Well, I've been on the road for so long that my Focal World account expired! Took care of that right away. As some of you know, I've been on assignment as Chief Campaign Photographer for Dean Phillips for President (I know, Dean who?). I've been spending all my time in New Hampshire...

I could get used to these warm weather Florida mornings . . .

The entire family is together in Florida for Thanksgiving and this is the view pre-sunrise.

Hey everyone . . . I'm finally off the campaign trail after three straight weeks and in Florida with family for the Thanksgiving week. It is a much needed break. Anyway, I finally got to do some landscapes. My first morning visit to the beach. Aaahhhhhh . . . .

I've been given the opportunity to photograph the latest candidate for U.S. President, Dean Phillips. He launched his candidacy today in New Hampshire. While I have many photos of the candidate himself, one of my favorites from today is of the media. With no intention of being political, I hope...

I guess I just don't have to go too far to catch some good autumn color. These were taken in my neighborhood on a dog walk. #1 #2 #3 #4 #5

I can't decide which of orientation I prefer!

More from my recent visit to this National Wildlife Refuge. I'll be back tomorrow morning for sunrise. #1 #2 #3 #4

Phelps Island on Lake Minnetonka. It's the place I am so fortunate to call home. Peaking colors have arrived!

I did a visit to the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge yesterday. It has become a stopping point for Sandhill Cranes migrating south. To get here, I had to hike two miles from the main road and there's very limited access to this spot. Just five years ago migration numbers were in the...

We had more than 3.5 inches of rain yesterday! This morning, the skies begain to clear and the clouds were moving so fast, it looked like watching a timelapse in real time. This is a four minute exposure on Lake Minnetonka, MN.

Colors are finally starting to pop here in the suburban Twin Cities area. #1 #2 #3

I call this a remnant because I went back to this photoshoot at White Pocket to find this gem hiding among the hundredsd I took of the area. Not sure how I missed this one. Anyway, I like both color and B+W and would love to hear your thoughts.

I recently picked up a Voigtlander 35/2 APO-Lanthar. I already have the 50mm version and love it for sharp images across the frame even when wide open. The 35mm gives similar results and that focal length is my favorite. These were shot at f/11 giving very prominent sunstars.

Sunset is moving further and further out of view as the days grow shorter. In June, sunset is straight out the back door. Soon, sunset will be hidden from our view until spring.

A big thunderstorm rolled through this evening. I saw it on radar out to my west and thought I would have a chance at some lightning. So set up the camera to continuously shoot 10 second exposures. Well the lightning stayed behind the clouds and then the wind picked up with gusts to 50 mph...

Following 5.6" of rain over the last couple of days, the skies are beginning to clear so I went for a long exposure - 5 minutes for this image.

I spent the weekend visiting friends in the north east portion of Wisconsin. It wasn't a photography weekend but I was able to snap a few during a boat ride. #1 #2 #3 #4

Another scene from White Pocket, AZ. I processed this image with techniques learned from Mark Metternich during the workshop I attended. It involves converting the image to black and white using raw layers in photoshop . . . non-destructive editing. I can convert the sky separately from the...

I was up way too early this morning so what else to do? Take a 90 second exposure . . .
