A few shots from an early morning visit to the Diablo Foothills and Castle Rock regional parks with a visit to Shell Ridge mixed in.
Woodland Sunflowers
All photographers have a bucket list of places they want to photograph. The Woodland sunflower fields is one of those places.
While the sky wasn't very exciting, I am still happy with the "hot summer" look I managed to get from a few of my images.
I used photoshop to blend multiple exposures to keep as much of the image in focus as possible.
This old oak tree is the element that makes this field super popular with photographers.
All of my images from this trip were taken with the Fujifilm X-T2, while this iPhone X image produce really outstanding color.
Smith Vineyard and Winery
I joined a very cold winter photowalk to Smith Vineyard in Grass Valley. It was nice to finally get a chance to visit this beautiful property after driving past it almost every day.
