  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When you arrive at the airport in Boise, there it states Welcome to the City of Trees as you take the escalator towards baggage claim. Prior to heading to the airport I stopped by Ann Morrison Park near the Boise River. As sunset was approaching the park was filled with people playing disc golf as well as leaves from the trees as the peak color had passed. Once again getting low to the ground to capture the grass and leaves I captured the image.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • The columns within Civic Center Park in Denver provide many opportunities to bring them into an image of the surrounding landscape. In this image I took advantage of this and brought the Colorado State Capitol into the frame. I have done this at the southern end of the park before but this was my first time finding it on the north end of Civic Center Park. Looking at the image it is possible to do this in the summer as well once the trees fill in with leaves.

  • Over the weekend a fair amount of spring snow fell over Denver. With the warm temperatures many trees were already showing their blossoms which made for a nice scene to photograph. I headed out in the City Park area with my camera to capture some of these scenes. As I walked through the park I quickly found trees with red or white blossoms as well as trees already showing their leaves for the summer season. These colors made for an interesting contrast to the black, grey and white normally you would find in the winter.

  • 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.

  • On a November day in 2012, the afternoon and evening in Denver brought a mixture of rain and snow to the area. With this in mind I headed to Washington Park in Denver to photograph a tree which I have been photographed for the past few years. As I approached the park I noticed the moisture on the ground, the leaves and path leading into the park. After photographing around the lake I made my way to this area at dusk and spent some time in a new location at Washington Park.

  • Grant Humphreys Mansion is located near Governors Park and as I found out after the fact the mansion is haunted. When taking the image I was thinking color all the way with the nice blue of the sky, green of the grass as well as some leaves in the tree; however with the nice contrast a change to black and white worked even better for this result.

  • 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.

  • As I parked my car at Sloans Lake, I had a plan to head towards the lake. This was until I noticed the sun rising above the trees on the eastern side of the park and some frost still on the grass and leaves. Using a low perspective with a leaf for the foreground I captured this image with a different angle of view.

  • Denver experienced an April snowfall which nicely mixed with the start of spring. Throughout Denver you could see snow on new blossoms or leaves which had already started to show especially with the mild March. I headed to familiar spot to photograph the tree in Washington Park which I first encountered almost four year ago in similar conditions.

  • Spring in the Mile High City. This is when the leaves start to come back to life as shown on the trees outside the center on Speer. With the snowiest months in the Denver in March and April you never know when spring will truly arrive though.

  • One morning while walking around Sloans Lake in Denver at sunrise I noticed the shape of this tree in the distance. As I approached the tree the sun started to rise over the horizon fitting in perfectly to the scene and providing for the starburst look using a small aperture as well as the leaves on the tree to provide the effect while shooting into the sun.

  • I took a quick walk along the harbor and Gastineau Channel this morning prior to flying out. It had been quite foggy during the week but on this day the clouds did lift a little and even a sucker hole or two appeared.<br />
<br />
The harbor is an integral part of Juneau as during the summer months thousands of people arrive daily to visit the city from the various cruise ships which stop here. This image is looking at one of the transitions from the harbor to downtown and then onward to Douglas Island on a quiet November day in Juneau.

  • In early July I headed to Cheesman Park to capture sunset over Denver. I had photographed from this location before and had the idea of the shot I would like in my mind. Leaving my house it appeared a storm may be brewing and could obstruct the vision I had for that evening, however I pushed myself and got to the location just after sunset hoping to catch dusk over the city. The shot I got here I was happy with for the evening, however I still stuck around and next week we will see the change which took place over the next thirty minutes on that early July evening.

  • As we approached Sawyer Glacier in Tracy Arm from the top of the boat I captured the above scene. When we left Juneau it was overcast, and upon leaving Gastineau Channel it was quite foggy. Heading into Tracy Arm the conditions started to clear which provided many scenes like this throughout the day. The ice in the water is from the Sawyer Glacier which is just around the corner in this image.

  • For a few days I was staying near the Prudential Center in Boston and was intrigued by the facade of the building. Just before leaving town I used a long lens to zoom into the building and catch the details of the patterns which is on this currently second tallest building in Boston. From street level I positioned some of the non-repeating detail into the upper section of the frame and captured this image of the building.

  • Setting up at dusk one evening in September I waited for traffic to pass by my spot on the side of the bridge. The bridge is located at the west side of Glacier National Park as you cross the Middle Fork of the Flathead River. Being so late in the evening, there were few cars and those were leaving the National Park after spending the day enjoying the many offerings you can find at Glacier.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I have captured sunrise over Denver from Sloans Lake many times. On this morning with the difference in temperature between the water and the air steam formed right at sunrise but soon burned off as the sun climbed in the sky. Just as I was about to leave this location, a flock of birds flew into the frame for a few seconds which I was able to capture.

  • 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.

  • I headed to Sloans Lake for some afternoon light on a November afternoon. First stop was photographing the skyline across the lake with a steady breeze blowing. Prior to leaving the lake I checked out some other areas and found some tall grasses backlit blowing in the wind. Letting the sun wash out some of the scene I photographed these with a hint of the Rocky Mountains in the distance prior to the sun dropping behind the mountains to end another day in Denver.

  • I headed to a park I have passed many times while traveling on Speer Blvd but never realized what it consisted of as I sped on past the park. Alamo Placita Park is one of those parks which people have seen, but never have stopped more so as it is a small neighborhood park. Even the City and County of Denver website has limited information about the park itself. Walking around the park the image I wanted to walk away with was easily the tie in to Speer and the limited knowledge of the park. As it was near sunset I first thought about the lights of cars passing by the park, but seeing this set of stairs leading into the park this was a good place to start with the traffic taking the background. At first I was going to leave this as a color image, but once the sun set the color of the stone was changed with the various color temperatures of the nearby lights so I converted it to a black and white image which I feel helps tell the story of the lesser known park as well.

  • Visiting Butchart Gardens in Victoria, British Columbia during a vacation a few years ago I spent much time with my macro lens getting close with many of the roses and other flowers in the gardens. Just prior to leaving I came across a group of flowers in a quiet part of the park and spent close to thirty minutes just on these flowers. With the macro lens it is possible to get a shallow depth of field (having a few items in focus) which is what I explored in this photograph.

  • I headed up to Dinosaur Ridge to scout and take some images of a scene I first noticed a few years ago. The clouds were starting to move in so I wasn't sure if the weather would cooperate however you never know unless you are there. Once I found the location again I searched nearby for better areas and set-up my tripod be aware of small cactus in the area as well. As the sun set over the mountains I worked on some long exposures including the one in this post, leaving me better prepared as I head back to the area this spring.

  • As I was walking along Ocean Beach in San Francisco, I headed up the hill towards the Cliff House, from here you can look directly down on the beach. This is where I noticed the beach and water coming together and also leaving a reminder of the prior wave coming onto the beach during low tide. Using a telephoto lens I was able to zoom in close to the beach and waited from the next wave too come onshore giving three distinct variations of color.
