Jeff & Cocoa camping at Buckeye Campground, near Bridgeport, Eastern Sierra, California.
YIPPEE. Tomorrow morning, we are heading down the highway...395 that is. We are taking the slow route to Bakersfield, for a Big Bash with Jeff's high school classmates, plus an early Thanksgiving celebration with his Mom.
We will be in and out of cell range, but we will connect whenever possible. We will be shooting for our stock files and fine art in route, dipping in a few hot springs and whatever else that inspires us.
I also wanted to share our new products with you. You can find them over here on our
New Product Info/Discount Coupons page. If you have any questions, just
contact us via email or phone and we will get back to you when we come out of the woods!
Cheers,
Sherri

Foggy Morning Over the American River Canyon, Auburn, California.
This is my town. My wonderful town of Auburn, California. This scene is only a couple of miles from my house and occurs every winter. After years of dreaming about photographing it, I finally got over there and did it!
I just submitted this image on
Google+ for the My Town Tuesday theme. If you are not on Google+ yet and you would like to be, you can sign up by clicking on the link above, then click on "sign in" in the upper right hand corner of the page.
There are a lot of great things about Google+. To sum it up in a few words...it is like Facebook & Twitter combined. Something else that really appeals to me is there is no advertising...at least not yet! 🙂
Enjoy your day,
~Sherri

Outdoor Lifestyles.
I will be adding many more images here and to our
main Photography Website in the coming weeks! Be sure to check back often!
C ya,

Man fishing at Sugar Pine Reservoir, Foresthill, California.
I have always loved that quote! This is one of the photos from my photo shoot at
Sugar Pine Reservoir last weekend. The day all lined up so well, once we got up there and found a quiet spot to call our own for the afternoon.
The few little black spots in the image (if you look really close) are actually bugs. I started cloning them out in Photoshop at first. After removing a few of them, I decided they could stay...for now anyway. When I get ready to upload it to our
Photography Website, I will think again.
Thoughts anyone? Would you remove the bugs, or leave it "Au Natural?"
Workshops comin' up soon:
"Abstract Photo Workshop" - September 25 - The deadline for registering for this Workshop is this Sunday 9/11.
Old Town Auburn/American River Photo Tour & Workshop - October 2 - Register by 9/18.

Sunrise on Gold Lake, Lakes Basin Area of Northern California.
During our recent adventure to the Lakes Basin area, we didn't have very exciting skies for the most part. This photo of Gold Lake was captured during a lucky moment. I believe it was the only morning out of 4 with a sky like this!
See
this photo of Gold Lake, which was taken during our trip last September, where we had unbelievable skies most of the time we were there.
You can follow our adventures over on my
Facebook Photography Page, where I will be sharing many more photos from our recent trip to the Lakes Basin Area. Coming soon to the album will be photos of our climb to the top of the Sierra Buttes Lookout!
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to put them in the comments section below. Also, if you would be interested in a photo tour to the Sierra Buttes later this summer or early fall, please send us an email to: sherri@sherrimeyer.com.
Cheers,

Young man fishing at Lake Almanor, Northern California.
We are gearing up for a mini road trip. I don't think we will get back to
Lake Almanor on this trip, but we sure did enjoy it last summer. It's like a mini Lake Tahoe!
This image is from last summer. I worked with it in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, until I could feel "emotion."
Does it work for you? I love getting your comments and questions!
Enjoy your Monday!

Woman mountain biking on the Stagecoach Trail in Auburn, California the "Endurance Capital of the World."
If you are into shooting action as I am, Auburn is a great place to do it. They don't call us the "Endurance Capital of the World" for nothing. People travel from all over the world to participate in several annual events held here each year, as we have some of the best multi-use trails in the country. Auburn is no longer just a stopping off point in route to Lake Tahoe and Reno. It is becoming a travel destination in it's own right!
I was on the hunt for mountain bikers the day I shot this photo, while hiking on the Stagecoach Trail. As a local, I know where the hot spots are for action. I was standing on top of a picnic table near the trails edge, ready for my first victim to come flying down the hill. I don't think she ever saw me, she was going so fast!
Because I was so close to the trail, I had to use my 28-7o mm zoom lens; not the 80-200 mm zoom lens I normally use for
panning photographs. Back then, I was shooting with the Nikon D70, so the lowest ISO I could use was 200. My shutter speed was set at 1/30 sec. and my aperture was f 16.
Panning is one of the techniques I use a lot when shooting action. If you would like to learn how to shoot action and adventure, I will be leading a
Action & Adventure Photo Workshop nearby on May 1st. I'd love to have you join me. For information and to register, please click on the previous link.
SPECIAL - You can also organize your own group of 5-8 and one person gets to attend for
FREE!
Comments or questions are always welcome!
Cheers,

Woman running with her dogs across the famous and historical "No Hands Bridge" in Auburn, California the "Endurance Capital of the World!"
Wow, this threw me for a loop! This image was just licensed for 100,000! It will be used to promote the upcoming "Western States 100 Endurance Run," which starts in Lake Tahoe and finishes here in Auburn.
This is by far the most money I have ever been paid for the use of a single image!
Just had to share the BIG news! 🙂
Have a great weekend!

Old Town Auburn, California all dressed up for the holidays!
As we approach Christmas, I wanted to share a
photo I captured of Old Town Auburn last year, just after a low snowfall.
If you have never been to Old Town Auburn before, you should check it out, especially during the holiday season. There are a lot of really neat shops and the town is always decked out for the holidays!
I'm planning a trip to Old Town soon, to capture a few 2010 holiday photos to add to my collection. Maybe, we will see you there!
Keep warm & cozy, enjoy your holiday season and don't eat too many treats! 😉
