I just returned from a relaxing vacation to Isla Mujeres off the coast of Cancun. I had no real plans besides taking it easy, and only brought my Canon M6 for some snapshots. Here is a favorite from the south end of the island, looking northwest along the coastline with Cancun in the distance...

This lady seemed to be laughing at us... Taken in Botswana in July 2022.

After several weeks of grey skies and otherwise uninspiring conditions, spring finally hit Western Montana yesterday and I drove into Glacier to celebrate. The Apgar area of Lake McDonald is pretty much the only place you can reach at this point due to road construction, but the lake was...

I didn't quite get the light I was after, but at least I could see the mountains. I had been looking for a nice barn I could place in front of the Swan Range in the Flathead Valley for a while, and found this one on my way to lunch the other day. While it lacks the charm of an older structure...

I drove down to the National Bison Range yesterday and got a little up close and personal time with a group of bison near the road. The weather this time of year is always interesting, in the hour I was there I had rain, snow, hail, and some beautiful sunshine. Here are a couple of favorites. As...

We followed this fine lady for a while as she made her way through the brush in Moremi, Botswana. She stopped for a short rest, allowing me to capture her in the morning light with her breath turning frosty in the cold air. Any thoughts are welcome.

I was looking through my posts from Botswana last year and I don't think I shared this one. This was captured in Moremi as a herd of elephants moved through the area, stopping to give themselves a dust bath. All of the dirt in the air created some really nice light at sunset. My favorite (and my...

All lenses are in great shape and I'm pretty sure that the 28mm has never even left my home. Make me an offer! Pictures show what is included. Lens, both caps, and hoods/cases for the L-lenses. EF 70-200 f/4L IS: $500 EF 16-35 f/4L IS: $500 EF 28mm f/1.8: $200 Photos of 70-200

This is from an afternoon that we spent scouting in Arches, looking for interesting places to explore as well as trying to find a nice view of the mountains on a relatively pretty day. This one worked for me with red rock on either side, some nice clouds, and some interest in the foreground. Any...

Here are a couple of "late afternoon" shots of Delicate Arch to go along with the sunset shots I shared previously. The La Sal mountains are more visible in these as the clouds had not fully engulfed them yet. Just for grins, I'm including a twilight image as well. Any thoughts are welcome. 1)...

Here is a selection of images from my morning tour of Monument Valley. Our main goal was to return to the spot near Artist's Point where we shot sunset for a sunrise shot, catching the early light on the buttes. We started out exploring some possible compositions in the twilight hour before...

I spent one sunrise at Turret Arch, after deciding I didn't want to deal with the sketchy climb to shoot it through North Window. The sunrise was nice and the snow around the scene adds some texture. Any thoughts are welcome.

Here are some shots from our afternoon/sunset guided photo tour of Monument Valley. For those who aren't aware, the road that you can pay to drive yourself requires that everyone be out of the park by 5pm. Thus, the only way to be in the valley for sunset (or sunrise) is to pay a Navajo guide...

I hiked up to Delicate Arch twice during my recent trip, with promising conditions on both days. The first was on a Friday evening and there were a few dozen people (nothing like the summer or even during the Christmas break) enjoying the scene. Unfortunately, a thick bank of clouds formed on...

I made the pilgrimage to Mesa Arch on Saturday morning, arriving first with another car right behind us., about 2 hours before sunrise. This left us able to pick our spots. The crowd that morning was very small, with really only about 10 photographers with tripods there at sunrise, making it...

Here are a couple of late afternoon images of the Totem Pole (Yei Bi Chei) in Monument Valley. The clear blue skies look nice against the red rock, but I still worked to minimize the sky in these. The bush in the foreground of the landscape image was blowing in the wind, so it isn't quite as...

The toughest shots require major sacrifices in time and energy to get to the perfect location. This isn't one of those. I rolled out of bed and stepped onto our balcony at "The View" hotel to capture Monument Valley by the light of the moon. The clouds were moving fast and were gone by sunrise...

This is a complete rework of this image, which I captured several years ago during a beautiful sunrise in Iceland. This was after the sunrise colors had faded, but the light and clouds were still really nice. My previous attempts struggled with the bright area in the cloud and the darkness in...

Here's another image I hadn't gotten to from my Yosemite trip at the beginning of November. This took every bit of the 14mm wide end of the new RF 14-35. As much as I would have liked to compose a little more to the right for more balance, that would have pushed some of the El Capitan reflection...

Here are a couple of images from Lake McDonald taken last night. The light in the first image worked its way along the mountains before eventually turning pink and lighting the peaks. Any thoughts are welcome. 1) Prior to sunset 2) Pink light
