Discover my favorite photo spots of 2010.

2009’s top list was very successful. Many of my readers appreciated the short summary and keeping with this tradition, I hereby present to you my favorite places of 2010. This year was very exciting. I introduced my new iPhone application, a travel companion that makes all my articles available for offline consumption. I have traveled to many new places, collecting photographs and ideas for new location guides, and much more. I have revisited many places and I have discovered new places as well.

Wrapping up another fantastic year of photography, gives me the chance to go back to some of my favorites again.

Tule Elk Reserve and Pierce Point Ranch

2010/11/04 – 04:24

The majestic Tule Elk, a subspecies of elk native to California, living at Point Reyes now number over 400 animals, making it the largest herd in California. After becoming nearly extinct just a few decades ago, this is one of the biggest success stories of conservation.

You have a very good chance of spotting these magnificent creatures, while hiking along the windswept Tomales Point Trail, north of historic Pierce Point Ranch, a former buttery dairy. The elk are friendly and used to hikers, making them easy subjects. The Tule Elk Reserve is thus one of the best wildlife photography spots in California.

Fall in Yosemite Valley

2009/10/28 – 04:39

After a hot overcrowded summer, Yosemite Valley is showing off its colors for those of us who shun the main season and adjust travel plans by beauty rather than convenience.

Painters have an infinite variety of color at their disposal; photographers have time at theirs. Golden glowing trees reflecting in the calm waters of the Merced River, color contrast and fallen leaves in the foreground bring vibrancy to your photographs that you can only get during the fall. The summer crowds have left and nature will start its recovering process. Fall through spring is our time to enjoy the park without stepping on each other’s toes, witnessing the miracle of the changing seasons.

Discover California’s most beautiful secret canyon.

As the Sierra Nevada is getting ready for the cold season, it puts on a spectacular show.
