Lower Yellowstone Falls as seen from Artist Point at sunset on July 9th, 2013. The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone National Park is an incredible sight.

Artist Point was so by named Frank Jay Haynes who incorrectly this spot along the south rim as the location from which Thomas Moran sketched the lower falls in 1872. Those sketches were later determined to have been made from the north rim of the canyon, but the name stuck.

Shot as a vertical panorama at six levels of exposure (0.25 sec to 8 sec).

This day presented me with optimal weather conditions. It was super windy so I decided to bump up my ISO and go for some "grainy-look" shots. I like the result. Hope you do as well.

Seljalandsfoss waterfall in southern Iceland. Night was closing in, it was cold, muddy, rainy... but I had to take this picture.

The Racetrack (Moving Rocks) - Star Trails - Death Valley

This was shot at The Racetrack in Death Valley. It was a time-lapse for about 3 hours in the late evening. I then combined those images in Photoshop to create this star trail image. The Moon is what is lighting the rock and the foreground.

The silence here was impressive.

I stepped outside of my house last weekend to an amazing sunset during a thunderstorm. I grabbed my gear and ran up on a hill (most of the lightning was in the distance), set my camera on a tripod and focused on the storm just as it started raining on me. I quickly set my shutter speed to 1/3 of a second so as to increase my chances of catching lightning and set my intervalometer to take a shot every second

I spent the next 3 minutes holding my shirt over my camera to protect it from the rain. I think it was worth it.

Shot of some of the many cool sea stacks at the beach in Bandon, Oregon, USA. Intentionally oversaturated. I liked the cooked look on this one better than the more natural look. The sunset was lighting up the clouds some... but not this much. Still, not too far off what it really looked like.

Had to wait until after dark for all the people to leave to get this view I wanted without having to do a ton of work editing people out.

This photo was taken near dusk in the Palouse region of Washington State. I was lucky enough to have a car pass by that illuminated part of the foreground.
