From a trip with Dean and Larry a few weeks ago, I've got a couple to add: Bart

It's been so long, I'm as rusty at posting as I've been at photography; long winter and busy at work. But a trip to Ricketts Glen with Dean and Larry and I'm cured. I've missed seeing the posts, but I'm back in full swing. So here's a few from that marvelous State Park: So first, one of Dean...

I've been saturated with work, and happy to have a break. So I wanted to send my best Christmas and Holiday wishes to my focal world friends. Colden is just now nestled, so I thought I'd take a minute to say thanks for the inspiration and friendship we share on the forum. I'll add a post of a...

Returning to Denver, I had time for 1 evening and the next day at RMNP (my first trip there). Jim had given me a tip for a quick run up to Bear Lake and a view of Long's Peak. I got to the parking lot near midnight, slept a bit there, planning to hike up in the dark for a sunrise. But a big...

After the Colorado FW "party" broke up in early October, I headed back to Denver to catch a plane home, and drove from Gunnison to Ft. Collins. After a week of very few clouds, the remnants of Tropical Storm Rosa hit western Colorado and I got quite the cloud show on my drive. I posted a few...

Close Encounters (of the fluffy kind) After a few Focal's met up in Ridgeway area late Sept.-Early October, I decided to drive from Ridgeway to Fort Collins area before catching a flight to NY from Denver. We had few clouds and no rain (or snow) on the Western Slope but on the ride east, the...

Dean and I caught some prime fall color at Gill Brook two weeks ago. Bart

A few from a quick run to the Adirondack High Peaks with Dean, and my return trip in the Southern Adirondacks near home. Gill Brook, Adirondack Mountain Reserve (with Dean) The swamp Maples at State Brook The Sacandaga Basin...

Beyond the grand mountains, valleys, peaks, lakes and ranches, Colorado is just as great to investigate intimate scenes that equally reflect Colorado's grandeur. Here's a small collection from my trip with Dean and Larry: The...

A little scene from the Western Slope Bart

Actually, I'm not whining. Dean, Larry and I were all set up for sunrise on Co. Rd. 7 (well, 5,7 or 9 anyhow) and everything seemed right; we finally had clouds. At sunrise the color just started to hit, then quickly subsumed to gray/white. But the morning light continued and with the 11-24 I...

As mentioned, a few FW 'togs met near Ridgeway Co., and I caught Dean in the act of disclosing the secret spot: Bart

Winter storm in Yellowstone, Lamar Valley Three bison; three wolves, three trees. One lucky day, for several hours we watched this wolf chase, which passed by the trees (and the bison). We were watching a group of 14 wolves in the valley, when the alpha, on a ridge behind and above us...

Well, not really ... the West Canada Creek is not West (it's in the Northeast), and it's not Canada (it's in New York), and not really getting stoned either, but on my way to shoot Goldmine Stream in the Adirondacks, I drive along the West Canada, and there's a guy who -- year after year -- sets...

I met up with Dean a few weeks ago in the Adirondacks after an adequate downpour to fill Gill Brook in the Adirondack Mountain Reserve with a decent flow. I used the 11-24 to enhance the foreground, yet still catch the arriving sun peeking through the trees on the other side. C&C welcome...

Searching out a sunrise above the Mohawk Valley, I came across this scene, that I thought was pretty cool Bart

I finally invested in the Wonder Pana filter system for my 11-24, and took it on a test run to Groff Creek two days after a nice summer rain. The WA really allows you to see the big picture of what is ordinarily a really tight area. Although the falls are, straight on, the dominant feature...

I went out this morning for a sunrise, but was skunked with very little cloud cover. But it was cool overnight, and going to get hot progressively over the day, so there was some nice mist that I knew would burn off quickly. I found a couple of streams running right toward the sum and got some...

Almost a month late in the Adirondacks, spring is full throttle. So I wandered to some favorite scenes with my grandson to shoot some brooks the morning after a nice spring rain. Here's a couple: The trail (part of the Northville to Placid), NPT Trail: The upper part of the Falls...
