Fall in the Rockies usually brings a variety of weather. One day you can be out shooting in short sleeves and the next you need to put on a winter coat. The forecast during my first visit to the Steamboat Springs area called for a storm moving in at the end of the week. And […]
Gentle Awakening-Sunrise at Swiftcurrent Lake
My good friend and fellow photographer Luke Tingley and I were a bit surprised to find out when we arrived at Glacier National Park that the road up to Logan Pass was closed every night from 9:00 PM until 7:00 AM the next morning. This sent us scurrying to rearrange the detailed schedule we had […]
Fractured Flow-Avalanche Creek in Glacier National Park
I visited Glacier National Park for the first time this fall. As I usually do, I spent quite a bit of time finding possible shooting locations and coming up with a general plan for the week. As in all national parks, there are the obvious places to shoot and in Glacier Avalanche Creek is one […]
In Golden Pond-Autumn Reflection on Crosho Lake
The early fall snowstorm dumped a lot of snow along the road to Crosho Lake. After shooting the panorama of Flat Top Mountain that I posted yesterday, we figured we had made it that far up the road, why not continue on up to the lake. The dirt road was a little sloppy from the […]
Autumn Mountain Grandeur-Flat Top Mountain Panorama
The Flat Top Mountains do not have many towering spiky peaks, but the sheer massive walls are a sight to see, especially covered in snow. We had visited this location a couple of times before this morning to shoot the impressive view with the fall colors at peak. But after an early snowstorm moved through […]
Shades of Autumn-Aspen Grove in Northwest Colorado
If it weren’t for the fact that I geocode all of my images as soon as I get them downloaded, I don’t think I would be able to pinpoint exactly where all my images from this fall were taken. My good friend and fellow photographer Rod Hanna must have showed me every one of his […]
Autumn Tranquility-Sunset in Steamboat Springs
The fall colors have been anything but predictable this year, especially here in Colorado. It seems that all the rain we had in September fooled the aspens into thinking it wasn’t time to start changing! Stands that were at peak color at the end of September last year were still green this year. Reports from […]
Mossy Meandering-Proxy Falls in Oregon
I wandered along in the fresh snow trying to make out the trail in my search for Proxy Falls. Everything I had read said it should be easy to get to, but since I was the first one on the trail, I was having to really work at it. I managed to find Upper Proxy […]
Frenzied Flow-Koosah Falls in Oregon
A steady light rain continued to fall as I arrived at the parking area above Koosah Falls. I was already drenched after stopping at Sahalie Falls just up the road, so it didn’t really matter. There wasn’t any way I could get any more soaked so I packed up my gear and headed towards the […]
Morning Blush-Mount Yale at Sunrise
A couple of weeks ago I got up early to shoot the blue moon setting over the Collegiate Peaks here in the valley. I posted the moon image earlier. An added bonus that morning was what followed the moon’s disappearance behind the towering mountains. Within minutes, the clouds hanging over the peaks began to turn […]
