    Really enjoyed my time with Jesus and a portrait model he provided. Even though it rained on and off during our session, we all made the best of it. Jesus was very methodical about the process of taking a portrait, he made sure the model and I got a good connection and I got the pictures to show for it. Great photo lesson!

    Title or Location: My garden
    I have a small California poppy field in my back garden, which I enjoy photographing from many angles, particularly when the bees are busy gathering pollen here and there. One evening I found these two poppies in the waning sunshine against a darkened fence. They seemed to be saying goodnight to the evening sun.

    Got to Wellington point and the tide was nice and low, the sun was blazing and about to set.I walked along the sand bar to try and get the right framing with the sun in the background as the surfers jumped out of the water.The photos looked quite bland out of the camera but once processed I was able to bring out some awesome colors from the sunset.

    Horse Head Rock is not accessible at high tide, so planning for a sunset shot in this location needs to be planned well. Photo was taken during a seascapes workshop that I was leading in Australia.

    I was bored and tried to emulate the lighting from a cat photographer I follow lol. My cat actually cooperated and stayed in one location, but apparently was hungry...Shot with Canon R6 Mk II with 24-70mm. SS 1/200, Aperture f5.6 ISO 100. Flash is inline with camera and above at 45 degree angle.

    I have visited Page before, and been to upper and lower Antelope Canyon, which I much enjoyed. Wanting to see more, last year I tried Canyon X, and was not disappointed. I was able to bring a tripod, which you can no longer do in the Antelopes.
