I was once again out at Petit LeMans this year purely as a spectator. We logged many miles in the golf cart running around. It was a lot of fun as usual. #1: I have spent a lot of time working on my shooting through stuff skills...this one is at 1/10 to really blur all the stuff. #2: Early...

I spent a couple of days at the end of September up at Reelfoot Lake State Park in the NW corner of Tennessee. It was a solo camping trip that was primarily focused on long exposure photography. I had shared a couple of these on FB and made a video about it on my YT channel, and Jim asked me...

Just before Covid-19 took over the world, I made my annual trip to Death Valley. This year it was just my dad and I. Others had planned to go but as it got closer life got in the way for all of them. It meant I got to spend some good quality time with my dad in one of my favorite places in...

About a week ago I was in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park chasing fall color. The previous weekend I was supposed to go, but had to change my plans, and then that week we saw really cold weather, rain and high winds. Peak color got wiped out for the most part. But there was still some...

This past weekend was the 22nd Annual Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta. One of the highlights of my year...I think I have been 10 or 11 times now and will keep going as long as they continue to have it. Just a few images processed so far...I will add to it as I go. #1: Morning Roll Out I wanted...

My sunrise shoot in Rainier was planned around getting an image like this...I wanted a clear sky, I like it better that way for the reflection. Sometimes dramatic skies can be overpowering if they are also reflected in a nice still and calm lake. 3 image pano with the Batis 18, because I didn't...

I spent several days in the PNW the end of last week and first of this week...my first excursion was to Olympic National Park and the Hoh Rain forest...wow...what a primordial place...I expected a dinosaur to just show up at any time...I was focusing on using the 24TSE for some wide, intimate...

Today is #worldphotographyday...how about share an image of where you would rather be, one of your favorite places or where you might be lucky enough to be right now making photographs... I would rather be in Yosemite or another NP...will be in Rainier later this week...but this image is me...

From Sunrise last weekend in the Smokies. For me there are not many places that really work for sunrise i the Smokies, I usually prefer to make my way to a creek or waterfall. But when showing someone that park that has not been there, I try to give them the grand tour. So Oconaluftee...

It took close to 10 years...but I finally got a good sunset with atmosphere at Morton's Overlook in the Smoky Mountains. The best light and color was well after "sunset"...so glad we were one of the few that stuck around for it. If anyone is interested in the post production, 5 frames...

From my Spring 2018 trip. Edited because I am headed back this weekend, and can't wait! I was also playing around with Camera Matching profiles in LR. I know I will lose a couple folks with the 2 second exposure but for me, that look is exactly what I was going for on this one due to the...

I was on the road last week and went out to try and capture an image for a new commission I am working on...but the spot I wanted to get to was covered in 4 feet of heavy surf due to an abnormally high tide...so I back tracked and went to a spot I had seen on the way in that was under water from...

The waterfall Wednesday posts have me jonesing for a moving water photo trip. Hopefully I will get to spend some time up in the Mountains this Fall. I missed true fall color last year and spring this year. I did get to spend a little time up in my favorite National Park last April and again a...

From a day out wandering the coastal hills in California this year...mid week, folks were just out enjoying life, just like the commercials they show on TV. I went Black and White with this one, I liked the removal of color. I also looked at increasing contrast, but felt that it was too much...

I took a break form the marathon editing weekend I had and went back to the images from my one day in Mount Rainier National Park last year. I get to go back to Seattle next month, and am hoping that weather permits me a chance to go back to the park...I know it won't be the magical experience...

Wandering the mud cracks in Death Valley was a completely new experience for me. The shapes were everywhere, finding the right ones to use as foreground elements was a true challenge. We had flagged some during scouting, and some we just stumbled upon while trying to find a place to shoot...

A couple months ago I took some time out from work while on the road and made the short drive out to Hunting Island in South Carolina. While not typically a sunset location, sunset was all I could take time for. I am infatuated with these coastal trees in the water, standing or otherwise...I...

The thread yesterday about sunset at Badwater had me thinking about the salt polygons in Badwater. So I went back to my images from my trip and finally edited one from sunrise in Badwater Basin. I had marked this one to edit, but had not really come up with a result I liked. I had to change my...

We were on vacation last week as a family, and that usually means very little camera time...but its good and dark down on the coast and if the skies allow it, I will try to shoot a little night sky when I am there. Two nights before I noticed that the moon was rising pretty late and might be...

My Landscape Photography took a back burner most of this year, I have been focusing on my commercial work...but a couple weeks ago a group of friends including my dad and I went to Roan Mountain for a few days free of the distractions of life...sadly the Rhododendron bloom that we were there...
