  • While in Montreal during the fall there was plenty of fall foliage in full display. The various colors on the trees and ground were quite impressive. As I explored the city I came across a pond with leaves which had fallen into the water. With the moving water I used a slow shutter speed to capture a little of the movement of the leaf against the rocks on the bottom.

  • One autumn I was in the Steamboat Springs area and headed north towards Steamboat Lake State Park. As I got to the lake and saw the color towards Hahn's Peak I knew this was a place to stop and photograph. From the lake reflection, with a boat on it, to the fields across the lake with livestock all the way up Hahn's Peak with a hint of snowfall it was just a perfect scene that afternoon.

  • After an early season snowfall in the mountains the fall colors are given an extra element of fresh snow on the peaks. It had been a couple of days since a few inches of snow had fallen amongst the trees leaving just a reminder of the snow on the mountains with a crisp blue sky.

  • It is always fun to head to the mountains and capture the fall colors, but also at that time it is fun to try new techniques to capture the season as well. Hiking back from a lake I came across an area of snow with freshly fallen leaves. I started to capture this area but then thought of using a fisheye lens which another photographer with me had in their bag. Using the fisheye lens and a tripod to extend out the camera over the area of snow I was able to capture this image.  As you can see the fisheye brings a different perspective to the image.

  • As I navigated the roads near Marble, Colorado I came across a lake with calm water. This provided a great surface to capture the reflection of the Rocky Mountains in full fall colors. Just a day prior some early snow fell in the area which still was on the higher peaks in the distance.

  • Fall is definitely in the air in Denver and the color is also visible along Speer Blvd. The last couple of days while driving along Speer Blvd I have noticed the changing leaves in the city with some of the trees already empty of leaves there are plenty of trees in peak color this fall. This afternoon I decided to walk around this area to capture some images of the trees near the Colorado Convention Center. Depending on the weather in the next couple of days this scene could be quite different come midweek.

  • Located in Western Montana, Missoula is a little then the eastern part of the state. While living there for a few months during the fall I hiked up part of the hill to the east of the city to capture the fall colors changing around the University of Montana. Over the course of a couple of weeks it was a morning routine to go to this spot and photograph and after a while some of the regulars would stop and chat. There were a few locations I photographed from to show the clock tower with different backgrounds.

  • During a brief snow in Denver I headed towards Civic Center Park to photograph. As the snow tapered off the foothills started to become visible in the distance. With the fresh snow on the grass and the fall color in the leaves I found myself on the capitol steps to capture this image west through Civic Center Park towards the City and County of Denver building.

  • On a fall afternoon in Denver I headed out to City Park to photograph at sunset. Being just past the autumnal equinox the light was still behind the city skyline as I waited for sunset. Taking advantage of this afternoon light I composed by scene and let the light flow into the background which provided a source to backlight the city as well as the trees within the park.

  • It is not uncommon to see snow in the fall around Denver even in October. This was one of those days when a light dusting of snow fell in Denver overnight greeted with clear skies in the morning. Getting close to the ground I focused on the grass an using a shallow depth of field put the trees in the background out of focus. This allows the viewer to have a sense of place but puts the attention on the snow in the fresh spring growth.

  • There is a tree in Denver's Washington Park which I have photographed a handful of times. I was thinking of photographing this on my way home from picking up some film which was just processed. The late afternoon light was lighting up the remaining fall colors on a nice November day, and as I explored the different angles of the tree I decided to include the sun in this photograph as it had not been possible on the other days at Washington Park.

  • The Colorado State Capitol dome stands against a deep blue sky and with changing trees in the foreground. Situated on a hill there is the extra hint of power of the building as you look up climbing the steps to the building.

  • Fall brings nice warm days which allowed me to walked up to Berkeley Park. At the park some of the tennis courts were resurfaced earlier in the fall from the traditional green courts which are common in most parks. I noticed leaves lying around the court and looked for one which was on a line. On the first court I found a leaf which was on the baseline and sort of on it's own versus some of the other compositions I looked into photographing. The image of this lone leaf which later in the afternoon has probably blown across town in the wind.

