weekend in July. While the fog often makes San Francisco feel gloomy, being above the fog evokes a dreamier feeling which I try to convey through my photos.
