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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

With all the fires ravaging the state of Colorado, I decided to head to an area away from them all to avoid the smoke and do some shooting. I figured if I dropped over to the other
Sitting Pretty-Pastel Sunrise at Lake Tahoe
I just returned last week from a whirlwind trip to Death Valley, Lake Tahoe, Bisti, and Shiprock. My good friend Luke Tingley and a friend of his were flying into Las Vegas for a
Morning Cloud Magic-Beaver Pond Reflection on Slate River Road
As is true with most of the mornings in Colorado, there wasn’t much in the way in clouds when I was out at sunrise this day. I setup at a large beaver pond next to the Slate River
Chisos Mountains Morning-Sunrise at Big Bend National Park
The first time I went to Big Bend National Park, I was amazed at how beautiful it was. The timing was right that year with everything being lush and blooming. I loved the contrast
