Waddell Beach to Berry Creek Falls (Part 1) - Big Basin State Park, CA

On June 27th, 2017, I did a day time round trip walk and hike (approximately 14 miles total) from Waddell Beach to Berry Creek Falls and back in Big Basin State Park in California. I got quite some photos from the super long trip. It was very tiring and I'm quite surprised I made it, but it was really fun. I will be splitting my photos into 3 parts. I also at some video from the trip in my vlog, which can be viewed here.

Took a break and some selfies on the awkward looking tree I took a photo of above. I know the lighting is a bit harsh on these 2 photos. I didn't have equipment for portraits since I was doing scenery that day. On these long wilderness trips, you just have to make the best with what you have because the less you pack, the better. I do not skip on wilderness survival equipment for safety reasons, so usually some photography equipment gets left at home.

August Cellphone Photos

If you follow me here a lot, you probably noticed I've became pretty quiet on this blog and my social media pages. That is because I have been extremely busy this past couple months with travel, photography, videos, and most of the time, with some other things I've also been working on. I haven't had much time to write blog posts or interact on my social media pages. With that said, I finally found some time to do some blogging and posting. I hope you enjoy viewing the photos.

In this blog post, I will be showing you cellphone photos from my travels in August.

Once I have the DSLR photos, drone photos, drone videos from my trips posted, I'll link the blog posts here. As you probably guessed, processing them also got pushed back from how busy I have been.
