I went much more conventional today. And didn't even have to leave my driveway for this one. 4 image focus stack. C&C always welcome.

After shooting some wildflowers this morning, I went on down to the creek, where I saw a high lining setup. Nobody there, so I went back in the afternoon & was lucky enough to catch these guys working their core muscles. The 2nd line you see drooping in loops is their backup line.

After filing for unemployment due to the pandemic, I was feeling kind of blue, so went out to shoot the pasque flowers that I had seen blooming the previous day. Doing an arty processing like this is completely new to me, so c&c very definitely welcome.

Following up on the 'Imaging Close to Home" thread Mike Lewis started: I went up the road from my house to try to catch some nice alpenglow on the back range the other morning. Dense clouds to the east prevented that, but made for some nice colors 180 degrees from the intended shot. Using a...

A few more from that trip 7 years ago. C&C always welcome.

Jim Fox sent me an Easter greeting, to which I responded with Easter eggs from the Bisti from 7 years ago. And that led me to process some shots from there that I never worked on. For this one, I'd like feedback particularly on color vs b&w. Anything else, too, of course!

I have to admit, I thoroughly enjoyed driving along slowly, stopping, turning around, etc when there was nice reflected light on the canyon walls -- exactly the kind of driving that normally would drive me crazy if I was behind somebody doing just that. Most people photograph this when the tree...

No, not those fabled creatures we in the US associate with things like shamrocks and St Patty's Day. Leprechaun Canyon in Utah. This is the subway portion (which was portrayed as the Inscription Chamber in the movie 127 hours. The real Inscription Chamber is quite small and fairly shallow --...

The previous evening at the Bisti was characterized by dramatic clouds , nice light.........and howling wind. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be taking my camera out of my pack, but I figured the pack would weigh me down & keep me from blowing away. Even if I'd been able to keep my stove lit...

I left Escalante one morning last week to try to catch the fresh snow at Bryce. Escalante just had relatively brief, intense squalls (but enough to now want to be 20 miles down Hole In the Rock Rd in a slot canyon), but Bryce was supposed to have 4 inches of snow. Between the darkness & many...

Last post before I go off the grid for a while. Most of you will recognize the Temples of the Sun & Moon in Lower Cathedral Valley. In the foreground is Glass Mountain, which is kind of a misnomer due to it's height (or lack of). It's a very interesting formation. From the park brochure...

For the geology fans here...... (as opposed to alluvial?). This is beyond the Mars Desert Research Station in the San Rafael Swell, UT. Similar to the Painted Hills, but no walkways, parking areas or other visitor amenities.

My first attempt at a Milky Way pano. It was too bad that the moon was at one end, obscuring it. What do you folks think? Leave it in, crop it, something else?

My first sunrise of the trip was at one of Ben's favorite places (or so it seems). It was great to get out of the coronavirus hysteria & awaken with a clear head. I have some for Alan, too, that I'll post later, after I've gotten to them.

I'd had this time off planned for over a month & it has been proving itself timely for mental health. After a few days in the San Rafael Swell and backcountry Capital Reef, I headed to Escalante. My dog had gotten dehydrated, so I needed to go where there was water. After a session in the...

The last couple of days had gotten above freezing, but not for long & not by much, so I thought that the ice I had photographed a few days ago would still be there. This time, despite the evening before having been the annual office party (even though the llc was dissolved last year -- we're...

Really, don't try to compare to Jokulsarlon ;), but it's a catchy title. One of the payoffs from the cold weather followed by high winds here. We only get the right combination occasionally -- last time was probably a handful of years ago. I didn't get my lazy butt out of bed quite early...

This is the middle part of a man-made waterfall outside of Moab, UT. Water was diverted from a nearby creek to create this waterfall. I've been coming to this area for about 35 years & this was the first time I went here. A 1st for the 1st.

Staying away from Mesa Arch, I got a not-too-early start this morning to visit another arch I hoped would have some nice reflected light. At 18 degrees, my phone's battery got totally drained (& it was in the car!). I couldn't find an angle that isolated it from the surrounding canyon walls...

One of the better views from a roadside outhouse. Not from inside, just right next to. Though for general outhouse views, the one on the way to Longs Peak (at the junction to Chasm Lake to the left and Keyhole to the right) comes to mind as one of the most scenic outhouse views.
