    Thanks for visiting a small selection of my favorite landscape photographs. I share a passion for chasing waterfalls, moons and suns among my Nature Photographs. I shoot in a number of San Francisco Bay Area locations including Yosemite. Attempting to capture the light to create the moment when I was there is what I hope to accomplish. Please drop me an email or leave a comment below. Thanks for stopping in!

    jharrison > “Nature’s Firefall” is a rare photograph of Horsetail Falls in Yosemite at Sunset in winter. This is nature’s version of the old man-made Yosemite Fire Fall.During the winter in Yosemite, coming off of El Capitan, there is an almost non-existent waterfall called “Horsetail Falls.” Many maps don’t even have it marked. During the last two weeks in February, IF there is water trickling over the edge, and IF it is clear at sunset (which doesn’t happen too often due to the winter storms) the setting sun will turn this waterfall into a stream of molten fire. The waterfall lights up like molten lava due to the angle of the sun. Inspired by Galen Rowell, many photographers have chased this elusive photo opportunity. John spent two evenings in a foot of snow in the middle of meadow trying to get the shot. The first evening was an absolute bust as it had been clear all day and at sunset the clouds hung over the peak. Luckily he captured his photograph titled “Full Moon over Half Dome”. The next evening everything worked out for this stunning shot. I am debuting this week my latest images from my award winning trip to Yosemite. My Yosemite can be seen here. Let me know which ones you like! Thanks, John

    jharrison > Fullmoon over Half Dome. Yosemite in Winter. This was my 'consolation' shot while trying to capture my "Nature's Firefalls" rare image of Horsetail falls at sunset. I wish that I could say that I had fully researched this shot and was ready for it. Instead, I was coming back from another failed attempt to capture my Nature's Firefalls image. When I came around the corner, the moon was sitting there!! I stopped my car, setup my tripod in the middle of the road (please don't tell the park rangers I did that as it isn't a good idea!) I captured 4 shots before the moon and Half Dome were totally obscured by the clouds! I was pretty lucky to capture this - but that is part of photography.

    jharrison > "Rays Through Redwoods" was captured earlier this year in Butano State Park near Pescadero, California. It was NOT the magic hour - quite the opposite! I captured this at 2 in the afternoon but with the fog beginning to lift, I noticed the sun streaming through the Redwoods creating those "God Beams" I love to chase! I found this little stream with the redwood bark laying around. I captured this with multiple exposures that I blended together. As with all my favorite images, this is the place I want to be on a Friday afternoon.

    jharrison > "Sunrise over Cooks Meadow" We were shooting in Cook's Meadow and the trees were just beautiful in the cold morning sky. I was looking around just trying to get this complex scene together. I saw trees towering above me, but then off in the distant were those green pines. The sun had just come up past the mountains and I captured this starburst through the trees. Yosemite National Park, Aperture Nature Photography Workshop Contest Trip. This image is available as a canvas giclée gallery wrap in sizes 16"x24", 20"x30", 28"x42" and 38"x58" More images from this Gallery can be seen here: http://www.jharrisonphoto.com/gallery/7554507_MVWMR

    jharrison > The “Lone Surfer at Natural Bridges” was captured on a winter day at Sunset. The waves were strong, and the sunset was beautiful. There was one surfer that I caught dreaming about hitting the waves one last time before the sunlight totally disappeared. This location is a beautiful cove and has endless amounts of places to photograph. In the spring, school children frequent this location on field trips to see the monarch butterflies.

    jharrison > "Bouquet of Color" Tulips at Filoli, Woodside, California. I stumbled upon this grouping of tulips and the bright colors with the blue in the background really caught my attention. I used a wide angle lens to distort the perspective. Printed on a gallery wrap canvas, this just jumps out at you!

    jharrison > "Sunset Flowing", Yosemite National Park, Aperture Nature Photography Workshop Contest trip. "Water, Light and Textures" series. We were shooting at Valley View at sunset with stark blue skies. Scott Bourne had been reminding us to look around and find the smaller images - don't always look for the big picture that anyone else can shoot. The reflected orange glow from El Capitan just lit up the Merced and I found this soothing image. This image is inspired by Charlie Cramer and Michael Frye who I have worked with. This image is available as a canvas giclée gallery wrap in sizes 16"x24", 20"x30", 28"x42" and 38"x58".

    jharrison > "Bridalveil Flows" - Spring flows from Bridalveil Falls. Aperture Nature Photography Workshop Contest, Yosemite National Park. This image is available as a canvas giclée gallery wrap in sizes 16"x24", 20"x30", 28"x42" and 38"x58" I found this little spot coming down from Bridalveil Falls when I was shooting with Steve Simon. I could see the potential in this spot and just kept working it and moving until I finally saw the swirls and nature path coming down. A big version of this image on the wall will let you feel like you are still up in Yosemite. This is one of those hidden pictures that can be found where there and already so many beautiful images to be found.

    jharrison > Storm and Sunset over Mono Lake. White caps were brewing on Mono Lake so I shot this with a 4 second exposure to give this mystical feel to it. The storm clouds were still looming and the sunset was peeking through to highlight the tufa in the center. The salt spray from the lake created the snow like ring around the lake. The winds were about 20-30 miles an hour and I had to use my camera bag and body to weight the tripod down so there was no movement during the long exposure. Something a little different from Mono Lake!

    jharrison > "Sunset above Yosemite National Park" I captured this sunset above Yosemite National Park on the way to the Aperture Nature Photography Workshop. Luckily I was running late, as the rest of the crew were in a hotel room while I captured the pine trees silhouetted against the best sunset of the trip.

    jharrison > "Path to Redwoods" Prairie Creek Redwood National Park. I stumbled upon this bridge in the Prairie Creek portion of Redwood National Park (I crept out while visiting the inlaws!). I had hoped to get out and take pictures before the fog broke, but the sun started beaming through the redwoods in the background. I was able to tame the light and capture this image. I love the feeling you get just walking across the bridge and the choices of the two paths to take. I am inspired to capture those places I want to be on a Friday afternoon. I am debuting this week my latest images from my award winning trip to Yosemite. My Yosemite can be seen here. Let me know which ones you like! Thanks, John

    jharrison > "Pajaro Sunset" Pajaro Dunes, California Sunset and Ocean during summer. This is one of those images I captured while on vacation with our family. We were staying with friends at this nice house right on the beach (the kind of setting you don’t want to ever leave!) The sun was low in the sky with nice clouds and color. I could hear the waves crashing on the beach below. I shot this off of the deck of our house including the tall grasses, fence and red wildflowers that really completed this shot. This is one of those places that I want to be on a Friday afternoon.

    jharrison > "Sunset at Tenaya Lake", Yosemite National Park - Tioga Pass. Just a beautiful sunset at Tenaya Lake. There were no clouds in the sky all day and right at sunset the winds died down to smooth out the lake and a few wisps of clouds came through delivering some brilliant colors.

    jharrison > Upper Falls at Uvas Canyon Creek, nestled in the foothills just south of San Jose. I headed there to shoot after the spring rains and just caught the lush green colors and flows from the creeks. This is another one of those places I would like to be on a Friday afternoon.
