Where am I going? I often know exactly where I am and where I want to go, but then look up and think, “How did I get here?” I trust my God, it’s my freewill I don’t trust. Or anyone else’s for that matter. When I’m in this place I feel like all I can think about is my God. I look at His creation and that’s all I can see. The clouds, the mountains, the brush, the cold, the snow, my wife. That last one is one of His finest creations. God help me to never take what You’ve created for granted. I don’t believe You made this so I could sit in a room and pray with my eyes closed. Thank You.

We were in June Lake for when Michaela had the great idea to try and capture the night sky. We opened up one of our apps that identifies the Milky Way, and we got excited when we saw it was behind the mountain outside our window. We immediately went to a spot where no cars really drive by, set up the tripod, and planned on taking an awesome timelapse. After the test shot finished up, we were disheartened with the clouded Milky Way. Rather than set up a timelapse, we settled for this photo that we grew to love. Life is beautiful, even when things don’t go how you plan.

During a week long backpacking trip through the High Sierra Mountains in California, our first evening greeted us with an amazing scene of light streaming through the Minarets Pinnacles, a series of jagged rocks a part of The Ritter Range // follow my adventures on Instagram @jknepp

The Sierra Nevada mountain range dominates the landscape between California and Nevada. On the eastern side of the range, you’ll find Mono Lake. This is a large, shallow soda lake that’s saltier than the ocean. Each year Mono Lake serves as an important resting stop for millions of migratory birds.

A fire and friends are all you need for a great evening, but some hot cinnamon tea and bourbon doesn’t hurt. I wanted to capture the feeling of camping out under the stars with a fire, but the vast difference in light intensity between the fire and the stars made this image impossible to create in camera. The solution is to merge two exposures, one for the fire in the foreground, and one for the stars in the sky.

I drove from 1am to 6am to make it up to Mammoth to reach this mountain range before sunrise. I was able to make it on this beautiful clear morning before the sunrise and ran around trying to find the perfect angle and then I came across this perfect moment of the sun just peeking over and hitting Mount Whitney.

With a fire ban in the area, we needed a different nighttime activity to relax after the sun went down. Luckily, Alabama Hills has so many rocks that can be used as projector screens. Thanks to a battery-powered projector, we were able to up our ‘glamping’ game and have a movie night under the stars.

After a long hike up through rain, snow and 20 degree temperature, I didn’t know what to expect when we reached Upper Cathedral Lake in Yosemite National Park. The clouds seemed to be pulling to the north so I adjusted my position hoping to keep them in frame for sunset. As I waited, a group of hikers came up to admire the view. One of them stepped out on the rocks to take it all in and I was able to capture this reflective moment.

Once we got to the top of the Half Dome, I quickly found this spot and asked my wife to go to the edge of the cliff and pose there. I got a confident NO and had to switch roles. That rare case when I’m a model and my wife is a photographer. It played pretty well.

Before the first person climbed to the top of the Half Dome in 1875, it was considered impossible to do. And then a man named George Anderson made it all the way to the top by drilling into the rock so that he could anchor bolts along the way to help him climb. . A set of cables now line the last, almost-vertical four hundred feet of the trail, anchored into the same holes Anderson drilled in the 19th century. His climb has enabled many others to accomplish the same test of strength.

When we arrived at Inspiration Point midmorning, we were a bit disappointed that the smoke from the nearby wildfire was so thick that visibility was poor. However, as the day went on, the smoke lifted and the visibility improved.

Since we were hiking down from Inspiration Point, we needed to wait until the next morning to catch the shuttle up. So we spent the rest of our first day in the park exploring the valley. We got lucky with a beautiful sunset.

After throwing itself off a cliff a half mile upstream, the Merced river roars under this bridge and down into the gorge beneath Glacier Point. This was taken on a trip from early May 2017. I’ve never seen the water this high. It was absolute insanity. I feel like I have to turn the volume down just looking at this picture.

After an 11 mile hike in snowshoes and lugging a sled full of gear to the mountain top, we were finally rewarded with one of the most scenic views of Yosemite from an angle rarely seen in winter. A photo well worth the exhaustion!

Took this photo after waking up to a flat tire, at 4am on Christmas Eve. It was 14F (-10C) when I changed the tire, in complete darkness (well, I had a flashlight). I made it and was able to stop here for sunrise on my way to a garage shop.

We had just completed a strenuous hike, and all of us were so exhausted until we stumbled across deer in our path. They were just minding their business, not worried about us in anyway. I immediately snapped the photo of one of them crossing and continued to walk toward camp. It certainly was such a sweet moment!

We were traveling down the west coast from San Francisco to Los Angeles. We finally broke away from the fog and were able to see beyond 100ft in front of us so we decided to stop at the first pullover stop we saw. Much to our amazement, we were looking down on one of the most beautiful scenes we’ve ever witnessed. It was so tranquil that we actually spent about a half hour just sitting there watching in silence.

How does water know which side of the rock to fall? Our world is built with phenomena often taken for granted, from swirling galaxies to the streams of the ground. Sometimes I find myself looking up rather than looking around. I decided to shift my focus in this situation and froze this low point of view image in time.

We were looking to capture a foggy sunrise view of Half-Dome in Yosemite, but the weather wasn’t cooperating with us. The fog that did show up was low-lying and moving quickly through the trees like a ghostly river meandering through the canyon, swirling around the tallest trees in small eddies. Like too many forests, the valley is infested with borers, which has killed thousands of trees. The splash of golden trees mixed with the green is actually really beautiful, but a sad reminder of how fragile the forest is.
