My good friend and fellow photographer Luke Tingley and I arrived at the Hidden Lake trailhead early in the afternoon leaving ourselves plenty of time to wait for a parking spot and to scout out where we wanted to setup for sunset. Shortly after starting up the trail we veered off into the valley below […]
Frenzied Dawning-Sunrise in Kauai
The sunrise this morning was simply breathtaking. The sun slowly slid above the horizon shining soft orange light across the sky as it climbed behind a bank of clouds. The waves crashed on the shoreline and created small waterfalls as it slid back out to sea. Truly an idyllic scene. It looks so peaceful now, […]
Gentle Beginning-Oberlin Falls in Glacier National Park
The morning started out shooting waterfalls in a steady rain around Saint Mary Lake in Glacier National Park. After getting our fill down below, my friend and fellow photographer Luke Tingley and I headed on up to Logan Pass. After climbing over 2,000 feet, the rain had changed to snow.
Autumn Ablaze-Fall Color in Northwestern Colorado
The fall color south of Steamboat Springs was just crazy this year. I am fortunate to have my good friend and fellow photographer Rod Hanna living right there to keep me posted on the conditions and tell me when to get up there.
Ominous Radiance-Pumpelly Pillar in Glacier National Park
The second visit for sunrise at Two Medicine Lake proved to be just the opposite of the first. The clouds dancing above the mountains to the west were a welcome addition, but the wind whipping across the lake made it a pretty hard to get any kind of reflection in the lake.
Morning Rush-Sunrise at Moloaa Bay in Kauai
I timed my trip to Kauai right when the ocean swells were at their peak. Not that I did that intentionally. It did make me change my shooting plans, especially along the north coast where the waves could be fierce at times.
Shoreline Serenity-Sunrise on Waipouli Beach in Kauai
I had scoped out many locations to shoot sunrise along the east coast of Kauai. Some required a drive of up to 45 minutes and a hike to reach. It wasn’t until almost the last day of my trip there in December that I thought about checking out the beach right where I was staying.
Gentle Dawning-Sunrise at Lydgate Beach in Kauai
My flight into Kauai landed shortly after sunset, leaving me no chance to scope out a location for sunrise the next morning. There were a couple of beaches that I had seen shots from close to my hotel, so I figured that was going to be my best option. All you need is a beach […]
Gem in the Jungle-Upper Hoopii Falls in Kauai
There are a lot of waterfalls in Kauai which is understandable since one of the wettest places on Earth is in the middle of the island. Mount Waialeale gets an average of 450 inches of rain every year. All this water naturally flows down the mountainside to the ocean. Many of the falls can only […]
Seaside Tranquility-Sunset on Poipu Beach in Kauai
I had enough time to sneak away to the island of Kauai earlier this month. It was my first trip to the Hawaiian Islands and the timing couldn’t have been better. It was 57 degrees the afternoon I drove down to Denver and when my flight left the next morning it was 7 degrees. Quite […]
