This particular photo was taken minutes before a heavy down pour of rain in Grand Teton National Park.  While I had no illusion that the weather would get better I embraced the diminishing weather conditions to experiment with longer exposures. Shielding my camera and lens from intermittent rain drops I was able to compose & expose for some non-standard perspectives of this iconic landscape. [tags]Grand Teton Nat

Almost a year ago I was exploring south central Utah with Guy Tal and we happened to have an opportunity to photograph lightning at the end of a very productive day in the field.  While we took up different positions it would seem we captured the same lighting strike at almost the exact same instant.  Take a look for yourself as his photo is included in a very well written article on Photographing Lightning.

Just in case there might be any confusion… I’m back from 9 days of intense travel across the Northwest. For those using Internet Explorer web browsers I’d also like to welcome you back. It would seem that for several weeks now IE users were getting bounced from my web site. I’ve fixed this by using a new blog theme. I’m hoping by now this has become apparent to everyone. If you experienc

If you’re looking for something new well this is it until I get back from my trip at the end of this week. I decided to be a little crafty and schedule this one in advance. I recommend you snoop around my blog as I snoop across the Northwest for new photo opportunities.

Photo Details: Canon 1Ds Mark III, 420mm (300mm + 1.4TC), ISO 400, f/7.1, 1/320 sec Since I’ll be away for a shot while monkeying around I thought why not post a photo of a monkey. This White-headed Capuchin monkey with her baby (Cebus capucinus) was taken in Costa Rica this past April. They were part of a troupe of 50+ monkeys that moved right on by me in the jungle. Is it me or does the baby’s expressio

  I’m in pre-trip cramming mode and a Fall Color photo is what the doctor ordered. While I ramp up to photograph spring landscapes I like to remember how drastically the landscape can transform. This particular landscape was taken near Interlaken, Switzerland where the range of color in the forest during Autumn is simply amazing. With fall color in mind I look forward to escaping the new golden hills of Norther

  Late morning in the Swiss Alps on this day last October was truly beauty defined. Yellow Larch trees (thank you Cynth Barnes) and an amazing turquoise Grindjesee Lake proved to be this color photographers dream subject. A little secret I can let you in on… I view photos from this location anytime I want to take a break from my hectic schedule and unwind. I lucked out witnessing this view when the lake was inc

I hope everyone here in the U.S. had a great 3-day weekend. No rest for the wicked. Rather than venture out I decided to catch up on photos and churned through another 300 new images from Switzerland. While I photographed a variety of subjects I can’t help but get a chuckle out of my cow portraits. These photos were a pet project of mine, while I was capturing a variety of landscape, nature and travel photos. T
