Here's a simple single-shot exposure taken with my iPhone 5 this morning. I used my Nikon D800 for most of the shots but grab this one in between. I edited this using Snapseed on the iPhone.
Photo of the Day: Sunrise over Lake Wakatipu
This is the first sunrise I got to witness in New Zealand. It happened while on my photo adventure with Trey. As I began to look at the 3,500 photos I took in Kiwi land I noticed something interesting, a marked improvement of my skills over the long week. Initially I shot this with HDR in mind but I ended up processing just a single RAW file because it just felt right. I'm learning to better trust my instincts.

Photo of the Day: A Hike Up Mission Peak
I had a rare weekend day off and my wife and I decided to hike up Mission Peak in Fremont California. We got up at 5:30 in the morning to get to the peak by sunrise. It was a 2.5 mile hike straight up.
There weren't too many great shots because the sunrise happened from behind. But I managed to get pretty low to the ground for this shot. Not bad. It was a series of five exposures on my Sony NEX-7.
