I like using different formats for my photographs. I know some photographers believe that one should always shoot “full frame,” but not me. Why should I let a camera manufacturer dictate the aspect ratio that my photographs should be? I feel that the photographer should be in control of the entire process, including final cropping. [...]

The road to Gotts Point is a favorite location of mine for an early morning stroll with my camera and tripod. It is always quiet, allowing me to think deeply about whatever is on my mind. It is a great place to meditate and ponder, and as I do I feel invigorated and ready to [...]

The Sawtooth Mountains are one of my favorite places to visit. The cool, fresh morning air makes waking up a pleasure. The scenery is incredible, especially first thing in the morning. Saturday I had the pleasure of being at Alturas Lake at sunrise. We had a light fog that created a mood and feeling that [...]

When in Stanley, I struggle over whether to photograph in the morning or go fishing. Last week Photography won out! I still got in plenty of fishing, but the early mornings were perfect for making photographs. On Friday morning as Christeena and I left our campground at about 6:00 the sky was clear and temperature [...]

Like it or not, we’re back! The fishing was good and the photography was great around Stanley, Idaho! We photographed around the Stanley Lake area, Little Redfish Lake and Alturas Lake. I have not had time yet to process out the images, but check back often, as they will be showing up in future entries. [...]

With portraits, I hated windy days. I didn’t mind the rain, but wind made life very difficult to work with. In my landscape work, however, I have been shooting in the wind quite a bit. I have been intrigued with motion for some time now. A windy day is now perfect! Using a tripod, I [...]

We have had some great sunsets lately, and I love being out at the lake when they happen. No matter how many sunsets I photograph, or see for that matter, I am always wanting to see more. Each one is different and unique. Photographing the sunset to capture its beauty and intensity can be somewhat [...]

Composition in landscape photography is sometimes a touchy subject, but in my opinion is very critical to discuss. Some see good composition naturally… it is a gift they have, others must learn to see. Neither way is necessarily better than the other, just different ways of seeing. I often hear that “rules were meant to [...]

A few days ago I posted Tunnel Vision. This is a view the other direction. A beautiful view overlooking Warm River. This is another image that seems to have grown on me. Originally I was not real fond of the image, but over time it has become a favorite. The low-resolution internet version does not [...]

Not everything that I photograph is water. I love nature and spend a lot of time in the outdoors. I have learned that wherever you are images can be made. If the light is right then you can find a composition that will be nice. I was in Jackson Hole, Wyoming a while back for [...]
