Muir Woods National Monument - Mill Valley, CA (9-3-2015)

On 9-3-2015 I took a walk and hike through Muir Woods National Monument in Mill Valley, CA. This park is famous for its Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) trees. I took many forest scenery photos along with a few chipmunk photos. In this blog post, I will show you the photos I took in the park.

 It has been years since I posted a photo of myself on here. So here is me dressed in pink! Sunny, the photographer behind this blog! Of course I had to get photos of myself in the woods. :) Photo shot with a Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT and a wireless remote shutter release.

At the end of my trip, I decided to get some chipmunk photos after I saw a few running around.

Monochrome Process - Yosemite National Park 2012/2013

I have only recently started going into monochrome (black and white) photo processing. I have went back and redone some of my old photos into monochrome (black and white) photos. Here today, I have photos from my 2012 and 2013 trip to Yosemite National Park. You can see those original photos from 2012 here and photos from the 2013 trip here.

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing. If you are interested, choose one of the links below:
Message from the Photographer: My new portfolio is almost done! I have gotten the photos all uploaded and is now sorting and labeling everything. What changes will this have on you? Well, you will be able to view all of my photos at full resolution instead of a very low resolution Google allows. Also you will be able to buy prints and check out my other works more easily. I hope you enjoy viewing these changes. :) Won't pressure you into buying anything you don't want. I started my portfolio to try to get my work out there and try to offset some of the costs of college and photography, however my main goal is a better viewing experience for all of my viewers, so I hope you enjoy.

I will first start off with my 2012 photos. This photo is of Half Dome from Glacier Point.  

A chipmunk eating flowers that I spotted near Glacier Point.  

 Two more photos of the chipmunk. 

The last 2 photos are from my 2013 trip. It is of a Female Brewer's Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus). 

These are all the photos for today. I hope you have enjoyed viewing them.  Please don't forget to share the blog post with your friends and family members!

Squirrels

Today I want to show you some of the best squirrel shots I have shot throughout my photography. I can't get enough of squirrels! They are so cute and hard to resist. Also, I am running low on photos to show you guys which is why I'm posting filler blog posts like this. LOL My road trip photos from the SF Bay Area to Vancouver, BC, Canada are not actually done yet, but I am working hard to finish them. I hope you enjoy viewing these repeat photos!

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing. To see my best squirrel photos, use this link.

Please don't spit your gum on the floor! They are bad for wildlife. This photo is of a squirrel eating gum off the floor in Zion National Park located in Utah, USA. 
The blog post where this photo was first posted is here.

Ironically I tell you not to spit your gum on the floor, but here is me feeding a squirrel a cracker in Fremont Central Park in Fremont, CA. LOL While you are not supposed to feed the wildlife, everyone does it at Fremont Central Park so... Some of these squirrels are so tame, I actually got to pet one before.

It's a boy! One of my best squirrel photos ever also shot on Arroyo Del Valle Trail in Pleasanton, CA.

 Same squirrel as the one above, he started begging me for food (literally) so I gave it a small piece of Japanese cracker. So cute!

Still the same squirrel as the one above. Interestingly, after it finished the Japanese cracker, the squirrel spat out an almond and started eating it. Little critter had food all along. LOL

A squirrel peeking out from its burrow in Yosemite Village in Yosemite National Park. I saw this squirrel scramble back into its burrow, so I decided to wait with my camera pointed at the entrance. Sure enough, 1 minute later, my work paid off and this little critter decided to take a peek outside.

Glacier Point/Mono Meadows/Wildlife - Yosemite National Park/Mono Lake (Part 8)

Yosemite National Park is a national park located in California that stretches eastern portions of Tuolumne, Mariposa and Madera counties in the central eastern portion of California and covers around 761,268 acres or 3,080.74 km² of land. Yosemite National Park is best known for its waterfalls, deep valleys, grand meadows, giant sequoias, giant wilderness area, and much more. Mono Lake, a salt lake east of Yosemite National Park that is located in Mono County, California, covers a total of 45,133 acres or 182.65 km². The lake is famous for its high salt content and its tufa formations. I have visited both of those areas and are here to show you some of the photos I took at these two places along with some other photos I have taken along the route. These photos will be divided over several blog posts. I hope you enjoy viewing these photos! If you would like to get notifications when I do post, you can Like/Follow me on the following fan pages: Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Let's introduce you to the photos for today. These are the last of the regular shots I did at Yosemite National Park. After this, I will have some HDR compositions and panoramas I did there. For today's photos, I have the rest of the photos from Glacier Point, then some photos from a partial hike down to Mono Meadows, and then ending with some sunset photos I took on the way home. I hope you enjoy viewing these photos!

Most of the photos for today are of wildlife. Here is a chipmunk on top at Glacier Point.  

 A cute squirrel at Glacier Point.

Yummy! Flower! 

 Cute aren't they?

One of my best shots from the trip. The chipmunks are so cute!!! ^_^  

A raven standing on top of a building at Glacier Point.  

 On the way down from Glacier Point, saw a deer. Decided to take some shots. 

Here is another deer shot.  

So on the way up to Glacier Point, I saw a turnout that said Mono Meadows. I decided to take a short hike once I came back down the mountain. This was just one of the many trails that lead into the Yosemite wilderness. I only hiked partially down and then went back up again. So not so far down, I saw a male mule deer. Lucky for me, I am quick with the camera and was able to get 2 blur free shots. HAHA But I had to kick the ISO pretty high as it was fairly dark already. 

 Here is another shot of the deer. Pretty good camera work right? I think if you do a little bit of hiking into the Yosemite wilderness, you can see more wildlife as I think these wildlife don't like human contact. All the deer photos in this blog post are of the mule deer. 

Landscape shots of the trees on the trail. If you do do some hiking into the Yosemite wilderness, just make sure you don't go too far, and bring adequate water. It is good to bring a cellphone too just in case you get lost (very easy in the wilderness). If you do decide to take a long hike, bring ribbons so you can mark your trail. Also a reminder, there is no overnight camping unless you get a permit from park officials.

A sunset shot on the way home. Not sure where this is. 

These are the last of the normal shots from Yosemite National Park! Check back soon for my HDR compositions and panoramas I did in the park! Hope you have enjoyed viewing these photos.
