Working beside him for 4 years at Mountain High and seeing him every time I went up for the 7 years after was awesome. He always had a cool story and wanted to send me home with something. I still have a case of Cholula from him in my kitchen. Click below to see just how much he has contributed to surfing and snowboarding.

Vapor cone also known as Prandtl–Glauert singularity

“The Prandtl–Glauert singularity, also referred to as a vapor cone, shock collar, or shock egg, is the point at which a sudden drop in air pressure occurs. Under the right atmospheric conditions, this causes a visible condensation cloud to appear about an aircraft traveling at transonic speeds.” -wikipedia

Now that you know what that technically is, we can go on. This was shot at the Miramar Air Show in 2008. I noticed a shot like this on a website which incorrectly described it as breaking the sound barrier. It reminded me of this shot I took so I dug it up and posted it. I’ve added a few more from that show below.

This was only a 2 shot HDR. I love my S95 for when I don’t feel like lugging around my DSLR. This was my first time at this beach and it’s great. Really cool tide pools and rocks. I want to go back when there is a big swell.

Something magical going on as Kim checks on her sugar cookies!

Want to know how I did this? 

the background

The background shot with nothing in it

I started with a background shot with nothing in it.  This would be my bottom layer in photoshop.

Let's get her to levitate

Going to need help levitating.

I got the help of my roommate Dewey to hold Kim up.  She’s got a climbing harness on which is how he was able to lift her in that way.  Had to photoshop out the harness later on.

Cookies

Next we need to put the cookies in the shot

Put sugar cookies on sticks and took shots of them all over the place.  Everything was masked out except the cookies later in photoshop.

All the layers

All the layers in photoshop

Here you can get an idea of what was going on in photoshop.  A lot of layers and cookie masking!

I know I didn’t go into much detail so if you have any questions, please comment below.

Here are some photos I found from the past that I really like and never shared.  Enjoy and let me know what you think.
