  • As you climb on Interstate 70 west from Denver you will quickly find yourself in the mountains. After climbing in elevation at the exit for Genesee you are treated to a view of the Rocky Mountains which always gets your attention. After a spring snow storm in Denver I headed up to this spot to capture the scene with snow covered mountains.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • One summer I met up with some friends near Marble, Colorado and spent a weekend exploring the high country in the area. The valley between the mountains were filled with wildflowers and we spent many hours photographing and exploring the area. As I was photographing some flowers below, I looked up and saw this scene. Two flowers above all the others with a crisp blue sky behind them. Moving just a little I start to capture this scene which was above me prior to moving onto the next area of flowers.

  • 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.

  • A couple of weeks ago, I was looking down at Clear Creek Canyon just prior to sunset and noticed the visible road. Later that evening I visited the same location and captured the scene under a full moon with some of the twilight still apparent on the horizon. This is a 30 second image with the moon light allowing the detail of the mountains to show in the image.

  • 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 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.

  • I headed up Clear Creek Canyon with a friend who is familiar with the area from his many trips here fishing. As we stopped at a parking area in the dark we climbed up higher to get a perspective over the road. Highway 6 can be busy with traffic heading to the casinos and other mountain locations west of Golden. However at times you can also find a lone car as in this image.

  • 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 a much different day in the Denver area today then yesterday. With cold temperatures and overcast skies I went looking for an image leading me up Lookout Mountain from Golden. Quickly I ended up in the fog which was quite thick at times. Upon reaching Windy Saddle, I stopped to see the view (which there was none) but soon noticed the frost on the trees in the area. Grabbing a long lens I photographed a tree nearby on the trail in the dwindling light just prior to sunset today. With the final day of November here, this is a reminder of winter just being around the corner.

  • In September 2008 while visiting Estes Park, I had planned to photograph around Bear Lake one morning. As the first hints of light appeared I was halfway up Bear Lake Road and realized I would be stuck in the clouds. Quickly thinking of some other options, I decided to risk a risk and change locations. Finding a pullout, I headed back down the road and went up Trail Ridge Road where at tree line I emerged from the clouds. Knowing Rainbow Curve was not too far away I made it to the turnoff with about 10 minutes to spare prior to sunrise.

  • From the back of the M/V Ocean Nova I watched the sunset as we sailed south through the a fjord in the Northeast Greenland National Park. The layers of the rocks and water itself helped ground the image to provide a sense of place with the orange sky during dusk which also lit up the only clouds I saw on this day. While this was in early September, it would only be a couple of months until this area is frozen over with sea ice for the winter.

  • As the day moves to afternoon at the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve the wind picks up. With the wind starting to blow those lines which were led to the distance start to be obscured with the blowing sand from the gusty wind. These winds are quite common at the sand dunes based on the location of the park in the Alamosa valley and is also how they initially formed.

  • Heading back from Steamboat Springs a few years ago I made a stop on the way back along the road leading to the Flat Top Wilderness area. With a setting of aspen trees and plenty of columbine underneath I photographed in the area for a while. During this time I also played with some motion on the camera while photographing the aspen which is the image in this photograph. Using a small aperture, I was able to get a slow shutter speed which allowed me to move the camera giving this effect. It took a little while to find the right looking aspens, but the result in something which is almost three dimensional in look all created in-camera.

  • During the summer of 2009 I hiked to Jasper Lake in the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area. Many of the wildflowers in the area were starting to peak which made a nice hike even more memorable. On the way down from the lake, I noticed the collection of Columbines right next to the trail and having a camera with me captured this image.

  • One summer on the way to Steamboat Springs I stopped at Rabbit Ears Pass to photograph the wildflowers which were in full bloom at that time.  While fighting off the mosquitos I found some paintbrush and using a shallow depth of focus allowed the other wildflowers to become out of focus in this image.

  • Sitting above the majority of the village of Vik is their church. Vik is the southernmost point in Iceland and is located just over a hundred miles from Reykjavik. As the church is on a hill, it is the safe location to go to if there is an eruption of Kalta. This volcano sits below a glacier which would melt and generate flooding in a short period of time along the coast. From the black sand beach I found this image of the church against the higher mountains of the area.

  • One November I was driving outside of Juneau, Alaska over lunch. As I headed out towards North Douglas I was awestruck by the mountains which appeared near Fritz Cove. Continuing down the road I waited until the island was in front of this peak and captured the image.

