Welcome to the photographic galleries, interests, and travels of Stephen Fischer. There is a special emphasis towards landscape and wildlife photography as noted by the extensive gallery. Stephen is based out of Sacramento, California and as such, this site represents a specialty in some of the natural landscapes of the area such as the American River Parkway, the oak woodlands in the surrounding foothills, and some of the local wildlife preserves for bird related photography. 

You can find details for some of these favorite local shooting locations for landscape and wildlife on the menu to the left marked 'Local locations'.  On a broader basis, Stephen's photographic coverage also spans most of the northern and central portion of California from the Pacific coast to the Eastern Sierras, White Mountains, and Death Valley. Out-of-state coverage includes Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Southern Utah. You can find many of his favorite images for these locations under the 'Image Gallery' menu item.  To get a sampling on a weekly basis of fresh photographic results from recent trips and photo excursions, also check out the 'Picture of the week' link.  An ongoing compendium of Stephen's select bird images is also on display under the 'Bird Library' link. To the right, are reports and images of more recent trips Stephen has taken for the purpose of high quality photography.

For the benefit of other interested photographers, additional resources can be found at this site on favorite photographic techniques used to achieve some of the more interesting perspectives that are present in the nature around us. In addtion, some handy image processing tips through the application of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are also covered under the menu item: 'Imaging techniques'.