  • As I spent the fall in Missoula, Montana I had climbed the hill next to the University of Montana many morning to photograph the fall colors. On a Saturday I made my way towards the M itself and climbed a little beyond. It was here I came across a couple taking in the football game as their dog took a little nap.

  • I have walked past the Governor's Mansion in Denver many times and have always noticed the lines of the fence which surrounds the location. One fall the colors were vivid still from the last fall color in the city. Using a shallow depth of field I focused on the brick post and let the lines lead to the color in the background.

  • During late September of 2006, I was exploring the Colorado mountains and the fall colors. It was quite unexpected but a heavy snowfall also occurred around this time blending the seasons of fall and winter together. As I navigated the mountains in Central Colorado, I started to look at the landscape of the early winter and how the light of September fell onto the mountains. Normally the light we see with the first snowfall is a little later in the season and lights up the mountains in a different manner.

  • As the snow started to fall on Christmas Eve, I headed out to capture the season with some fresh snow in Denver. Making multiple stops on that evening I ended up at the Daniels & Fisher Tower along the 16th Street Mall and positioned myself in a location to capture the lighted tree as fresh snow continued to fall in the city.

  • Just after Thanksgiving a good amount of snow fell in Juneau, and last night some more started to fall. With camera in hand I headed over to the Governors Mansion to photograph the holiday lights with some fresh snow falling. The mansion itself is in a residential area not too far from the capitol building.

  • The Colorado State Capitol dome stands against a deep blue sky. The gold leaf which is on the dome adds to the scene as the sunlights makes is shine on this fall afternoon.

  • Under a fall sky the Colorado State Capitol building rises from the shrubs and trees which surrounds the building. The lower sunlight helps reflect the gold leaf on the dome itself and highlights the image amongst the changing trees.

  • A couple of years ago I photographed the roller coaster at Lakeside Amusement Park after a dusting of snow. Today I was in the area and thought about photographing the same scene without the snow. It was a nice overcast fall afternoon which allowed for some even light on the location as I prepared to take the image once again for Thirty Days. For the next few months the park will remain quiet, however soon summer will be back and the Cyclone will be traveling these tracks once more.

  • On a fall evening I ventured to a location above Clear Creek Canyon just prior to sunset. As I watched the sunset over the Rocky Mountains I started photographing the traffic heading through the canyon on a full moon evening. As the traffic made its way through the canyon below the light from the moon illuminated the landscape as the clouds moved through the evening dusk. With a 30 second exposure I was able to capture the movement of the clouds and start to also include in the image the stars as the day ended.

  • I was in Washington DC during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. I was a there a little past the peak but there was still plenty to capture along the Tidal Basin as well as around the city. It was a little windy one of the days I was there and noticed the movement of the water in the basin. With the cherry blossoms starting to fall off from the wind as well there were areas in which the blossoms were gathering. I pointed my camera towards these areas and let the motion from the water make the image.

  • This was also taken a few summers ago in Glacier National Park and not far from where I saw the baby mountain goat. Looking to the east on the Hidden Lake trail in mid-July there were still patches of snow around Logan Pass and the trail took us over some of those patches as well. Now that fall is here the park will start to close down at the higher elevations as the snow will soon start to fly in northern Montana.

  • 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.

  • Driving down a dirt road outside of Missoula, Montana on a fall morning I passed through an area of fog. As I emerged from the fog, I noticed a small barn in a field on the left side of the road. I stopped to photograph the small barn and when walking up the road for a different angle noticed an area by a gate where you could look down the length of the fence. As I composed this image, the early morning light started to glow as it passed through the fog providing the magically light found in this image. Prior to leaving Missoula I would visit the spot a handful of times but was never able to recreate this morning.

  • When visiting Napa in the fall of 2008 besides the traditional photographs of wine country, I also wanted to explore the area in a different manner as well. I tried a few concepts I was thinking about and just by playing with motion decided to use this in a few images. This motion gave the images some more depth and the image also takes on a different meaning. This image was captured at 1/45 second, using a 70mm lens hand held.

  • In late summer 2009 I took part in a Team in Training event which included a final hike in Rocky Mountain National Park.  As we reached the summit of Hallet Peak, this was the view to the west as a storm quickly began to approach the area.  Noticing this we quickly begun our trek back to the trailhead but not quick enough as some precipitation started to fall including a little snow.

