sunset

I'm a great believer in serendipity in my photography. I often set out with a plan or goal, but try to stay open to opportunities and go with the flow, which can mean changing the plan and not meeting the original goal. Yesterday afternoon I walked over to our high school play fields to...

Two images of the mighty Sgurr nan Gillean, on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, both taken around sunset at one year difference between them. Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 45mm & Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters. Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 21mm & Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra...

This is from 2 months ago somewhere in Nebraska on my way to Minnesota for Fall Colors. As I was driving, the clouds and the sun and that look to them like they were going to make music together at sunset. So I was keeping an eye out for a lake as there had been plenty to be seen along I-76. I...

I captured this image Saturday afternoon while hiking in Glacier. I started by traipsing into the snow to get close to the falls (I'll share an image from there Wednesday) but I liked this scene from the bridge much better. Some sunset light in the clouds doesn't hurt either. This is a single...

Last month at Split Rock Lighthouse in Minnesota, I was able to get there in peak fall colors. I spent a couple of evenings and morning there getting quite an assortment of sunsets and sunrises. This was one of the better ones, and was really a joy to witness. This was sunset. All comments are...

This is sunset at the Badlands of South Dakota last month. There was a cool layer of clouds in this direction catching the sunset colors that I looked pretty neat. It was a low layer of clouds though, it didn't cover much of the sky and was just along the horizon, so I went with a 16x9 crop to...

A week after going up and spending 5 days in the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota and going on 3 occasions to capture this, I went back for a follow up. When I was first there the fall colors were awesome, probably in the 70-100% range. I knew going back that the fall colors would...

From the Badlands in South Dakota a couple of weeks ago I guess now. After sunset as I was heading out of the park, I came across this bighorn sheep that had been standing there. I saw it and thought that looked cool, so I pulled over and grabbed my camera. By then the sheep had laid down to...

I hadn't seen a very good sunset in ages, so it was pretty spectacular to have this sunset ignite after a less than impressive evening.

Loch Lomond is a beautiful loch, and I love to stop there on my way from Glasgow to Glencoe & the Isle of Skye, when I have a chance. Here two sunsets on the Loch, taken two years apart. First, a 2020 image, 3/5 of a second taken with my Hasselblad X1D II, Hasselblad XCD 21mm and Formatt-Hitech...

I made my way out to McDonald Lake for sunset last night. The light fizzled before it could really light up the clouds, but I had a chance to capture a few shots before that. Any thoughts are always welcome.

I love photographing Cornwall under all weather conditions, the Atlantic weather creates some amazing light shows - sometimes, the colours in the sky are so saturated that you actually need to tone them down in post-processing, rather than enhancing them. Trevose Head's Lighthouse, in...

This was at the end of some really great wildflower backpacking trips in SW Colorado, I ran up to Dallas Divide for the sunset. I never cease to be amazed at how no one is ever there to photograph it seems except for Fall Colors. In the fall it will be a madhouse there with 50 to 60 people at...

Waterfalls are a constant presence in Iceland, they grace the landscape with their presence pretty much everywhere you look. Some are more iconic than others, and among the iconic ones Kirkjufellsfoss and Skogafoss are definitely high on the list. Here they are, photographed in winter...

I was hoping to get more sunset shots of White Chuck mountain from Raven Lake, but rising mist obscured the peak just after I got this one.

I love going to Iceland in winter. The weather in Iceland is always such a leading character in the story and this is even truer in winter, as the images here prove (at least to me, that is). Reynisdrangar, in Iceland, is a very accessible location offering a wealth of different compositional...

Perhaps.... you can see the love too. :) This is from 2 weeks ago at the Devil's Tower in Wyoming during sunset. All comments are welcome, Jim

This week has been a hard week for CO, Started with a fire close to Grand Junction that one was burning for awhile then Monday a fire started in Glenwood Canyon. Come Thursday two more fires broke out one about 60 mi for Fort Collins and the other by Granby/Kremmeling. The whole week I made a...

This is Emerald Lake, it's up in Rocky Mountain National Park RMNP over by Bear Lake. It's a pretty short 2+mile but super beautiful hike. There is lot's of great waterfalls and cascades along the way and you pass several lakes on the way up there. It's really a bit of a hidden jewel for...
