Winter Photography, Shooting in the Snow

Sangre De Cristo Winter Sunset.

The smoke and haze this winter has pretty much ruined the chance for getting suitable mountain panoramas but luckily the same problem has been making for some great sunsets. I don't like shooting sunsets all the time because they can quickly get cliché and boring but there is definitely a time and place for them. … Continue reading Sangre De Cristo Winter Sunset. →

Further Exploration

The day started out in a tizzy when Photoshop informed I had one day to log into the Creative Cloud or my subscription was going to be closed. I had no idea, I am used to Photoshop managing the subscription and updates automatically. So I checked and sure enough, no updates have been applied and … Continue reading Further Exploration →

Happy Winter Solstice

Alone in the woods in the coldness and darkness of the Rocky Mountain winter Christmas and the New Year holidays become meaningless dates on an arbitrary calendar, nights to be endured not celebrated... The birth of Christ, celebrated all over the world by families almost certainly did not occur exactly on the 25th of December … Continue reading Happy Winter Solstice →

Finally got the chance yesterday and I think I got some good ones 🙂 The views of the western mountains … Continue reading Mountain Sunsets →

Withdrawal

My favorite place in the world is the alpine tundra high above the treeline and it seems like forever since I have been there. Definitely feeling the effects of adventure withdrawal 😦 My last summit was Mt. Columbia in the summer of '16. Since then it has just been one thing after another... Money, injuries, … Continue reading Withdrawal →
