Viva Las Vegas


This is a one shot HDR panoramic image of the Bellagio Hotel & Casino and the   lake in Las Vegas Nevada. 

Everything was perfect on this night, the clouds were coming in for a rain storm that happened the following day, but on this night the clouds provided a very nice backdrop and the weather was fantastic for a December night.

Stanford Memorial Church


This is a 7 shot HDR image of the church at Stanford, this was taken on a photo walk with Trey Ratcliff from StuckInCustoms.com

We decided to go on the photo walk hosted by Trey Ratcliff, there was a lot of people there, so many in fact that it is in the running for the largest photo walk ever. Eventually we decided to break off from the group since so many people were around it was hard to get a nice shot. The clouds were very nice on this night so we stopped by the church to get this photo.

Ferry Building


Here is a 3 shot HDR image of the inside of the San Francisco Ferry Building.

We were here one night for some dinner and we ended up being out past closing time, but they keep he doors open for awhile so we were able to grab this shot. The Ferry Building has a lot of nice restaurants, and produce. If you ever here be sure to check it out.

The Tower Of Terror


This is a 7 exposure HDR image of the Hollywood Tower of Terror and the Disneyland California Adventure Park.

Here is another version of the ride that we took this time in color. Again this was a difficult shot, because for some reason the camera on the tripod attracted people to walk towards it. Yes people do have to get around but they specifically walked towards the camera, go figure. Oh well we were still able to pull of a nice shot.

Partners...


This is a 7 shot HDR image of the Partners Statue at Disneyland.

This is a popular photo location inside Disneyland, just beyond Main Street. The statue is very creative, the creator Walt Disney, holding hands with his creation Mickey Mouse who built an empire together.

Wheel In The Sky


This is a 3 shot HDR image of the Santa Monica Pier.

This is really a nice area, the pier has rides and restaurants and the weather in the summertime is great to get away from the heat of the LA area. This was a perfect night for shooting as well, a not too cold evening with clear conditions. If you area ever in the area check this spot out.

Cannery Row


Well sort of, this is a 3 shot HDR image of a Cannery Row replica at Disneyland's California Adventure Park.

The whole park has different themes of California with replicas of different landmarks, this one can be found over in the food area. Some people might say the park is a little redundant being that it is in California, and some of these landmarks are only a few hour drive away, but we like it. This park also has for the most part the better rides of the two parks as well.

Come Stay With Us...


This is a 7 shot HDR, converted to B&W and then textures were added of the Twilight Tower of Terror at the California Adventure Park, in the Disneyland Resort.

We really wanted to get the theme of the ride, which was this is a 1930's Hollywood Hotel so we went for the old time look with the textures and B&W. This is such a fun ride, one of our favorites, couple interesting facts. First is the ride is randomized each time up, so the pattern of rise and falling is never the same. Second you are not dropped in the elevator, but instead pulled, which creates a bit of levitation, so cool. If you are here go on this ride!!!

In The Navy...


This is a 3 shot HDR of the USS Midway, a retired aircraft carrier in San Diego, California.

Really a neat thing you can do in San Diego, this is a museum and you can go through and tour the ship from top to bottom. You even get to climb up into the aircraft control tower, and see what it was like to command planes, how cool is that. If your ever in San Diego be sure and check this out.

When You Wish Upon A Star


This is a 3 shot HDR image of Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland.

This was shot from a little side area nobody seems to know about. While we were there shooting for about 20 minutes or so we only saw about 5 people walk by, which is a little surprising for Disneyland at this time of year. All the better to capture a nice scene like this and not be interrupted. The combination of a secluded spot, and proper settings on the camera made it fairly easy to capture this famous Disney landmark with no people in the shot.