  • 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

  • Just before the Memorial Weekend holiday in 2009, I headed to Rocky Mountain National Park. It takes a while to plow Trail Ridge Road and open it once again for the season as it tops out over 12,000 feet, however usually by Memorial Day Weekend it is open again connecting Estes Park with Grand Lake. While they are working on clearing the road you can park and walk up the road, on this evening I did just that and after walking a few miles still didn't come across the plows just the work they left behind. A clean road and tall banks of snow.

  • In the spring of 2009 I made by way to Rocky Mountain National Park to photograph along Trail Ridge Road.  The road was still in the process of being cleared for the season and scheduled to open in less than a week.  After photographing up the road a couple of miles I made my way back to my car. Noticing the road leading towards Longs Peak I put down my tripod and captured the image.  With the long exposure of thirty seconds it also caught the city lights of Boulder and Denver lighting up the clouds in the distance.

  • I could have stayed in bed and continued dreaming, however I woke up early and headed to Rocky Mountain National Park and the Bear Lake area. After photographing around Bear Lake at sunrise I hike a little over a mile to Dream Lake. As usual there was a stiff wind, and once I got to Dream Lake it just started to howl. I didn't spend much time around the lake, as this was also a scouting mission for future trips towards Dream Lake later this winter.

  • 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.

  • I headed up to Central City just prior to sunset in Colorado on a November day. Once you get past the casinos of Blackhawk and Central City you will find the Central City Opera House which was built in 1878 during the mining boom in the area. This building is now a National Historical Landmark and quite busy in the during the summer festival. On this day is was just the street lights and remaining daylight in the area, however looking down the hill there was plenty of activity. As I was photographing the building a car passed by which showed the long duration of time the shutter was open taking this image at dusk.

  • 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.

  • Denver is known as the Mile High City. When I have talked to people flying into Denver for the first time they expect mountains all around being a mile high, however it is just situated at base of the Rocky Mountains. In the city itself there is a reminder of the altitude from the row of purple seats at Coors Field. However one particular marking is at the State Capitol where engraved on a step leading to the west entrance and looking towards Civic Center Park is the indicator of "One Mile Above Sea Level".

  • In the Flathead Valley of Montana the Mission Mountains sit to the east of the valley floor. This barn is quite known by photographers and capturing the scene with some nice light and snow in the mountains is what makes the image. As I headed up to the location from Missoula, I found a location which allowed me to position the crops for the summer growing season in the image as well.

  • The City Park Criterium is held each year in Denver's City Park. For a good portion of the day races of varying levels took place around the park on either the long or short course for a set duration of time. The long course provides a scenic view of the boat house, city and mountains as the cyclists speed past. Due to some late season snow there is still snow on the peaks of the higher mountains. As the cyclists went past I used a shutter speed to show the movement of these riders in the event as they passed the location.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • You never know what to expect when spring is around in Denver, it could be 70 degrees one day and snow the next.  With this variety this makes it a great time to photograph around the city as the variety in color and potential for the snow in the city or mountains remains. On this day I was photographing around City Park and decided to make my way towards the golf course where I found trees in full bloom. Using this as a foreground I framed the city of Denver behind and naturally the mountains as well for this image.

  • Sometimes your plans just don't happen as you hope they would. This was the case this evening when I hiked up Green Mountain in Lakewood to get a shot of Denver and the rising full moon in November 2009. I was in the place I wanted to be, however the clouds to the east prevented the moonrise from being visible at my location. I arrived to the location ahead of time in order to look at the options for the shot I was planning on that evening. In addition to scouting the area, I also had the chance to photograph and as the sun was setting over the Rocky Mountains a trail runner and his dogs came down the path.

  • During a recent trip to Skagway, I was walking around the town and near the harbor instead of looking up at the mountains in the area, I was looking down to see what the stillness of the morning was showing in the harbor. At first it was a reflection of a mountain in the distance I noticed, then it was the piers in the harbor which were lining up perfectly in order in this reflection image. Not too long after I took this image, a couple of seals poked their heads up in this same area and a small crowd gathered to watch them enjoy the morning in the harbor.

  • With some wildfires just southwest of Denver I headed out to City Park in early October to photograph the skyline at sunset. Sometimes the light smoke at the areas will give a little more orange during sunset than normal and this was the case with this image. From my position in City Park I was able to position the setting sun at the Wells Fargo Building (Cash Register) and the mountains. Taking the image towards the sun also allowed me to silhouette the skyline of the city as well as the mountain skyline in the distance.

