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..

Colorful Badlands Sunset
Today’s post features a couple of sunset images as the sun dropped towards the western horizon, over the Badlands NP of South Dakota. I have never seen a “bad” sunset here … ok, if it is really cloudy it might not be good sunset material. But typically, I can always count on some really nice […]

Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer
When I recently traveled to Glacier National Park (northwest Montana), I was really looking forward to some great night skies photography. What I didn’t realize was that there were some nearby wildfires and they literally created havoc with any photography that included the sky or distant landscapes! That is, except … when shooting afternoon skies! […]

2015 Faves, Part 2
Another fun experience in 2015 was my trip to the Platte River in Nebraska, in early spring to photograph the migrating Sandhill Cranes. I always enjoy a 3-4 day trip to the Platte River, where there can be several hundred thousand cranes and, if lucky, you might even spot a Whooping Crane in the crowd! […]

It Doesn’t Get Any Better!
Today’s post comes from second trip to a blind at Rowe Sanctuary, on the Platte River in Nebraska. This blind visit was on my last evening on the Platte River and I still had one goal that hadn’t been reached … to capture cranes flying in front of the sun, or in front of a […]

Rowe Blind, Part 1
One of the highlights of photographing Sandhill Cranes along the Platte River is photographing from one of the Rowe Sanctuary blinds. The blinds are located right on the Platte River and usually gives one a front seat to a wonderful morning, or evening with the cranes as they either leave the river (mornings) or return […]

Sunset Over Big Salt Marsh
While photographing migrating birds at Quivira NWR (Kansas) last month, a wonderful sunset greeted us on our first evening. When the colors started to really “boil”, tons of birds began returning to the refuge for overnight roosting: It seems like the most awesome sunsets occur over National Wildlife Refuges. It makes especially pleasing photography whenever […]

Late Afternoon on Mount Evans
One evening, I stayed on Mount Evans late enough to capture the late afternoon’s low light: A short time later, the sun began disappearing over the distant mountains: Mount Evans is a lovely place, any time and any location! Photographic Equipment Used: Canon 5D Mark 3 body Canon EF28mm-135mm, f/3.5-f/5.6, IS Handheld, with IS “On” […]

Sunset Along Black Bear Pass
Our day spent along Black Bear Pass ended in some interesting sunset images. As sunset approached, it looked like we would not have much color in the skies. But at the last minute, we did get some interesting skies, particularly with the cloud cover that was present. Here are 6 images from the many I […]

A Badlands Sunset
My short, 2-day photography stop in the Badlands NP (South Dakota) was too short for me … I have been in love with this place for several years now and it always seems that each trip there is not enough time! Today’s post includes some HDR images of the Badlands landscapes, just before and during […]
