Mountains and Lakes
This is the Court of the Patriarchs in Zion National Park. One of my favorite places in the park, the three towers absolutely dominate the scene. It's a great place to watch sunrise or sunset, and this is the latter. It was extremely windy and a fleeting moment of beautiful light
This has been one of my favorite places to visit during our visit to Arizona this year. This place is especially beautiful after it has rained and the small puddles reflect Cathedral Rock. I was there for multiple sunsets and sunrises each time it would rain in the hopes of getting some action in the skies to complement the awesome Cathedral Rock monument and foreground. As luck would have it, I never came back feeling that I had achieved the killer shot I was hoping for. Eventually, as the weeks went by and March rolled on, the opportunity for a Milk Way shot also arose but as luck would have it, the skies turned overly cloudy and the reflection ponds started drying out. I finally did get my chance one night and the skies cleared up briefly. Most of the water puddles had dried out but this one was still holding on to its water. The sky is composed of 10 shots stacked with Starry Milk Way Stacker. The foreground was captured during the blue hour.
Good Morning at Torres del Paine
Los Cuernos del Paine playing Peek a Boo with beautiful reflections in the water. Moments later a heavy fog came through and the scene vanished away.
This is a 5 shot panorama taken in Torres del Paine during a beautiful sunset.
This image was capture during our drive on the Glenn Highway at Mentasta Lake. It had been raining heavily during the afternoon so we stopped for the day at a pullout besides the lake. The rain stopped briefly so I poked my head out wary of the mosquitoes that were hanging out in the thousands. The lighting was really inviting so I donned my mosquito net and stepped out warily. The scenery was so good that I momentarily forgot the bugs swarming around me and started shooting feverishly. The image did require a fair bit of cleanup during post processing due to a number of the critters flying in front of the lens.
It was a beautiful and cool morning at Schwabacker Landing. It was amazing how many photographers were lined up to shoot that morning. Everyone one was so intent on setting up their equipment that no one noticed the moose passing by.
The Three Sisters at Bow River
An early morning capture of the Three Sisters from Bow River. I think I like the B&W version better for this shot.
The Salto Grande River reflects the beautiful sunset light towards Paine Grande
A long exposure early afternoon rendered cloud streaks over Cuernos Principal and Cerro Paine Grande
One of my favorite evenings at Glacier National Park. The conditions were just spectacular with the strong air glow and ever changing clouds surrounding Mt Clements mountain. The flowing water from the creek created an amazing ambience.
The weather had been bright and sunny almost every day since we got to Bishop. Finally, as a weather system came by the skies turned dark, overcast and gloomy. We finally got a break during the fleeting moments of sunset when the sky color matched the beautiful fall colors in the Eastern Sierra.
“May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day. May songbirds serenade you every step along the way. May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue. And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.” - Irish Blessings quotes
Goose Island Sunrise
This image is from my last year's visit to Crater Lake around late-June while there still a huge amount of snow and with most of the roads still closed. This Milky Way image from one of my favorite locations at Crater Lake. Not sure why it took me a year to process and upload. The MW is comprised of 10 images stacked in Starry Milky Way Stacker and the foreground was taken during blue hour.
Several days of stormy weather ended with fresh snow added to the landscape. Early morning light graced Cerro Fitz Roy. The majestic mountain reflected in the small glacial stream presented a spectacular display of nature
