Going through an older set of images I came across this photo of Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite National Park. This was taken from the tunnel lookout off Highway 41 as you enter Yosemite valley just as a hint of sun made its way through the clouds of a disintegrating storm. Usually I’m never short of words when it comes to photographs, but I can’t really say why I like this. Perhaps its the lighting and mute

While visiting Switzerland last Fall I was happy to have arrived in Interlaken during peak Fall color. The forests of Switzerland combined with the majestic snow covered mountains were a sight to see. Fortunately for me and perhaps you, my camera was never far from reach. Thanks to nature’s wide variety of Fall color even the most common activities, such as a train crossing a bridge, was transformed into someth

One of the many things I love about wildlife photography is finding an animal to photograph that is so interesting it’s hard to take your eye off of them. One of such creature that I photographed during my recent trip to Costa Rica was the Vine Snake (Oxybelis fulgidus). The intensity of green color in this snakes scales is like nothing I’ve seen before. Not necessarily evident in this photo is that the s

There was a lot of curiosity as to what my new camera would be and it kept a lot of folks guessing as seen in my Reader Contest post Guess My New Camera, Win A Print. No one guessed the exact model (Sony HXR-MC1), but a few did guess I had my eye on a video camera. The one subtle… well not so subtle hint was the domain of my store/gallery site http://www.jmg-stock-photo-video.com. So why the Sony HXR-MC1? The S

If you got up extra early this Monday morning I bet you someone else got up earlier. This photo is dedicated to everyone waking up before dawn to make everyone’s “normal” morning possible. When I took this photo of early morning commuters boarding a very iconic San Francisco cable car at sunrise, I started to think about how early the cable car operator must have woke up to make these folks commute

If you’re ever in Costa Rica I highly recommend visiting the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. The highland jungle is often shrouded in clouds and the habitat, landscape and wildlife are incredible. One of the big attractions in this area is the Selvatura Park Zip Line. Their zip line canopy tour provides a means to see the jungle like no other. The 16 or so zip lines travel through and over the jungle canopy. I

While in Costa Rica I had the pleasure of visiting Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula to see pristine Rainforest and a wide variety of wildlife. One of the highlights was being able to watch and photograph a Brown-throated three-toed sloth (Bradypus variegatus) and her baby feasting on leafs. Sloths as I found out move faster than you might think and while they’re not the cutest of animals they certai