  • It was an interesting morning weather wise as some change is in the air. Over the city there was clouds but as you looked out towards the mountains it was blue sky. Walking around Civic Center Park I headed up the steps of the Colorado State Capitol and was treated with a nice view of the mountains with still some fall color in the area.

  • A spring storm is not uncommon in Denver and as most people left work to get home prior to the bulk of the snow fall, I headed towards Union Station to photograph the accumulating wet snow. The challenge in this image was the wind as my camera faced in a northern direction. With the wind howling, the vertical snow would start to build up on the lens which forced me to turn the camera and clean it after an image or two was captured. After nearly an hour in the conditions I ended up calling it a night and left to head home and thaw out.

  • In early January 2009 snow fell overnight leaving a nice winter scene. Seeing the snow start to fall on Saturday evening, I planned to wake up early to get out to Washington Park prior to sunrise and see how it had been transformed. It was quiet in the park and as I headed to a tree which I found almost a year ago a slight chill was present but the beauty of the snow covered surroundings quickly made it go away. I photographed this tree once again from the original position and prior to heading elsewhere in the park I decided to try a different view of the tree from what I had photographed before providing the image Winter in Washington Park.

  • It had been clear in Juneau for quite a few days in a row so I took advantage of this and headed to Sandy Beach to photograph the Treadwell Mine Pump House. In the winter sunrise will happen down the Gastineau Channel which allows the sunrise color to fall behind the pump house which I captured just prior to the start of winter. On this morning, low tide had just occurred at 1.2′ and it was starting to head towards the 20.1′ just after lunch.<br />
<br />
The Pump House is one of the few remaining structures of Treadwell and is a well known site for those familiar with the Juneau area.

  • While waiting for sunrise at Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park during the fall a light layer of fog filled the valley. With the sounds of elk in the distance we waiting for the sun to rise. However when it did rise this is not what we were expecting. The fog diffused the sun and the rays turned orange. Turning the camera a little I was able to position myself with a tree between myself and the sun for this image as the sunlight filled the park

  • While driving a few years ago I was waiting for a train to cross and noticed a small reservoir northwest of Denver. The Jim Baker Reservoir is 1.4 miles around the entire lake and there were plenty of people out enjoying the nice fall day in the area. I started with photographing some rocks in the lake, but it wasn't until I was heading back to the car that I noticed the reflection of this tree in the lake.

  • As I walked down a trail in Juneau in late fall, I looked down and noticed in an area the frost still on the leaves late into the day. It was a week of cold temperatures as the lake by Mendenhall Glacier had frozen over in just a couple of days. As I slowed down to check out the area I looked for some some full leaves to photograph and capture the frost as a first sign of winter in southeast Alaska.

  • An October snow storm brought close to a foot of snow to Denver. As this was in the middle of fall there were still plenty of leaves on the trees. A tree near the State Capitol was full of color which feel onto the fresh snow and brought the contrast of the seasons into light.

  • This is the brick walkway leading to Coors Field from the direction of Union Station along Wynkoop. Taken in the fall of 2009 while lying on the bricks in order to get the perspective. As the summer days come along this walkway will be quite busy with thousands of people taking in a baseball game in lower downtown.

  • Walking around Denver this morning on a cool clear morning I was looking for something I have not noticed before while working around in the city. I found there is plenty of items which fall into this category but not just with the new construction happening at this time. This morning I noticed the light was mostly straight down the the numbered streets in the downtown area (if you are not familiar with downtown Denver they run on a SE/NW direction).<br />
<br />
I took advantage of this direct light on Union Station and other buildings, but as I was walking back towards my car I spotted the strong sun on the above image. With street construction in the area, I was able to stand in a recently paved area which was still closed to traffic and capture this image.

  • I was driving home on a November afternoon and as I approached Sloans Lake noticed the sunset over my shoulder and how the rays were filtering through and lighting up the sky. It was the area I was thinking of photographing on this day and I quickly made my way to a point on the east side of the lake facing the mountains. With the sunset standing out people who were walking around the lake stopped to take it in as well getting a special treat on this nice fall day.

