Landscape Photography – Nature’s scenic beauty…<\/h2><\/div>

One of the most rewarding genre of photography is landscape photography. We are blessed to live is a country with so many beautiful wonders of nature, many within driving distance. America’s national parks and California’s state parks offer many scenes of unparalleled beauty, perfectly suited for landscape photography. That being said, landscapes can be taken anywhere. The beauty in landscapes is in the eye of the beholder, in this case, the photographer and those that share the vision communicated through the photograph.

We print and frame our landscapes for purchase. Custom landscapes may also be ordered. If you are interested to have landscape commissioned, we are happy to provide an estimate. The landscape gallery is a sample of the numerous landscapes available for purchase.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Astrophotography – Capturing the vast distances of time and space…<\/h2><\/div>

Life-long passions for astronomy and photography, have led to the astrophotography genre. Time and space are captured in a single frame and frozen in time for study and admiration. The challenges of astrophotography can be extreme. Each aspect of the exposure algorithm must be taken into account. In addition, atmospheric conditions, earth’s rotation, and the movement of celestial bodies also complicates the challenge. When all factors align, the results can be absolutely amazing!

Framed astrophotography prints are available for purchase. Custom commissions may be ordered, we are happy to provide an estimate. The astrophotography gallery is a sample of work available for purchase.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
