BILLABONG LONG SLEEVE T SHIRT

This was my first trip to these wonderful falls in Dunsmuir, CA. Within 15 minutes of arrival, I had managed to smother the inner side of my long-sleeved t-shirt with moss and mud, and the backside of my shorts with mud and water. I often get really low to the ground at places like this, at the expense of looking like a dirty wild mountain man in just a few minutes of shooting.

I had the pleasure of shooting with long time buddy mercury1994 and his friends Gary and Andy. I also had the pleasure of meeting and shooting with James Wang on this crazy day trip in Northern California. It was his guidance that led us to Mossbrae Falls before sunrise. After being the sole visitors here and having Mossbrae Falls all to ourselves for 3, yes 3, hours...it was off to Burney Falls, Manzanita Lake in Lassen Volcanic National Park, then to Redding to catch some lightning strikes over the famed Sundial Bridge that crosses the Sacramento River.

Another departure from the theatricals and a change down in gear for a relaxing hours worth of exposures with my son, an old school friend and his terrier. I clad my son in thermals, a long sleeve t-shirt, hoodie, fleece hoodie, body warmer, faux fur hat, and ski gloves. Sat him on a reclining chair with a fleece blanket. Toasty !

1hr of exposures, a dash of flash, some moonlight then stuffed in the stacker.

Couple of gaps to remove troublesome aircraft trails.
