The weather couldn’t have cooperated more with our shooting plans than on this day in Glacier National Park. My good friend and fellow photographer Luke Tingley and I awoke to the sound of a gentle rain as our alarms went off to get up for sunrise. We got ready and headed out anyway only to […]
Autumn Evening Radiance-Sunset in Northwestern Colorado
I haven’t spent much time shooting in northwestern Colorado. It always seems like I end up in the more well-known locations around the state or in my own backyard. My good friend and fellow photographer Rod Hanna invited me to come up for a few days this fall and it just so happened that I […]
Alpine Treasure-Grinnell Lake in Glacier National Park
After salvaging a decent sunrise out of a mostly overcast morning in Glacier National Park, my good friend and fellow photographer Luke Tingley and I decided to see if our luck would hold up on a trip to nearby Grinnell Lake. It was raining lightly as we strapped on our packs at the trailhead, but […]
Mirrored Majesty-Sunrise at Oxbow Bend
I made a quick stop at Grand Teton National Park on my way back from Montana this fall. I arrived too late for sunset the first night, so I only had one full day and the following morning to squeeze in some shooting. I had been to the area only once a few years earlier, […]
Rosy Morning Rush-Swiftcurrent Falls in Glacier National Park
The first morning my good friend and fellow photographer Luke Tingley and I went to Swiftcurrent Lake for sunrise was not looking very promising. The winds were whipping across the lake from the west and the sky was socked in with clouds to the east. We had arrived in the faint light of dawn and […]
Surrounded by a Rainbow-Multicolored Aspen Grove
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 […]
