I saw a report that several eagles were hanging out along the highway north of Kalispell, so I drove out to take a look. I snapped a few shots before they moved further away. Any thoughts are welcome. 1) On the fence 2) Snowbound 3) Taking off 4) To the mountains

1) Palace of Fine Arts – San Francisco, California San Francisco, California I had dinner plans with a friend in San Francisco and decided to stop by a photogenic spot for sunset. I hadn’t been to the Palace of Fine Arts for a long time and was rewarded with some nice light. I tried some...

We have had a lot of snowy and grey sky days in Kalispell for the last several weeks, but forecasts showed a potential for some color over Flathead Lake last night so I drove out to take a look. I picked this spot in the town of Somers as it looked in the right direction and I have always liked...

I attended my first rodeo last week, and indoor event in Kalispell, Montana. I took it as an opportunity to practice low light, sports photography. Here are a few images. Each shot at ISO 25600 on a Canon R5 and a RF 100-500 lens. As it turned out, I never really zoomed longer that 200mm. Next...

I went far and wide to find this composition... No I can't lie. I walked into my yard and thought this made a pretty good scene covered in snow. Any thoughts are welcome.

Had a nice sunrise at Tunnel View and I played with a few compositions as the morning progressed. Composing in the dark before sunrise is often a challenge before sunrise, and as things got brighter I saw one of the trees on the right poking into the scene. While I had taken some tight shots of...

After sunrise in Yosemite last Saturday they sky started clouding up. We took that as an opportunity to drive around the Valley and look for color. Here are a few I liked. I'd love to find out which ones resonate. 1) Merced reflections 2) Autumn Pathway 3) Southside Drive 4) Southside Curve

I shot this Friday night prior to the twilight image I shared a few days ago. The scene from the bridge was nice, even without much fall color and some nice clouds came by just as the sunset peaked. Any thoughts are welcome.

After sunrise on Saturday morning we made our way to the Merced River by Three Brothers and waited for the light to hit the peaks. The water was perfectly calm on this beautiful morning. At one point a bald eagle flew through the scene (I missed it of course). I had never seen an eagle in...

I spent the weekend in Yosemite Valley hoping for fall color. Overall it is not a great year for it. Many leaves haven't turned yet while others are brown and dead. The storm coming in this week will probably end the fall season. That said, Yosemite is always beautiful and we got some good...

Here are a couple of sunrise images from my last morning in Maui - since I had to start adjusting my body clock back to mainland time I was able to drag myself out of bed early for once. Any thoughts are welcome. 1) Sunrise over Fleming Beach (trying to take advantage of the clouds with some of...

Not the greatest foreground in the world, but this viewpoint had a nice clear view of the Pacific Ocean and Milky Way. Looks like I had some airglow too. Any thoughts are welcome.

Here are a few diving/snorkeling photos of sea turtles from my recent trip to Maui. Any thoughts are welcome. 1) Turtle 2) Stalking Turtle 3) Green Sea Turtle

I had envisioned capturing the Milky Way over Secret Beach in Maui and drove down on a relatively clear night to give it a shot. The regular cloud that rolls off Haleakala was mostly north of the beach, so I figured I had a shot. I was surprised by how much of the color from sunset was still...

Wild Horse Island is a popular boating/hiking spot in the middle of Flathead Lake in Montana. Wildlife, including sheep, goats, horses, eagles and osprey is common. On this trip, it was the bighorn sheep that made an appearance. This guy stopped on a log to pose before running to catch his...

Lens is in excellent condition and has always served me well. Glass is perfect and there is a small scratch on the zoom scale but that is it. I am the original owner. Includes lens, both caps, hood, carrying case, box and I'm throwing in my RRS lens foot as well. Offering at Focal World for...

As most of you know I generally focus on still photographs. While on safari in Botswana I did make a point to record some video as well. Everything here was shot in 4K on my R5 and then I edited each clip in Photoshop to get color and contrast as close as I could to how I would present a...

I took my father-in-law up to Hidden Lake last night, which was beautiful as always but we also had the "joy" of getting caught in a thunderstorm. The rain and hail soaked us through but at least the lightning spared us! In any event, we safely made it back to the car and on the way home the...

I was planning to post this today and this has nothing to do with Alan's post. Trust me! I hiked out to Avalanche Lake with my Dad and wife a couple of weeks ago. It is always an enjoyable (if somewhat crowded) hike for such a nice view. The waterfalls were flowing well and the lake was calm...

I wrote a post on my website (https://www.imageskylejones.com/?p=3512) with some thoughts on getting to Botswana, equipment, camping, etc. I'm reproducing it here, but I'd love it if you visited my site and subscribed too! Heading for Botswana I originally made plans to go on my first African...
