Google's top 10 most searched photogenic spots in the US in 2022 - some might surprise you!

Eileen Tan/Dreamstime.com Google recently released its list of its most popular searches during 2022, and when it comes to scenic spots in the United States there are some surprises. For starters, “scenic spots” in Google’s definition does not include iconic places like Vermont’s Technicolor White Mountains in fall or the yawning Grand Canyon in Arizona (and by the waym more about canyons later). Instead, Google users were primarily interested in where to see and photograph some of Mother…

A blissful moment with humpback whales in Bora Bora

Work being slower than in prior years - fewer weddings, couple's shooting, and visitors in general - has allowed us to work on our underwater photography. Taking photos of marine life is something I love doing, grateful to always have my wonderful vahine at my side. Animal photography takes patience and a good amount of luck in having the perfect situation, unlike a wedding or couple's photo shoot, we cannot create the scene or situation for the perfect shot. We love photographing sharks, over…

Underwater photography in Bora Bora

To unleash aquatic photography, I use Canon + a Nauticam housing. I got my first dive certification at age 14, at 18 I had acquired a Nikkonos V with a 35mm! That was my first UW rig, today and after having tried many underwater housings, Nauticam is what I consider to be the best brand. We are proud to have sold a few prints to several magazines and also have a few available (at a reasonable cost) on our gallery! I use a Canon DSLR, a Nauticam housing with Inon strobes, several LED lights &…

If you have an interest in travel photography, see my "18 Tips for Shooting from a Train" article. Just follow the link to my blog which has a short, one minute video introducing El Chepe train in Copper Canyon, Mexico, as well as a link to the full article.

Interesting news for photogs:

Online book publishing service Blurb today launched a new way to publish collections of photos - as an eBook for the iPad. The new eBooks come in templated or custom two-page layouts, which readers can swipe through, search the text of and zoom into full resolution images.

Publishers pay $1.99 per book and get to keep 100% of the profit beyond that cost. Paper books from Blurb start at $10 each to print on demand. Two buck easy-to-make eBook publishing on demand sounds awesome.

Thanks, Sam. Those rams are a part of an outdoor art park. A big landowner in the area commissioned a sculptor to make them. There are dozens scattered around the area, reached by dirt roads.

I'm not aware of any Civil War actions here but we do have our share of re-enactors here.
Sam Scribe October 12, 2011 at 5:43pm

Wonderful photos, Darryl. That image of the rams should be entered in photography contests.

Was there Civil War action here in California?

The number of times I've lugged a tripod along, and not used it are almost balanced by the number of times I've wished I'd brought along a tripod, and had to find a rock or something to steady the camera.

Now, whether I take a tripod or not, I usually have one of those little 'table top' tripods in my camera bag, just in case!

I certainly need a tripod for long exposures such as this.

One of my favorite photo effects is water motion blur.

This is not possible without a tripod, especially when using 20 or 30 second exposures.
