Sailing at Sunset on Lake Almanor in Plumas County, California.
Every day during our recent camping trip to Lake Almanor, Jeff and I would head down to the lake for a sunset photo shoot. We knew there would be plenty of subjects to photograph, but each time there was something new and exciting. It happened to be sailing on this particular day.
I love to shoot action and I love to sail. However, I didn't have much experience photographing this adventure sport until now. These three amigos were a lot of fun to photograph and the weather couldn't have been better!
Do you love to sail, kayak, canoe, fish, camp, ride bikes, swim or water ski? Lake Almanor offers all of these activities and more! If you have ever been there, I'd love to hear about your adventures. 🙂
Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend everyone!

Fishing on Lake Almanor with Mount Lassen in the background, Plumas County, Northern California. This lake is well-known as a fishing hot spot!
Most people love to photograph landscapes and nature and so do I, but when possible I shoot the scene both with and without people. Including people in your photographs can increase their marketability. Quite often, images of people interacting with nature are published over images of nature alone.
Many landscape and nature photographers go out of their way to eliminate human beings from their photos. That's cool, but why not shoot a couple of extra frames which include people, while you have this great scene in front of you?
Last month, we visited Plumas County in Northeastern California. While we were there, my goal was to capture photos of Mount Lassen with and without people. While I really love
this photo of Mount Lassen and
this one, the photo featured above is more likely to get published. It illustrates people enjoying the area and what it has to offer.
On the other hand, this photo would not likely bring in any print sales. The one exception might be to the people in the boats!
What do you think? I'm all ears!!!
Thanks for visiting!

Lake Almanor, Plumas County, California
Sorry for taking so long to write again folks. But, I am having so much fun getting familiar with
Adobe PhotoShop Lightroom 2 (our new Photo Management Software), I haven't had time to write.
Back to our trip...
After we left Taylorsville, we stopped and had a tailgate picnic at beautiful and spacious
Lake Almanor. We didn't have much time there on this trip, but we will return again soon in the not too distant future.
Where did we go after leaving here? I'm going to keep you guessing for a bit. I can tell you, however, it's well worth the wait!

Photo #1- Indian Creek in Taylorsville, CA (Plumas County) shot in the morning.
Getting back to our recent road trip photo essay...
One of the great things about staying in one place for awhile is that you have more than one opportunity to photograph a subject. While we were camping along Indian Creek, I had just that kind of opportunity.
