My sunrise shoot at one of my favorite locations in Anguilla turned out to be a bust this morning due to a large cloud bank off to the east. They tried to break up enough to let the sun shine through but it just wasn’t happening. There was no reason to rush off, so I […]
Sundance on the Three Apostles-Sunset in the Colorado Rockies
I was thinking ahead to summer this weekend and what locations I might like to visit and it reminded me of a camping trip I took last July. I had studied the maps around my area and my goal was to explore more places close to home that could provide good photo opportunities. I had […]
Here Comes the Sun-Dawn on the Florida Coast
As promised in my “Light up the Sky” post a couple of weeks ago, here is the shot I got earlier that morning. This was taken six minutes before the other shot, just as the sun came over the horizon. The heavy cloud cover glowed with an intense pink hue that spread softly onto the […]
Left Turn-Dune Patterns in White Sands National Monument
I stopped in White Sands National Monument in New Mexico as I worked my way back home from my trip down south. I left Big Bend National Park a day early because strong winds had moved in and filled the skies with dust. Looking at the forecast for the White Sands area, it looked much […]
Seen Better Days-Grounded Ship on Road Bay in Anguilla
I have been to the beautiful island of Anguilla in the British West Indies a number of times over the years. I have always had the perfect excuse because my folks would spend time there in the winter. I had to go make sure they were doing alright after all! Unfortunately, this year was my […]
Daybreak at the Slough-Everglades National Park Panorama
This panoramic image was taken fifteen minutes after the image in my earlier Mangrove Morning post. In that amount of time, the sun rose through the fog and spread a warm glowing light over the slough. It was simply gorgeous. I moved around looking for some interesting compositions but what really caught my eye was […]
Morning Fury-Sunrise at Coral Cove State Park in Florida
I made a couple of stops while travelling up the east coast of Florida on this last trip. I had done some research ahead of time and found a couple of locations that have rocky areas on the beaches. The first stop was at Coral Cove State Park outside of Jupiter. I checked out the […]
Mt. Princeton in White-Spring Snow on the Rockies
We have been getting a lot of much needed snow here in my valley since I returned home from my recent trip down south. In fact it started snowing in the middle of the night and hasn’t stopped yet this morning. That’s fine, we need as much as we can get. If my memory and […]
Shroud of Stillness-Foggy Morning in Everglades National Park
I had finished up taking my shot of sunrise at the red mangrove forest and had started heading back towards town when I drove into a bank of dense fog. Since the sun was shining brightly above the fog, everything glowed in bright diffused light. You could just make out shapes in the distance. I […]
Light Up the Sky-Sunrise on the Florida Coast
There are only a couple of locations along the east coast of Florida that you can find rocks along the beach. I know, what fun is it playing on a beach with rocks? If you don’t watch out, you could stub your toe! Well, for a killer composition in a photograph, you need something besides […]
