17 Sep 2025 Themes Still Life, Flash, Storytelling: Gary

Gary recently returned from a Highway 395 solo excursion with his kayak and shared some wonderful images from his trip. Although he photographed the Sept 7th moonrise under the Coronado Bridge, he preferred his great images of moonset over the Eastern Sierras from Lone Pine. Photographing the moon setting at sunrise is a recent alternative of shooting the moon that we are exploring. A balanced exposure is less challenging when photographing the moon setting at sunrise. Plus it’s westward so it opens up a whole new set of foreground elements, like Mt Whitney. Other images from his trip are always historical, educational and fascinating. He also shared a flash photo taken on film where he had some help illuminating a ship with a flash during a long exposure aka ‘flash painting’.

18 Jun 2025 Themes San Diego Fair, Open: Gary

Gary shared some photos from his recent road trip to Bodie and Yosemite. He also participated in the SD Fair meetup and was so inspired, went back to take more images. He caught some great images of people’s reaction to the rides. Bodie images definitely benefit from being presented as black&white. He also has a rare (in recent years) panoramic image taken from Glacier Point in Yosemite. This road has been closed for quite awhile. He used his iPhone to pan the scenic horizon.