  • I did a day trip to Seward and when there either a cruise to Kenai Fjords National Park or a visit to Exit Glacier should be on your list. I just had time for the latter so I headed to the only part of the park accessible by car. From the parking lot I walked along the trail and up the rocky path to see the glacier. Along the way there are signs showing the change in location of the glacier itself over the years. When heading down the trail I was treated to this view of the runoff from the glacier and the clouds hanging onto the mountains on a rainy Alaska day.

  • On a November evening I headed to North Douglas and a vantage point that I knew you could see the Chilkat Range in the distance. Once again under a moonlight evening I used a long exposure to capture the scene. The stars you see in this image do not do it justice for what I saw just a 15 minute drive from downtown Juneau.  From this vantage point the mountains are the boundary between the Lynn Canal and Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • At the end of the 2010 season I headed towards Coors Field to photograph around the stadium with the skyline in the background. With the stadium in lower downtown there are plenty of great views of it with the skyline of Denver and from inside you have a great vantage of the Rocky Mountains. Just under six months until the new season.

  • This was taken at Glacier National Park in Montana. Just for a change I transformed it to a black and white image which I think tells a little different story in comparison with the original image in color. With the rocks leading us out to the lake and onwards to the mountains it is not a mixture of colors but something which blends the scene together as one just after sunset on this evening.

  • Located in the southwest corner of Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay is a picturesque location on its own. On this morning I work up early to capture sunrise over the lake to find most overcast skies. Finding a position to capture the scene I was quickly treated to a burst of color over the mountains in the distance at the pre-dawn light which last just a couple of minutes.

  • From Point Loma in San Diego I captured this image tying in the city, San Diego Bay as well as the nearby mountains to the city. If you look carefully you can find some reminders of the Christmas season in the image on a nice evening late in the year.

  • After a week of clear skies the rain returned for most of the week. Those times the clouds roll into Juneau it does become interesting looking at the mountains around town. As I was looking towards the Mount Roberts tram on this day the lines of trees were showing for a little while in the fog allowing me to capture this image, however just a few minutes later the fog got thicker and this tree not far way disappeared from my view.

  • I was looking out the window at the clouds moving just prior to sunrise. I grabbed my camera and quickly headed down to the Gastineau Channel just as the sun was rising for the last day of November. With some clouds around the sky started to light up over some mountains with fresh snow on them from the rain earlier in the week. The colorful skies lasted for a little while before the overcast skies moved back in for the remainder of the day.

  • When you first get to the Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve you can focus on the large dunes which sit in front of the Sangre de Christo Mountains. However there are also the small details which you can find as well as in this image. A line in the sand winds it way into the dunes as the afternoon sun casts a shadow.

  • As I was walking past the State Capitol I decided to stop and capture an image of the sunset. I have used this perspective in the past couple of years to capture the change of seasons as well as the morning light against the Rocky Mountains. With the sun setting to the southeast this time of year it allowed a little of a gradient of the darkening evening skies framed by the architecture of the building itself.

  • It has been dry and clear most days in the last few weeks in Denver, with these clear skies I headed to City Park to see how this translated at sunset. From the golf course I watched the sun descend over the mountains and the orange and blue colors light become the backdrop over the city. While there has been quite a bit of growth in the city the last few years however from City Park it is not as noticeable from here as it is in other views of the skyline.

  • 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.

  • You may not know it but the entrance into Glacier National Park once went over the Belton Bridge as seen in this image. The Belton Bridge was built in 1920 and for a couple of decades was the method to get visitors over the Flathead River from Highway 2 into the park. Now this is a walkway over the river and a quiet location you can watch rafters pass below or just relax. During a winter visit I found pristine snow in this location which made for a fun place to photograph along the water. I found this spot looking back towards the bridge and the snow covered mountains in the distance.

  • 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.

  • Located about a mile east of Downtown Denver, City Park provides an opportunity to photograph the nature of the park, the skyline as well as the mountains. On this occasion, I headed to the City Park Golf Course to find a good spot to capture the scene. As I headed to a tee box on the golf course I found a tree which helped mirror the skyline which also helped frame the city.

  • 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 was heading home from the airport I noticed the minimal clouds over the mountains and thought it could be an interesting sunset over Denver as I heard had been the case the past couple of days. It was a quick turnaround from when I got home to making it out to City Park in Denver. Upon arriving at the park I found a location on the golf course (watching out for golfers on this warm November day) and waited for sunset to occur. At first it appeared the clouds may be a little better north of my location but just after that thought this occurred making it a great sunset over the Mile High City of Denver.

