    The Story Behind: Milky Way Falls

    Nikon D800E, NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8 lens This is one of my favorite shots from back in 2013. Back then, we didn’t have no stinkin’ apps that let you plan Milky Way shots easily on satellite maps like you can with PhotoPills.

    Moody Landscapes

    Depending on where you live, clouds may dominate your skies for 250-plus days of the year. This is more the norm around coastal areas and is governed by the seasons. I’m lucky to live in Colorado where I have just the opposite: 250 to 300-plus days of sunshine. But from a photographer’s...

    The Story Behind: Galactic Cave

    Nikon D800E, NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8 lens I photographed this view of the Milky Way from a sea cave back in February of 2015, but it had been in the planning for about 2 years. A lot of things needed to come together for this to work. It had to be early in the year (at the start of “Milky Way...

    Snow Moods

    Fresh snow takes on the shape of what it drapes. It’s impacted by the wind’s ferocity, it reflects the sky’s color and the twinkle of each flake is affected by the intensity of the cold and sun. Newly fallen flakes paint a virgin landscape with pristine beauty that beckons the call of shutters...

    Sukakpak Mountain Reflection

    Nikon D810, 19mm tilt-shift lens, f/11, ISO 64, 1/4 second. Sukakpak Mountain in the Brooks Range Mountains above the Arctic Circle in Alaska on an early July night in 2017. Night in the Arctic Circle in the summer means the sun doesn't set, and this was around midnight. This was quite a...

    Make The Mutiny Bountiful

    There are many rules and guidelines that relate to art. They correspond to composition, light, depth of field, color harmony, sharpness and so much more. They’re written and applied for good reason. The rule of thirds should be applied to create a successful composition. Mid-day light doesn’t...
