Photo of the Week 2/7/10

I spent this past weekend in Lake Tahoe, California on a ski trip with some friends. I caught this candid image of one member of the group and the son of two of the others in the morning. I particularly like the lighting in this image and the way it authentically captures a very brief moment in time. This image was made using my Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 lens at an aperture of f/2.8 and exposure of 1/16oth of a second at ISO 200.

A little over a year ago, I took a day trip out to the Salton Sea, while I was visiting San Diego, California. The strange, barren, and smelly landscape was utterly intriguing to me and I very much look forward to revisiting this location, though I hesitate to recommend it to others. The image above is one of my favorites from my trip. This image was captured with my Nikon D300 using a Nikor 17-55mm f2.8 lens at a focal length of 55mm. The exposure time was 1/80th of a second at an aperture of f7.1 and ISO of 100.

As the weather gets colder here on Long Island, I was reminded of the time I spent in San Diego, California just before Christmas last year. I made it out to Black's Beach after hearing great things about it. I was surprised to discover numerous parasailers and hangliders as there is a launch area above the beach. Before going for a quick dip in the Pacific, I snapped a few pictures including this one. I made this images at 1/400th of a second at aperture of f5.0.
