This strip of beach divides the salty Pacific Ocean from a freshwater lake, and looks pretty damn good while doing it. This was taken near the redwood forests in Northern, California, with a DJI Mavic Pro 2 and I used a 16-stop ND/PL filter to reduce the intense glare on the water.

I can't remember the last time I saw the Pacific Ocean look so calm. This weathered and worn sea monolith is much bigger than it appears. This was captured with my drone on the Northern California coast. I love evenings at the Pacific Coast. You get these low-altitude sheets of clouds that roll in off the ocean that let the setting sun sneak through. I believe in the distance there’s another large sea monolith, which I didn’t notice until looking at this photo.

We spent our honeymoon driving the California coast. This was one of our first stops at the Lady Bird Johnson redwood park. The day started with fog, and the lighting was amazing (this was around 1:00 pm). It fell perfectly on this bridge.

The sun begins to set on the mystical Lost Coast. This was taken close to our camping spot, behind some logs such as these in the photos. The area had a mountain vista that was viewable when the fog cleared, a beach as seen in the picture, and a prairie to the right. The Lost Coast lives up to its name, and then some. One can come here to forget, relax, and enjoy being lost in the beauty that is provided by this area.

Final shot from my sea monolith series. Flying $1,500 worth of camera equipment over the ocean is certainly nerve wracking but I love that perspective you can’t get while standing on a beach. He’s one last photo of the frigid Pacific Ocean in southern Oregon.

There were plenty of people standing at view points taking shots of the sides of these big sea rocks. I was the only one who got to see it from the top down. I love that long shadow on the frigid Pacific Ocean.

We recently did a road trip down the scenic 101 along the Oregon coast and the natural beauty of this place always takes my breath away. This particular photo usually takes my brain a few seconds to process that it’s not a painting.

This is a photo i took at a northern california lake called Whiskeytown. This is one of my fav photos for its composition, color, and clarity. Hope you enjoy!

I used my heavier duty drone to fly over open ocean water and captured this beautiful image of a large sea rock at sunset. It was an unusually calm evening on the north Pacific and perfect conditions for open-water drone flights.

We caught one of the most incredible sunsets I’ve EVER taken in on this beautiful summer night. We ran quickly ran onto this bridge to catch the last glimpses of the sun as it went down. I saw Adrian leaning over the edge, staring into the beauty before him, and knew that I would fall in love with the photo. Boy, am I ever glad that I pressed the shutter when I did!

After 10 hours of driving we rounded the last bend through the dense forests on the Washington-Oregon border. Suddenly Mt. Shasta appeared in front of us in all her glory, towering above the surrounding hills. The evening light cut low through the smoky air to create soft gradients and reduce the contrast or the lower mountain and foothills.

We were looking for a new route through Oregon to Portland from California that would not involve I-5. We left I-5 at Mount Shasta and headed toward the South Klamath basin. We were looking for migrating birds (and there were thousands), but as it was late, the light made it difficult for bird photography. But then we saw Mt. Shasta.........................the light was phenomenal! This is the result. The route from Mount Shasta, to the Klamath Basin , Crater Lake, Bend and Smith Rock is well worth the extra time it takes!
