Due to my recent move to the Lake of the Ozarks, along with the Covid issues, I am currently not teaching group classes. However, I am available for private individual or very small group, in-the-field teaching, where we can safely learn more about our cameras and our photographic techniques..

Fun Friday: Fall’s Peak Colors
Today’s post includes a couple of images I captured yesterday, after returning from a last-minute trip to Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks for some fall photography … more on that later. A few days earlier, when I left for my photo trip, the leaves around my rural Missouri home were making some big changes. But […]

Photographic Equipment Used: DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone, with 8.8mm lens ISO 100 Aperture […]

Those Fabulous Fall Leaves
I enjoyed a few days “off” and have been busy chasing fall colors around the Midwest. I spent 3 days in Madison County, Iowa (anyone ever heard of the “Bridges of Madison County”?), photographing the 6 covered bridges and fall colors. Had some nice weather and lots of photo ops, even though I missed peak […]

Beginning of Fall
Saturday morning I made a visit to the nearby prairie, hoping to find a dragonfly crusted over with frost (our first frost warning of the fall season was Saturday morning). Unfortunately, no dragonflies were found. But several wildflowers were still blooming and the first signs of fall colors were exhibited by many of the Sumac […]

Fall foliage while I was in Rocky Mountain National Park this past week, was phenomenal!

Alberta Falls
Well, Day 2 at Rocky Mountain NP was another “keeper”. The morning started out with very little elk activity at Moraine Park. After a short while, I packed up and drove to another spot where elk often occupy in the park, the Beaver Meadows area. Bingo! A very large bull elk was tending to his […]

When Rainouts Are Fun!
Well, the first day in Rocky Mountain National Park has concluded. And the weatherman was correct … rain, rain, rain! :o) May sound like a lousy day, but it actually was a very rewarding day, despite the recurring rain showers. Arriving at Moraine Park (a wonderful place to photograph elk inside the Park) about a […]

Working At Home
Brrrrrrrr … getting cold in the morning here. So cold, that I decided to “work at home” the other morning. That way, I would be close to the house … and warmth! I should clarify things. I love the fall and winter, and even enjoy getting out in the brisk mornings. But the first few […]
