Oceano Sand Dunes, Oceano, California / December 14, 2018 by John Lazo

Last weekend I drove to the Oceano Dunes in Pismo Beach, California during sunset. These were the first sand dunes I had ever experienced and they were truly breathtaking. It was an incredible experience!

All of the images were captured using a Canon 5D Mark IV along with a 16-35mm lens. I edited the photos using Adobe Lightroom in combination with either Nik Color Efex Pro or OnOne Photo Raw.

Woolsey Fire, Malibu, California / November 30, 2018 by John Lazo

Last week I drove to Malibu, California at sunset to photograph some of destruction of the recent Woolsey Fire in Southern California. The fire burned to the coast. I started photographing along the PCH until I stumbled upon a small community of houses where I came across several houses that got burned down. It was an incredible experience that makes you consider all the things it’s easy to take for granted.

All the photographs were taken with a Canon 7D Mark II along with a 24-70mm lens. The photos were predominantly edited using Adobe Lightroom in combination with Nik Color Efex Pro.

Montaña de Oro State Park, Los Osos, California / November 8, 2018 by John Lazo

I finally got a chance to photograph my first sunset in the San Luis Obispo area. This was one of the most spectacular sunset I’ve ever seen. Minutes before, it was a relatively cloudy evening with mediocre color. Quickly, the sky lit up with beautiful blues, pinks, and oranges. It’s a sunset I won’t forget.

A couple weeks ago, I went on a road trip to Yosemite National Park with two friends. We camped for three nights, did several hikes, watched sunrises, and captured some beautiful photographs. Below are some of my personal favorites from the trip.
