Patrick Smith, photographer, San Francisco, California, USA
“ Я восхищался пейзажами всю мою жизнь. Вырос изучая архитектурных холмы и каньоны, они часть городского ландшафта Сан-Франциско, а затем естественным открытым пространствам к северу от Золотых Ворот в Marin Округ Калифорнии. Я пойду на все, чтобы оказаться в нужном месте, в нужное время, ради одной фотографии лучшего момента вида природы.
В настоящее время я живу в районе Сан-Франциско и путешествую вверх и вниз по побережью Калифорнии и в других местах ища природную красоту, которая вдохновляет людей защищать и сохранить наши драгоценные природные и морские ландшафты.”

A medium-length exposure shows the spin of the wheel, as riders enjoyed a magnificent sunset over the Santa Monica Pier. This was the best part of a great sunset, then I waited for the lights on the pier to become as bright as the sky in order to create Santa Monica Spin #2 about 20 minutes later. For a brief moment in between waves, the sand turned glossy, so I made sure to capture that moment with the wheel in motion, which was not very often during the best part of the sunset!
Clouds streak over the top of El Capitan as the river flows by. No HDR! In an hour or two, I'll send out my newsletter and reply to my stack of emails.

Topping out at more than 3,000 feet above the 4,000 ft elevation Valley floor, El Capitan it is the largest vertica
The clouds were moving quickly over the top of Half Dome, and the light looked good, so I put on my dark filter to make a long exposure. Over the course of 30 seconds, the clouds moved a lot and the shadows of the clouds made for some good light across the face of the cliffs. And the moving trees and reflections softened in the reflected light.
It was a misty and foggy sunrise at 2425 foot Yosemite Falls. Here, only the bottom 320 feet are visible but it is still an impressive waterfall when the volume is high, like on this morning. I got out onto some rather slippery rocks with my tripod and umbrella and managed to get this image after quite a bit of effort. The sound of the falls is thunderous!
I liked this pleasing curve in the Merced River with El Capitan looming in the distance, so I returned when there was lots of mist, showing how tall El Cap really is! A 30-second exposure smoothed out the flowing water to show how peaceful it felt on this misty afternoon. I won't mention about how I had to hang off of the edge of a burned stump for a half-hour to get this open view. It took a while to get the soot off my hands!
Bridal Veil falls in Yosemite flows year-round, but in the spring it flows at its maximum rate as the high elevation snow melts. I moved around to find an opening in the trees to show as much of the falls as possible. Also, I used a 2-second exposure to mazimumize the reflections and color in the water.
Canon Beach in Northern Oregon is an exceptionally wide, long and flat beach with a number of large rock islands and sea stacks offshore. Low tide is often the best time to see it because you can get closer to the rocks and the sand is glossy and smooth both for walking and for photography. On this morning, a small hole opened up in the clouds deck and for two short minutes, the sun illuminated this scene against a dark sky. I had already moved into a good position with the ripples pointing towards the middle stack. After that, I hoped for some nice light!
A low fog blowing through the Golden Gate spread across the bay and along the side of Angel Island as the sun set behind the camera. Unusual high clouds became lit by the last light of the already set sun. I used a 10-stop Neutral density (very dark, non-colored) filter to allow me to make a one-minute exposure in order to show how the fog moves across the bay and how the red sky reflected onto the waters of the bay.