  • Along the Front Range it is not uncommon to get a late season snowfall and as I watched the snow fall from my office window on May 1st I grabbed my camera and headed towards the park. My initial plan was to photograph at the south end of Washington Park, but as I passed by the lake and noticed the steam rising the plan quickly changed. I photographed around the lake and after almost completing a loop found this tree. By this time the snow had started to turn to rain letting the grass of spring show through the wet snow.

  • The motion of the water can be mesmerizing. After a day of sailing in the Inside Passage I started to capture the ripples of the waves left behind as the Malaspina headed south towards Bellingham, Washington. Using a shallow depth of field (in the not so shallow waters), let me put the further ripples slightly out of focus as they fall out of the scene and once again flatten from the presence of the ship.

  • In Colorado there is always excitement for the first snow of the season in the city, even if it has been snowing in the mountains for quite a while. For the 2008-2009 snow season, the first snow was not until mid-November which is quite late. A few weeks earlier I captured the fall colors around the Governor's Mansion and thought it would be a good comparison to photograph around there during this late snowfall once again working the lines into the image.

  • On the way back from being out I stopped by Rocky Mountain Lake Park and walked near the lake. With some nice afternoon sunlight and the change of seasons on a nice fall day in Denver, I photographed near the lake.

  • Lassen National Park is located a few hours north of Sacramento. The park contains the southern-most volcano in the Cascade Range which is Lassen Peak. Throughout the park you will find still active mud pots and other types of activity. I stopped in the park in late 2009 while on a road trip from Sacramento to Denver with a friend. Even in the short time we stopped at the park it was an interesting site to see in the fall and is on my list of places to visit again.

  • Just before Christmas a sizable snow storm moved through the front range of Colorado. As the snow started to fall I decided to head out and photograph in an area I had not been during a storm which was downtown Littleton Colorado. The above image was taken as I arrived in the area, and after spending a little more than an hour in the snow I left with a few inches more of snow on the ground as it picked up intensity during the time I was there. This made for an interesting drive home, but it was all worth it being out in the conditions taking pictures.

  • One evening I was photographing "behind" Green Mountain in Lakewood, which is the area along C-470. My goal that evening was to capture some long exposures of the freeway traffic, however I also did some long exposures towards the city. This image is the result, which is Green Mountain in the foreground as the lights of Denver illuminate the sky allowing use to see the defined ridges of the mountain. Rising above the stars appear on a cool fall evening in Colorado.

  • Fall is just about here in Denver, however with the recent rains Civic Center Park is still in full bloom. The full bloom on a clear September day allowed me to capture the flowers and the City and County of Denver Building. In the next couple of weeks this will start to change and the city will start to remove the flowers from the many parks in the City of Denver.

  • On a warm November day, I headed to the Colorado State Capitol for a tour over the lunch hour. It was a nice fall day in the Mile High City which made it a perfect time to climb the nearly 100 steps to the dome. Walking outside provided a great view of Denver and the front range in the distance.

  • Spring snowstorms provide some great contrast in the Denver of winter and spring. Walking around City Park I found this group of trees showing their blossoms as the snow provided a winter covering on them. With the snow continuing the fall it wasn't long until the trees were fully covered in heavy snow on their branches.  This snow didn't last long as the temperatures started to warm up again during the week quickly making the snowstorm a memory to look back at in pictures and memories.

  • This afternoon was a nice fall day in Denver with plenty of blue sky around the city. As I was crossing the new pedestrian bridge near Union Station I noticed a sense of patterns on the ground and in front of me which stopped me in my tracks. This was the first time walking across this new bridge which opened up recently with the completion of the Union Station renovation.

  • I found my walking around Washington Park in Denver during Fall. As I neared Smith Lake in the park I noticed a lone leaf in the water. The wind was providing some ripples on the lake and was also slowly moving the leaf. I found my angle to capture the image (while also staying dry) and used the ripples to fill in the rest of the frame for this image.

