Last year Guy Tal was an amazing host when we met in his home away from home Torrey, Utah. Aside from having a great conversation that later became an EXIF and Beyond podcast featuring Guy Tal I had an incredibly fun time exploring the area with him, taking in the amazing scenery of southern Utah. It was great timing to visit the area as the moon was in its full phase. The terrain around Factory Butte is amazing unto
This photo of Sinopah Mountain Reflected in Two Medicine Lake epitomizes the “take your camera back out” moment. While this photo was taken with in the window of the “Golden Hour”, Mother Nature had one last surprise for me… after I put my camera equipment away of course. Before this photo was taken clouds had moved in quickly behind me obscuring the rising sun turning the landscape grey
Point Lobos State Reserve is truly one of the gems of the California State Park system. I credit Art Wolfe with piquing my interest in this particular reserve. The rugged beauty of this area is a feast for the eyes and one of the premiere locations for nature photographers to visit. The trails are well kept, easy to hike and is one of the few areas where coastal wildlife is abundant. Before and/or shortly after my S
The magic of Glacier National Park is that its bigger than life beauty is seemingly presented like acts of a play. Through out the day or sometimes slowly over several days various acts are revealed. Most know Glacier from its iconic sun kissed glacially carved peaks and valleys (see Swiftcurrent Lake Panoramic, Glacier National Park), but between these amazing moments curtains of clouds descends as harsh weather co
A bad day at Glacier National Park is better than my best day in so many other locations. The landscape of Glacier is beyond description and even a panoramic photo such as this, of sunrise at Two Medicine Lake, can’t truly do it justice. I woke up an hour too early to watch and photograph sunrise on this particular morning in Two Medicine. While clear to the west, the direction at which this photo was taken, cl
I’ve been working on a few photo series as of late. “Free” (unrelated to recent posts) is one series that I’ll be slowly releasing capturing the essence of vast open landscapes. As urban sprawl continues to expand its easy to forget what beauty the land holds when it is left untouched. Its becoming increasingly common for many people to have never laid eyes on a view of vast open and untouched
As you might recall in a previous post Swiftcurrent Lake Panoramic, Glacier National Park I was mentioning how fog quickly moved in obscuring the view. Here’s what the view looked like after I relocated to a different location. A few photographers who thought they got up early enough, set up for early morning light only to be shut out by quick forming fog. Sometimes it pays to be an over achiever and wake up to
Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park isn’t the most traveled to location, but it is one of the most beautiful. The serene nature of the lake is fleeting as many kayakers and small boat operators like to enjoy it. I caught this photo just before a boat disrupted the stillness of the water. I was idealistically hoping that this moment would last forever, but change in nature and by man is constant. [tags]L