  • As I started on the trail from the Mount Roberts Tramway I was greeted with fields of wildflowers in mid-June. I started photographing the flowers as I headed further up the trail. As I made my way back towards the tram I found this grouping of lupine with a view of Douglas Island behind. Getting low to the flowers I found an angle which captured the flowers as well as some of the snow covered mountains.

  • If you have been to Juneau at all you know that it rains in this area of Alaska, yes it is a rainforest. So on an evening where there were clear skies I headed out to photograph, and on this evening I ran into the full moon rising over the mountains. I quickly looked for a foreground element to add for this image and found a pair of floatplanes out at the Juneau International Airport to help frame the image on this September evening.

  • As you walk through City Park there are great views of the city of Denver due to the proximity of the city to park. This is also true on the golf course, and on an early spring day I went to one of the more popular view of the city. For this image I decided to do something a little different and took the image as a vertical while also including the flag for the hole. The tall vertical of the flag worked well with two of the taller buildings in Denver in the background before heading beyond to the mountains.

  • The full moon is once again approaching and in the evening it is bright enough to experiment with some night photography. I headed to Golden, Colorado and photographed Lookout Mountain. If you have ever driven the road you know there are many twists and turns along the way. From a distance back I set-up my tripod and worked to capture the cars along the road just after sunset while letting the bright moon illuminate the mountain itself.

  • If you have driven Going to the Sun Road and stopped at Logan Pass you most likely have run into the mountain goats which hang out there in the summer. As I was walking with a group of friends to Hidden Lake from Logan Pass, we ran into a family of mountain goats. This little one stayed just for a little bit for some pictures prior to heading towards a location with less people, but not before saying Welcome to Glacier National Park.

  • A full moon which is always a great time to head out and photograph in the evening. Heading up to the valley in Juneau I started walking out on the airport trail when I looked behind me and noticed the snow on McGinnis Mountain. As the clouds moved in front of the mountain I composed an image and waited for some clearer skies. It didn't take too long for that to happen as I captured this 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.

  • On Friday February 27, 2009 the Rocky Mountain News published their final edition. The News has been a part of Denver for almost as long as Denver was a city and this final edition marked the end of an era. The final edition which I purchased was placed on the front porch to my house as this is how many people received the paper for many years. Denver is now a one newspaper town, and it will be a different landscape for print news.

  • Exploring one evening I went to the backside of Green Mountain and as I crossed C-470 I noticed the traffic flowing in the darkness of the night. Looking down at the road with my headlamp on I found an opening in the fencing and positioned my camera for some longer exposures in the area. It was just past the new moon so it was quite dark in the area with an occasional mountain biker passing me from their evening ride on the mountain. After spending some time at the location I thought of some new ideas to photograph in the area and will be back in the upcoming weeks to try those ideas out with my camera.

  • In February 2008 I headed to the Glacier area for a few days of photographing and ventured into the park some of those days. The park is quite different in the winter with just a small portion of road open in the park, and the number of people you see being counted on two hands however it is quite magnificent. This image was an afternoon at Lake McDonald looking towards Stanton Mountain on some fresh snow which wasn't hard to find at all, well minus the fresh powder with animal tracks I encountered just after this location.

  • 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.

  • On a recent trip to Maui, I made the trek up Haleakala for sunrise at 10,000 feet. There was a caravan of cars up the mountain in the early morning hours of my first morning in Hawaii. Using the time difference to my advantage, I went early in my trip as my body was still three hours ahead. Once getting to the top it was a little bit brisk with a constant wind as well, there is not a place to be wearing shorts and flip flops as you wait for the sun to rise. I picked out a location up a little path and set up my tripod starting to photography the stars as I waited for the sun to rise. The image for today is a pre-dawn shot and with a longer shutter speed was able to capture some of the movement of the clouds just below me. Once the sun rose it was time for a little exploring prior heading back to Kaanapali and some time at the pool.

This photograph was taken in 2008, which allows the reminder of the Rocky Mountain News to show on the white building across the park.

  • Eaglecrest Ski Area is about twenty minutes from downtown Juneau where I decided to head during the day. As I started on the road up the mountain, I noticed stretches of straight road as we left the fog. Near the crossing of Fish Creek I pulled the car over and captured this image where you could almost see blue sky which was a nice change after a few days in the fog. The ski resort is not yet open, but will do so in a few weeks for the season bringing more traffic to the road then what I saw on this day.
