I drove from 1am to 6am to make it up to Mammoth to reach this mountain range before sunrise. I was able to make it on this beautiful clear morning before the sunrise and ran around trying to find the perfect angle and then I came across this perfect moment of the sun just peeking over and hitting Mount Whitney.

I drove 5 hours from 1am to 6am to capture this mountain range in the morning light. I was able to get there before the sunrise and the snow on the mountains lit up for me. The sacrifice is always worth it

I drove out the the desert with some friends in the middle of a heatwave. The good part was that there wasn’t a soul out there. The bad part was 30 mph winds smacking us in the face with 115 degree heat. It was so hot that the coolant in the Jeep was boiling the whole time.

With a fire ban in the area, we needed a different nighttime activity to relax after the sun went down. Luckily, Alabama Hills has so many rocks that can be used as projector screens. Thanks to a battery-powered projector, we were able to up our ‘glamping’ game and have a movie night under the stars.

A fire and friends are all you need for a great evening, but some hot cinnamon tea and bourbon doesn’t hurt. I wanted to capture the feeling of camping out under the stars with a fire, but the vast difference in light intensity between the fire and the stars made this image impossible to create in camera. The solution is to merge two exposures, one for the fire in the foreground, and one for the stars in the sky.

We were traveling down the west coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We finally broke away from the fog and were able to see beyond 100ft in front of us so we decided to stop at the first pullover stop we saw. Much to our amazement, we were looking down on one of the most beautiful scenes we’ve ever witnessed. It was so tranquil that we actually spent about a half hour just sitting there watching in silence.

We drove trough a desert in Death Valley as we found three coyotes relaxing from their hunt. As I took the photos the coyote watched me carefully. As he stood up and walked in my directon I had to elude. The situation got even more dangerous as the other two also came in my direction. I watched them carefully and backed out to get back in the car which was about 50 ft behind me. The coyotes followed me. As we drove away the coyotes still watched us.

Since moving to the central coast of California a couple years ago, I’d heard about the wild flowers…but I just got to go see them this week. Amazing. All the rain we’ve received this 2016-17 season has produced some deep colors and much beauty.

We were roadtripping through California with a couple of friends. We stepped out of the cars and started climbing the mountains to find the perfect view. My friend didn’t notice me taking pictures. I like Lukas watching over the mountains in Death Valley. A perfect reminder of a perfect day.

We only had time for a quick detour into Death Valley National Park on our way home from the Eastern Sierras. After spending most of our trip under overcast skies and in freezing temperatures, DVNP was a shock to our systems. Even under the brightest sun, this place is all about layers and textures and color. I look forward to seeing it again.

My first stop always at Death Valley National Park, Zabriskie Point. From this beautiful and texture-rich vantage point one can admire the dramatic geological features this immense park has to offer.

Celebrating the upcoming wedding from one of my good buds, a group of us took off for the mountains. We came across lakes and streams and beautiful valleys and stark mountains as we climbed along.

One of the things that draw me back to Yosemite is the overwhelming scale of the granite walls. There are places on earth that in one moment humble your perspective and remind you of how small you really are. There is a special beauty in being among giants.

During a week long backpacking trip through the High Sierra Mountains in California, our first evening greeted us with an amazing scene of light streaming through the Minarets Pinnacles, a series of jagged rocks a part of The Ritter Range // follow my adventures on Instagram @jknepp

Attending my first Unsplash photowalk hosted by a local photographer and two Unsplash designers. It was great to meet everyone that showed up. We met at Griffith Observatory and then did a short hike towards the Hollywood sign to reach the mid-point where we were able to get great photos of both the Hollywood sign as well as the Griffith Observatory.

One of the most recognizable homes in Los Angeles, the Stahl House was etched into our memory from the renowned architectural photographer, Julius Shulman. Here is a different view showing the relation of the house to downtown.

I took a weekend camping trip to the Channel Islands and ended up kayaking through this arch. This island is one of the smaller islands, very desolate, but offering amazing features just off the south end.

Snapped this photo atop City Hall in Los Angeles. The wild colors are due to a forest fire burning in Venture – with smoke stretching down to Los Angeles and visible along the horizon. Hope everyone is staying safe!

On the set of Lucifer on Netflix, we go to a lot of locations, including churches. While in between scenes or while my actors are changing the clothes that I set in their room, I snap photos of the architecture and interesting locations. The shapes of this building were so detailed that I needed a good photo. Did I capture it?
