Here are two, one looking down into where Kings Canyon begins from Sequoia National Forest and one looking up to peaks. Shot on film, Ilford Delta 100 on a Nikon FM2n, first with a series e 35/2.5 and the 2nd with a series e 28/2.8. Both with an deep yellow/orange filter. Developed in d-76...

Found another spot for this particular evening and was really enjoying myself waiting for the light to fade. The sky did not do quite what I wanted to later with twilight however the last rays along the valley floor turned everything golden against the blue shade of the lower brush and water...

Anytime I am at a new place, I am mentally taking notes of places to return for potential sunset/sunrise that look fruitful compositionally speaking. I had stopped at this spot earlier in the day with my wife but due to wearing ourselves out, she elected to stay at the campground. The spot...

I have been away from this site for too long, away from photography since coming back from Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks. Other interests took precedent but I still have images to go through and edit. However, the light was fantastic down in the canyon and I just wanted to share some...

Death Valley was surprising more beautiful than expected. Badwater Basin, Sunrise. CC always welcome. Update: Mess with more Saturation and Contrast...Thoughts?

Taken last Sunday in Yellowstone while waiting to join the crowds at Old Faithful... Any thoughts are welcome! Below image edited to bring out some more detail in the mids/darks:

With a very low chance for auroras, and a high chance for smoke, I drove up to Glacier against my better judgement earlier this week..in hopes of getting lucky. When I got to the Flathead Valley the smoke was not too bad, relatively speaking, and I could see blue skies peaking through the haze...
