Castle on the Rocks
While waiting for sunset at Capitol Reef National Park, and unsure if that sunset was going to be magical, I left my tripod set-up in good hands and wandered around a bit. There was a nice late afternoon glow happening at the time, so I figured, if sunset fails to live up to our dreams, …
Sunset Point Overlook
While most of the locations we photographed were off the beaten track, we did hit a couple of easily accessible spots. One of them was Sunset Point Overlook in Capitol Reef National Park. We arrived a good hour and a half before sunset in order to secure parking spots in the relatively small lot. After …
Dead Horse Point Panorama
[singlepic id=2525 w=1050 float=center] It is hard to believe it has been a year (almost) since the Utah version of North by Northwest (NXNW) last spring. No, its not a rock festival. It’s a gathering of a few photo bloggers who got to know each other only through the wonders of social media. Images were …
Mesa Arch
[singlepic id=2504 w=840 float=center] Last night I went back to my Moab images and did a little bit of visual reminiscing. Looking at the images I took at Arches National Park, Dead Horse Point, Colorado National Monument brought back a flood of great memories with good friends. This one is from Mesa Arch. It was …
Night Arches
[singlepic id=2479 w=840 float=center] This is something from last April’s trip to Moab. It was a trip that I am still finding images from — this being one of them. It was an epic trip to one of the most gorgeous parts of the US that I have had the pleasure to visit. If you …
Dead Horse Point
[singlepic id=2429 width=840 float=center] I’ve been combing through the catalog my trip to Moab looking for images that I may have missed. Or maybe I combing through it to reminisce about the most epic trip ever. I’ll never tell. Anyway, this image either slipped through the cracks or I passed on it because I had …
USPS
[singlepic id=2348 w=840 float=center] I haven’t posted an image in a couple of days, but that is not from lack of desire. Since Monday night I have been dealing with some Adobe Lightroom issues. My catalog failed to load and couldn’t be repaired so I was forced to open a backup version. That would be …
Delicate Arch
[singlepic id=2344 w=840 float=center] I thought I’d bring you back to Moab today with this shot of Delicate Arch. I’ve been sitting on it for a while. I liked the composition and the fact that I and managed to frame it without including any of the hundred or so tourists who made the almost 2 …
Darkness Fades
[singlepic id=2309 w=840 float=left] I revisited my images from the Moab trip this weekend. I reprocessed a couple and discovered a couple that I neglected in the initial passes, including this one. This was shot from Mesa Arch about 20 minutes after dawn broke. Dave Wilson lead the “tonal compression” charge, switching to a long …
Dodge
[singlepic id=2266 w=850 float=left] You may notice a new look to the blog today. I changed WordPress themes, did a little design refresh and some housekeeping. I still have a lot of work to do. I need to update my bio, organize and add galleries, and a few other things. But I think this is …
