As the first day in Colorado came to a close we found ourselves at the Mt. Sneffels view from earlier in the day for sunset. This is a time of day that I’ve never photographed this location from. The shadows and sharp contrasts made for some interesting shots. From slightly earlier in the evening when …
Here is the second installment of my photos from my trip in October 2022 to Ridgeway CO and the San Juan Mountains for fall foliage photography. When I have been to a place multiple times to photograph there are a couple of conflicting priorities for me. One is that I want to recreate previous photos …
Sunrise is the most difficult time to photograph in my opinion. The lighting is changing very rapidly and the contrast is extreme between the places the sun is hitting and the places still in shadow. Zooming in on a section of the scene helps with this extreme contrast seen here with the mountain top just …
Earlier this year Taunya and I went down to Eugene, OR for my Sister-in-law’s wedding to Eric. It was amazing how the weather worked out for it. It was pouring rain most of the day, see the image below, but for the ceremony and afterwards it cleared up and was a beautiful evening. I wasn’t …
Back in March of 2022 we went to the Oregon coast again to our favorite place of Florence. We stayed in an Airbnb right on the ocean. It was a great weekend with friends. Was using my favorite lens the Nikon 70-200mm 2.8E for these photos. Here is one of my good friends Tau and …
I realized there was a lunar eclipse when I saw my son Daniel looking at it through his telescope. By the time I got my camera stuff set up the eclipse had past full and was starting to uncover. This is about as close as you can get to having the eclipse and the bright …
So take two of this post. My website had an attack and had to be reset from a back up which was before this post. So If you have seen this post before that is why. 🙂 We went to Terrace Heights memorial park for these photos. If you remember this is where I took …
My daughter Ella went out to take some photographs of the full moon a couple days ago. This motivated me to get my Nikon 500mm prime lens out to take some photos as well. For a little more magnification I added my 1.4x teleconverter for a total lens focal length of 700mm. Camera settings for …
Enjoyed taking senior portraits of Korben on a rainy Saturday afternoon. Overcast skies make for great photos with the diffuse lighting. Have a lot of favorite shots from the day. Enjoy the gallery!
I had the privilege of photographing my sister in law, Lisa and her fiancĂ©, Eric this past week end at the Mount Pisgah arboretum near Eugene, OR. It is a gorgeous location. I am always happily surprised to see areas like this so close to a major city. I always personally prefer the more candid …
Labor day weekend Taunya and I took off for our favorite place on the Oregon Coast, Florence. We stayed in a Airbnb close to where we usually stay at Driftwood Shores. Ever since my camera equipment was stolen from Driftwood Shores, I’ve been gun-shy of staying there again. Sunset with Heceta Lighthouse. Would have been …
Well, I thought I had finished all of my my niece’s senior portraits……well my sister called me and said,” don’t see any photos of the last day we took photos with the small purple flowers.” Me, “Hum let me check”….sure enough I had forgotten one day and 105 photographs :). We tried a few shots …
