I’ve been camping on the beach at Padre Island National Seashore going on a week now, and I finally had a reason to drag my gear out and warm it up. I was gifted a beautiful moonrise tonight and I have an image to share. Cheers!

Here’s my 2021 crop of keepers #1 This was an image I spent the afternoon setting up, I wanted to center the rock over Polaris, which I of course had to adjust for as it got dark, and its the first time I used my new 10mm lens. #2 This is near the 50 year trail system in Catalina, AZ. I...

Hey All, I’m down at Organ Pipe hiding from the weather (for the most part) and there have been some gorgeous sunsets, one of which I slept through accidentally and had no time to get my gear out and get setup etc. it was probably the reddest sunset I’ve ever seen! Oh well, I guess you’ll...

Hey All, Just left White Sands a couple days ago, I was really hoping to be out there at night, but they kick ya out of there at 6:00.. lame. This is what I came away with from that evening before having to slow jog back to the van in enough time to get out before they close the gate...

Howdy all, Its raining here in the AZ desert, so I’m spending some time in the van reviewing old shots to process. Here’s one from my Mesa Arch arch visit a couple years back that I’m quite happy with. Cheers Aaron

Not much of a takeaway from Badwater, but kind of a cool photo since it contains Jupiter, Venus, the Milky Way (albeit very faint) and a meteor.

This is my keeper from my visit to the Alabama hills, had a fun time, though it was jaw-dropping to see just how many people are packed in there these days! Very different than the last time I was there three years ago. This is 28 30-second exposures stacked for the star trails and then two...

I think this is the last of the Mesa Arch archive digging :) Its good to have something to do on these slow days on the fire

Hi All, I’ve spent my summer with a wildland fire team, we’re on fire number five so far. I get a little slack time every now and then so I decided to do some archive searching, always fun. Anywho I found this and decided it was ripe for a B&W conversion. I’ll be spending the year...

Another from the archives, and one that needed a fresh process. I decided to go B&W here as I wasnt pleased with the color palette, and I really like black and white. If you read my previous post, I processed this shot in the manner described.

So hey, I thought I’d share a technique I developed to process my water shots in particular, but it really works for me with most scenes. We’ve been conditioned over time to grab that clarity/structure slider and bump it to the right, as well as contrast, saturation, and then sharpen after maybe...

I’ve been sifting through more or less every image I’ve ever taken seeing whats there,(725GB ) and thinning the herd. I ran across this image that I took in 2005. I’m glad I had the RAW file because the processing I did on it back then was a mile past horrible. I like this shot and believe it or...

Started working here last night, not ideal conditions, but am excited about the location.. Hope to catch it with some better lighting next time! Just decided I’m headed to Yachats for the day, better get a move on.. cheers!

This is the last of what I have to show for my waterfall day, and solidly my person favorite of the bunch. I’m really loving the super long daytime exposures, I’ve not had that ability in the past. I’ve always looked to have less movement recorded in my water shots, but I have to say I think my...

Here’s another from my upper Lewis adventure, hiked a little ways off the road to find his scene right at the end of daylight. 5DSR, 16-35MM F/4 L @ 35mm, f/11, iso100, 6 sec

Went waterfalling today, was a good day for it, kinda foggy diffused light. I am just getting used to the 5DSR, and I can’t say enough good about it, it’s an amazing machine. I also have a new 10-stop ND filter/cpl to try out and I used it here. This is around a two-minute exposure.

I’ve spent much of the last four days working on my portfolio of images, and updating my web page etc. I have really been considering a gallery showing based on some comments I've gotten in the past months, and its got me motivated/concerned/excited/apprehensive. I’m mulling it over, its always...

Here’s a shot I just processed from my trip two years ago, still lots and lots of files to go through, even from that trip. Lone Pine Peak and Mt. Whitney through Mobius Arch. Canon 6D, 24-105mm f/4 L IS @65mm, f/11, iso400

Going back through my archives and have a few shots to post up soon. This is Thors Well. A very moist experience, but well worth it! *wait, wait, WAIT! Click. Whip around a shield the camera with my body as a roller soaks me from head to toe.. Nikon D300, 10-20mm Siggy, f/11, Single shot, CPL...

Hey all, figured I’d make my annual appearance haha. I’ll be around a lot more in the coming year, finally getting my creative mojo back. Here’s a shot from a week ago i took while camping in the valley of the gods, such a great time. Canon 6D (about to get Astro modified), rokinon 14mm f/2.8...
