Featured Information
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..

One of Yellowstone’s Jewels
Today’s post features another geyser near Old Faithful, in the Biscuit Basin. The Jewel Geyser is a small, but rather active geyser, erupting frequently (every 8-9 minutes is typical). Although the eruption reaches up to 20 feet, it is nowhere near what Old Faithful offers (100 – 180 feet). Jewel Geyser has a shiny, beaded […]

Bubbles in the Mud
Today’s post features some more images I captured in late February in Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming). The mud pots featured in this post were located in the Fountain Paint Pots area of the park, near Old Faithful. One definition I found of the mud pot is that it is a sort of acidic hot springs […]
Chilling Heat Wave
Today’s post features a few images I captured as we entered the thermal feature area around Yellowstone’s Old Faithful. With temperatures starting at about 14F, mentally it “felt” like we were encountering a temporary heat wave as we began entering the thermal features area: Coming up … some images captured as we hiked around some […]

A Change of Season
Today’s post features an image I captured a few days ago when I visited Yellowstone NP and Grand Teton NP in Wyoming. Yellowstone and the Tetons are always great places to photograph landscapes and wildlife, but the picturesque landscape during the winter months adds an extra layer of interest! Today’s post features an image captured […]

Starry, Starry Nights
Interested in learning how to photograph our heavens above us, at night? I’ll be teaching a one-night photography class, “Shooting the Night Sky”, next Tuesday evening April 26, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm at the Cass Career Center in Harrisonville, Missouri. This is a small class and plenty of room for a few more attendees. We’ll […]
2015 Faves, Part 1
In the next few posts, I’ll share my favorite outings, trips and images that I captured in 2015. I will not rank them, as pulling a few “best” images out of thousands I captured this year is a difficult task alone; ranking them would probably be next to impossible! But one trip did stand out […]
“In the beginning …
… God created the heaven and the earth.” And one fine job He did! Today’s post features my favorite single image of the Devil’s Tower astrophotographical trip to capture the heavens above the national monument. For me, this one image has it all … a meteor streaking across the sky, the Milky Way with it’s […]

Let the (Meteor) Show Begin!
Today’s post features the Perseid meteors, captured over the Devil’s Tower NM, in northeast Wyoming. This is the big show, the one I came out to photograph. Just watching such a spectacular show is quite amazing when you are in the open vista of a place like the Devil’s Tower, but photographing the show was […]