  • It was a record high of 84 degrees on Sunday. It is spring in Denver. Yes, it snowed on Monday night into Tuesday producing scenes like this around the city. When I woke up Tuesday morning and looked out the window I knew I would be heading to Washington Park with my camera to photograph the tree I first found in a similar scenario on May 1, 2008. I did photograph that tree but decided to explore the park for a little while as the wet snow continued to fall. The tree above is one I first found in early 2008 and went looking for it in the snow. It was closer to my car then I remembered, which threw me off a little bit but after spending some time looking for a good angle created this image prior to heading home.

  • As I was walking across the Auraria Campus during the Spring an earlier dusting of snow had stopped falling and the temperatures were starting to rise. This will any snow which really accumulated on the sidewalk to melt. I had just walked down this path when I turned around to notice the scene of trees lining the walk with a hint of fresh leaves on the trees.

  • A weekend snow brought me out to Cheesman Park one year to photograph around the park. As I walked through the park in the fresh snow it was pretty quiet with the exception of some dogs out in the park playing in the fresh powder. Making my way through the park I found a group of trees which sparked my interest. The falling snow helped hide the background in the park which let me capture just the trees as the focal element in this image with fresh snow.

  • As the Skoga River approaches the coast it drops 200 feet off the cliffs which were once the southern shoreline of Iceland, the coast is now about 3 miles south. As with many waterfalls in Iceland you can get quite close to the falls either by walking along the river or taking the steps to the top. Approaching the waterfall I noticed areas of grass to the side and headed in that direction to capture the waterfall. Being just a couple of hours from Reykjavik this is a popular place to visit but it is hard to tell that by using the field as a foreground element.

  • On Christmas in 2014 I headed out to Golden just after the snow started falling the afternoon. Being at some friends not far from Golden I was almost there already so it seemed to be a good decision. The drive out to Golden was quite interesting as the snow was coming down fast at times with the wind blowing. Upon arriving in Golden I was treated to a fresh blanket of snow and plenty of holiday lights. As I was exploring some lights in the distance on a tree I found the bridge and later this vantage point along Clear Creek which was a great spot to capture a snowy Christmas in the Denver area.

  • It isn't uncommon at all for it to snow in Colorado early and late in the typical winter months, in fact they are some of our snowiest months. With the storms at this time of year it is a wet heavy snow with plenty of moisture leading to large flakes falling. During this instance of one of those storms I found myself at Civic Center Park and as I looked towards the dome of the Colorado State Capitol noticed the snowflakes almost blocking the view of the dome. One of the biggest challenges photographing in the snow is to keep the lens clear of snow, which becomes harder when pointing the camera upwards. I was able to limit the amount of snow on my lens to capture this image of the capitol building.

  • I have found there are many different elements in Civic Center Park which I have been able to use to build upon a scene which I capture. This image is indeed one of those as snow falls in the Denver which is framed by the Greek Amphitheater in the park. The position of the structure helps tell the story of the snow with the backdrop of the growing City of Denver.

  • February this year was the start of the snow falling on a regular basis into the spring. Heading to Cheesman Park I found plenty of people out in the snow with their dogs, most likely the dogs enjoying the conditions more than those standing in the falling snow with windy conditions.

  • During the initial snow on Friday February 3rd, I made my way to Sloans Lake which is west of downtown. Walking around in the snow I headed to an area of trees when I saw this one along the lake. The tree next to the water with the snow still falling is what grabbed my attention. One of the items to watch while photographing in the snow is where you are walking as the trail you make could end up being in the next picture you want to take. For this image it was not an issue, and I was also careful just in case I wanted to head back later to photograph some more.

  • It was a November morning with some rain in Juneau. I headed back to Douglas but this time Sandy Beach.<br />
<br />
It was just past low tide so there was still plenty of open area to walk around on the beach with the rain falling. After about a quarter mile I reached the Pump House which brought water into the mining area of Treadwell. Looking down the channel there was nice layering as I photographed between the pilings and the line between them for drying fish.

  • Auke Recreation is about 15 miles north of downtown Juneau. On a rainy evening I headed to the beach on the shoreline which is part of the Tongass National Forest. As I stood along the beach the rain was coming and going which also brought the cloud deck low at times. This small island just off the coast was coming and going in the rain and clouds. Working with a longer shutter exposure to soften the water motion I focused on the island while protecting the lens from some of the rain which was falling.
