Lakeside, Oregon, Redwood National Park, & Pacific Coast / September 9, 2020 by John Lazo

During the second half of August, my sister and I took a two week road trip. We traveled to Lakeside, Oregon to stay with a family friend for a week. Then we headed down the Pacific Coast and camped in the Redwoods for four nights before traveling down the PCH towards Southern California.

Khola, Newbury Park, California / June 16, 2020 by John Lazo

Over the course of the lockdown due to COVID-19, I started on a small photography project. I photographed my dog, Khola over the course of several different evenings. I challenged myself to use a variety of lenses including a 50mm prime lens, a 16-35mm wide angle lens, a 24-70mm lens, a 100mm macro lens, and finally a 70-200mm telephoto lens. I compiled the best images from the different evenings. Check them out!

Over the three-day weekend for Martin Luther King Jr. Day a friend and I spent a few days exploring Big Sur, California. It was a bit cold, but incredibly fun nonetheless.

Lakeside, Oregon & California Coast / October 13, 2019 by John Lazo

At the end of August, my sister and I took a road trip to spend a week in Lakeside, Oregon with a family friend. We decided to drive home along the PCH, camping along the Navarro River in Northern California for one night and camping south of Big Sur, California for the next. I absolutely loved the scenery along the way as we traversed down the Pacific Coast.

Montaña de Oro State Park, Los Osos, California / June 23, 2019 by John Lazo

I photographed a sunset a few weeks ago at Montaña de Oro State Park along California’s central coast. It was my last sunset before I headed home from college for the summer. It ended up being a real pretty sunset to finish off the year.

San Simeon, California / May 16, 2019 by John Lazo

Last Sunday I drove up to San Simeon, California for sunset and stopped at a pullout along the PCH a little south of Hearst Castle. I was excited to get a colorful sunset since the last four or five times I’d gone out to photograph had been incredibly overcast.

Anyway, here’s a few of my favorite images from the evening. They were all made using a Canon 5D Mark IV and a 16-35mm lens. I used Adobe Lightroom and either Nik Color Efex Pro or OnOne Photo Raw to edit them.

Morro Rock, Morro Bay, California / April 6, 2019 by John Lazo

On Tuesday evening, I met a friend at Morro Rock in Morro Bay, California and we photographed the sunset. It was a bit cloudy, but we still got some nice color as well as some unique clouds.

All the images were created using a Canon 5D Mark IV along with a 16-35mm lens. They were edited in Adobe Lightroom and then processed with either Nik Color Efex Pro or OnOne Photo Raw.

San Francisco, California / January 31, 2019 by John Lazo

During the course of the three-day weekend for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I went to San Francisco, California with two friends. We photographed the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown San Francisco, and the East side of San Francisco. It was an awesome experience!
