The below photograph was taken recently up in Rocky Mountain National Park. It’s a 10 shot panoramic at dawn as the moon was setting. While I don’t do a lot of panos I thought I’d post my process in case it gives others any ideas; if you have questions or additional ideas, please share as well!
People often see the “professional” camera (i.e. large DSLR body) and assume that’s what creates great photos. Indeed, a good sensor, optics, and so on certainly helps, but it does nothing for the idea captured or the composition. (more…)
I have a selection of images from my Palouse collection (printed on metal) on display at Wild Boar in Fort Collins through the end of the month. If you’re in the area, check them out, have a coffee (or beer), and grab some food. Thanks to the Wild Boar community art program for selecting my work for the month of January. (more…)
I recently posted about about the American Hiking Society using one of my photos for their annual report cover. Recently they asked to use a few additional photos for their #Giving Tuesday promotion, and of course I said yes. The photos, along with a short interview they conducted with me, appeared on their website, Facebook, and newsletters.
I hope to have more opportunities to collaborate with them in the future. (more…)
Last weekend was prime time for colors and elk bugling in Rocky Mountain National Park. I spent two days there photographing (and listening to) the elk as well as the changing aspens. The weather was about perfect and while the peak color may have come a few days earlier than normal this year, my timing couldn’t have been better. The crowds can be significant, especially on the weekends, but it only takes an alpine start and willingness to go where the majority of the tourists are not to find solitude. (more…)
This past summer I went on a weeklong volunteer vacation through the American Hiking Society. We reconstructed about 3/4 mile of trail in Hells Canyon, Oregon. While taking photos wasn’t my main job, I did bring the camera along and captured a few shots for AHS. In addition to utilizing the images on their Facebook page, they chose the image below for their report cover and an additional image for an interior page. (more…)
