I live at a lighthouse on the central California coast. I work at a hostel and have been a field naturalist. For land, I use a Nikon D810 with a Nikon 24-85mm, a 70-180mm micro zoom, 500mm lens and a Sigma 15mm Fisheye lens. For sky, I use a Nikon Coolpix 5000 with a fisheye lens suspended from a kite to get circular aerial photographs. My photos can be viewed and purchased at www.jeffparryphotography.com. I volunteer for the Santa Cruz Chapter of the International Dark Sky Association.

Santa Cruz Surfer Statue evening potrait
This was my first attempt at this angle and the twilight was still not completly dark and the half moon helped illumiate the sky. I found this angle by climbing a fallen tree and a street light illuminated the statue perfectly, but I was not able to get all of the boardwalk in the background with out also showing the streetlight pole. Although the un-cropped photo is a decent compositon, I felt that the pole devided the image too much and was distracting. Thus, the first portrait image of the two I was happy with.
