Ok I reached the end of my favorites heading back in time, I am going to be going over some more current ones now. Thank god, I was getting tired of the old stuff.
I have been keeping pretty busy with photography related stuff lately, I am working on building a white seamless studio background, as well as slowly working on photos for a music-related project I have.
I put an ad in the DHS yearbook, and got a webpage designed... that was pretty fun.
The website is www.tomolsonphotography.com and was designed by a fellow up in Canada, he does great work.
I'll post some new stuff here soon!

Favorites Part Twenty Seven
Too many photos from Hawaii! Oh well, it's something I am glad to be able to complain about.
This is from the lava fields of the Volcano National Park. It was a pretty cool place, kind of sucked that it was permanently stuck in a rain cloud while we were there, but still an amazingly unique place.
I was most fascinated with the seemingly endless lava fields at the park. They weren't really endless, and I probably only saw something like 5-10 square miles of them (which is still pretty huge) but the visuals they provided of a seemingly endless field of sharp black rock were just awesome. If I lived in Hawaii I would spend a ton of time there, especially for photoshoots.
This is an HDR shot that I edited pretty heavily. I should go back and re-edit it, maybe this will inspire me to get around to doing that. I'm not too happy about the sky at this point, it's a bit too grey but the ground is still really amazing.

Here is another one from Hawaii.. but looking back this is probably my favorite from the trip at this point in time. This is actually a re-edit, as my first was waaaaay over-saturated, and that's just not my style now.
The story goes like this:
It was Monday, our first full day in Hawaii and Nick, David, Mandy and I are heading to Hapuna Beach, setting out around 10am. We are taking the scenic coast route I guess, and on the way out of Hilo we drive past this crazy hillside graveyard. In the middle of it is this gigantic gorgeous tree.
I had watched "The Fountain" less than a month before and the "Tree of Life" vibe this thing was giving off was ridiculous... despite the fact that it was surrounded by a bunch of tombstones. I think as soon as I saw it my jaw dropped and I said to Nick "Ok Nick you gotta take me here later." I think it was Thursday when Nick and I took a drive to find some flower specimen for him and he said he would take me by this spot.
We get there and I'm walking all around this place trying to get the angle I had pictured in my head, but unfortunately the graveyard wasn't as steep on the hill as I thought it was, and since I was limited to a wide angle lens I had to settle for something different (Sometimes I really wish I could fly purely for a photo taking aspect).
I still really liked the photo, the sky and the clouds and the tree all just look so perfect in my eyes.

Favorites Part Twenty Five
Here is another one from the Hawaii trip, near the location of the last photo, but taken about 45 minutes later and facing West instead of East. This was my first sunset I had ever photographed... I got a little spoiled, what can I say. I really like this because of the range of colors I got from it right out of the camera. I don't think there is much post work done on this.
Hawaii is really beautiful... I want to go back. :-(

Another shot from Hawaii, this is from Mauna Loa, at about 9300 feet. We drove up there with Nick and parked at the observatory. I noticed the hill I was standing on as I took this while we were standing around and I walked about a quarter mile to the hill then climbed about 300 feet to get to the top of it. I got kinda winded in the process haha.
It was a pretty cool view most people rarely see except when in an airplane. I had a great time up on that mountain, especially taking sunset/star pictures. It was incredible!
