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 […]
Website Update Completed
I have finished updating my website using the latest Lightroom templates from The Turning Gate. It truly amazes me what can be accomplished with these tools. The new CE3 versions offer a responsive design that adapts the pages and galleries according to the viewer’s device. The shopping cart is now supported on mobile devices as […]
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 […]
Secluded Tranquility-Upper Butte Creek Falls in Oregon
One of the highlights of any trip to shoot waterfalls in Oregon is a stop by Silver Falls State Park east of Salem. I did just that this morning. But this isn’t a picture of any of the falls in the park. Nope, this is one of a couple of falls on Butte Creek not […]
Blue Moon over Mount Yale-Moonset in Central Colorado
Every day leading up to the full moon last week was cloudy with showers in the evening. That included the night it was full. I swear it is always cloudy when the full moon rises (or at least when I have an opportunity to capture it). So, I decided I would at least set the […]
Shrouded in Green-Upper Proxy Falls in Oregon
A trip to Oregon to shoot waterfalls wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Proxy Falls outside of Sisters, Oregon. I had planned the day to hit Sahalie Falls and Koosah Falls along Highway 126 in the morning and then follow Highway 242 to Proxy Falls and then on over to Sisters where I would […]
Headlong Plunge-Tumalo Falls outside of Bend, Oregon
A little rain always makes shooting waterfalls a lot easier. It eliminates the extreme contrast from bright daylight shining on white water, intensifies the colors in the scene, and allows for longer exposure times to add a silky effect to the flow. I was very fortunate to have many rainy or overcast days on my […]
