Capturing the Storm: A Rain-Soaked Shoot on Mt. Tamalpais with Michael Lax

Last week, I had the opportunity to shoot with the incredibly talented photographer Michael Lax, known for his stunning landscape and automotive photography. Michael thrives in the elements, always chasing the perfect shot in rain, fog, and rugged terrain.

For this shoot, he was hoping for rain and Mother Nature more than delivered. On the day of our session, an atmospheric river swept through, drenching Mt. Tamalpais in heavy rainfall. Instead of retreating, we embraced the storm, capturing some truly breathtaking images that highlight the raw beauty of nature in extreme weather.

The experience was unforgettable soaked to the bone, surrounded by mist and motion, we created something special. Stay tuned for more shots from this incredible day!

Yosemite Valley - Panorama

I always find that certain places are too spectacular to capture in a single photograph. In these cases it becomes time to stitch together a panoramic photograph. This past January I was in Yosemite Valley early in the morning trying to capture some great shots. I started up at the Tunnel View but the fog was to thick for anything to be seen clearly.

I decided to drive back down into the valley and give the sun a little more time to rise. While driving through the valley the sun began to burn away the fog, making it look like the mountains where steaming. The effect was incredible and I feel this shot does a good job of capturing the morning magic!

Amazing Weekend in Yosemite

Thank you Torrey Fox @TORREYFOXPHOTOGRAPHY for the amazing photo

Just got back from a long weekend in Yosemite Valley. Had the special opportunity of being able to stay at the Ahwahnee Hotel before they change the name :(

Friday morning during the trip was really special. The morning started out foggy & cold but as the sun came up it began to burn away the fog making it look like steam was burning away on the mountains. 

I hope everyone enjoys the pictures as much as I did taking them.
