Photo Travel: Shooting Sequoia National Park

I make a lot of trips to the Fresno area, due to the sport of boxing. Selland Arena in Fresno, California is now the home of soon to be boxing world champion, Jose Carlos Ramirez. Finally I my most recent trip, I decided to pay the giant trees a visit.

On a Sunday afternoon I set off from the town of Tulare to the Giant Forrest located near Three Rivers, California in Sequoia National Park. About an 1 1/2 hour drive due to the low mph driving around the winding roads, once inside the park.
After about 40 mins of driving these road, you will eventually run into your first giant tree. Many turnouts are on the way if your too impatient to wait for the designated landmarks. Below is a video of my documented experience.
The fog was just right on my experience, along with the weather. As a Las Vegas resident the temperature was just right for October and would sprinkle me with thoughts on the upcoming Christmas.

Even though I shoot a lot of boxing matches when it comes to taking photos, I would have to say landscape photography is my favorite type of shooting.

The hardest part of landscape photography is getting to the location. The model provided by Mother Nature does the rest. A beautiful setting will always look beautiful once you press down that shutter button.

I had a wonderful experience along with my Wife capturing the beauty of these giant Sequoia's and plan to visit them once again. Below our some of our shots.
