Vasquez Rocks: Easter Weekend 2014

I'll start with the last photo I took first. I was testing out my new camera and a Tokina lens that I ended up not using extensively. And Vasquez Rocks is a good place to try this. It's close to Los Angeles, and it's got gorgeous rock formations, so why not?

I was walking back to my car. I turned around and saw this beautiful view. I immediately unpacked my gear and took this photo, light painting the cliffs and foreground. Many times the last photo I take in an evening is the best or strangest one.

I wanted to test out my new camera and lens, so I drove up to Vasquez Rocks, about 35 minutes from my house, and experimented with higher ISOs than I usually use.

Yo estaba caminando de vuelta a mi coche. Me di la vuelta y vi a este hermoso vista. Inmediatamente me desempaquetar mi equipo y tomé esta foto, la luz de la pintura de los acantilados y de primer plano. Muchas veces la última foto que tomo en la noche es el mejor o el más extraño de todos. 

Quería probar mi nueva cámara y el objetivo, así que me condujo hasta las Rocas Vasquez, a unos 35 minutos de mi casa, y experimenté con un ISO más alto de lo que normalmente utilizo.

Easter star trails, showing the movement of the stars.

I bought a new camera and lens. I wanted to test it out, so I drove up to Vasquez Rocks, about 35 minutes from my house, and experimented with higher ISOs than I usually use. I got lucky and photographed a Lyrid meteor.

15-second exposure at f/2.8 ISO 1250 at Vasquez Rocks. Another photo where I was testing for high ISO capabilities, not so much focusing on composition as much.
