  • This past weekend I once again spent some time exploring the plains just outside of Denver.  As I was driving along I noticed an aircraft on final approach to Denver International Airport.  Looking down the road I had noticed the contrast of the two fields ahead and now the plane overflying one of those fields which got me thinking.  Waiting for some more aircraft to arrive I positioned myself at the edge of these fields and photographed as a Frontier Airlines airplane neared landing at the airport.

  • Denver International Airport marked twenty years of operations in 2015. This was also the year the new Westin hotel at the airport opened at the south end of the terminal. On a fall evening, I took advantage of clear skies to capture an image of the airport at sunset. From a vantage point on the east side of the airport I waited for the sunset and the lights to come on in the main terminal building. In the distance are the Rocky Mountains and on some of the higher peaks fresh snow blowing with the high winds.

  • Earlier in the spring I was scouting the area around the airport and noticed an aircraft on final approach to Denver International Airport. Looking down the road I had noticed the contrast of the two fields ahead and now the plane overflying one of those fields which got me thinking. I headed back to this location to capture some departures on this day as the aircraft quickly climbed over the Colorado plains.

  • With the warmer winter weather the past few weeks I headed out towards the airport. It was an evening when aircraft were taking off to the north which allowed me to get a little closer then when I did a similar image in 2008 south of the airport. Waiting for the aircraft is always the most challenging part as you are not always certain where the aircraft will turn as the frame is open for a long exposure. This image is a thirty second exposure as the plane starts to turn to the east just after take-off. With just some clouds in the sky the stars are visible as they begin to show their motion with this length of exposure.

  • On a November evening, I headed out to the plains of Colorado to photograph. Noticing that the wind was blowing out of the south I found myself south of airport to photograph takeoffs. It took a little while for a handful of aircraft to depart in that direction, but after a while I was able to capture some images of the lights moving through the night sky.

  • If you have been by Denver International Airport in the past couple of years you have seen the new Westin Hotel being built at the south end of the main terminal building. Now that the windows are in the hotel I have noticed the nice reflection the hotel provides of the "peaks" of the airport. While waiting for luggage to arrive over the holiday travel season I headed outside with my camera to capture this reflection. There is still some work to be done on this new Westin Hotel at the airport, but we now have a good idea of what the landscape at the airport will look like moving forward.

  • With the end of Daylight Saving Time this weekend this is a great time of year for evening photography and with that I headed out towards the airport area with my camera. When I first arrived the wind was blowing, when I left it was howling as a front prepares to head into Colorado. Just before heading out this evening I grabbed my fisheye lens which I haven't used in a little while and wanted to see what I could come up with using this speciality lens. I parked under the arrivals for Denver International and decided to point the camera towards the fast moving clouds above me capturing this image with a thirty second exposure.

  • I headed out to the plains for some images just after sunset near the airport. My plan was to find a good location with a view of the mountains and then see what the approach pattern was for the evening. The area which I selected did not disappoint nor did the flow of traffic from multiple airlines at that time of night allowing for fine tuning of the process prior to the light disappearing, the flow of traffic slowing and the temperatures beginning to drop.

  • A single aircraft departs and begins an easterly turn on a cool December evening south of Denver International Airport. With some high clouds in the sky, the light from the airport illuminates the bottoms to provide contrast. This image is a 45 second exposure, from about four miles south of the airport. The solid white lines are the landing lights, while the dots on the path is the beacon light.

  • On an evening a few years ago south of the airport photographing airplanes departing, I changed my focus to the road I was parked along as I photographed some of the traffic which was passing by me. It was a clear winter evening which allowed the stars to be visible as I photographed and it wasn't until later that I noticed the similar pattern in the sky as the car was traveling past me in this image.
