Justa bunch of photos I've taken

I try not to edit my photos so they have been left untouched (for the most part besides resizing and basic compression).

Cameras: |Canon T3||Canon 7D MK2||Canon RP|

Lenses: |EFS 18-55mm||EF 75-300mm (do not recomend)||Tamron 70-300 f/4-5.6||RF 24-240mm|

A Cherry Tree

One of the cherry trees in my yard. Pretty barren during winter, but really fun during the summer months when it looks good, smells good and tastes good. :D

The Road

From the terminal page. Personally one of my favorite captures. If you squint close enough (yes that 2 pixel dot) you can see the fire lookout tower on top of Bald Mountain. I've personally hiked up there and it's a very neat experience!

HELICOPTERRRRRR

A Sikorsky UH-60 filling up to drop on a nearby forest fire. I feel very lucky to have gotten the chance to get this shot as it was a journey to even get to where I was. Guess it was just a "right place right time" kinda scenario.

Golden Eagle

Golden Eagles are one of the more majestic type of avians we have on the western coast. They have incredibly sharp eyesight and have been known to spot small rodents from over 2 miles away! I don't personally take favorites but Eagles of any kind definitly grab my attention.

Bald Mountain Outpost

A very rare photo of the Sierra Nevada mountains without 20 zillion forest fires and dead trees everywhere (ikr). Shots like these have been really rare since the Creek Fire during covid, most of the affected forest still hasn't fully recovered yet :/ But untouched portions still remain flourishing.

Forest Floor

I don't know what it is about places like this. They just have a different feeling that comes with them. Somewhere protected where you're completely at peace and nothing can touch you. You're the only person in the entire world, and that's just fine.

Billions of Stars

A 15 second exposure of the night sky. You can see one of the belts of our Milky Way just above the trees. The light pollution of nearby cities and a near full moon kind of dull out most of the stars which is a shame. But still a nice view of our galaxy.

Andromeda

This is what a night sky exposure is supposed to look like on a night with no moon and no visible light pollution. This photo was taken at a different time of the year hence the different orientation of the belt. You can even see the Andromeda Galaxy in the top left!
