I have always thought that tree lined streets are perfect for photography, but palm trees make them even better. With a simple, one lane road lined with palm trees, It perfectly shows the California lifestyle.

This photo was taken from the iconic viewpoint, Glacier Point in Yosemite. During a full moon the entire landscape was lit up, and I could see millions of stars. I shot Half Dome at the bottom of the frame with the stars and sky taking up a majority of the photo.

For this week's photo challenge, I was supposed to take a photo with the subject center framed. During the holiday break, I went to Florida to visit family and got to see many holiday lights. I like this photo because of the unique colors from all the Christmas lights.

I think this photo really qualifies for being balanced. The rocks of the Southern California coastline are being washed over by the cold Pacific Ocean waves with a bursting sunset over the ocean. I really like this shot because of how many tries it took to get a good long exposure of the waves, and how wet I got to get the photo.

For this week's photo challenge we were told to take a photo of leading lines. Fortunately for me, I went to Yosemite this weekend and was able to take this great photo of the Merced river flowing down the valley.

For this week's photo challenge, I took photos of this path on a hike. I liked the leading line it created and how it split the woods in half. It also added good symmetry to the photo.

For the rule of thirds, I took a photo of my computer with earbuds coming towards the camera like branches on a tree. For the motion component, I chose sounds or music and had the earbuds be in focus to emphasize how music or sounds can move people and make people feel good.
