Ouray County, Colorado, USA
I was very fortunate to have captured this photo. The location is in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. The road is doable with a high-clearance vehicle, and the walk-in is pretty short. The biggest challenge with this spot is the timing. The fall colors need to look good, and the status of the leaves […]
Silver Jack Recreation Area Reflections, Gunnison County, Colorado, USA
I had been to this area before, but I hadn’t found this particular spot until this trip. The group I was with planned for a late afternoon hike into the spot. That was sort of a risky move considering there are good sunset spots in the area, and this wasn’t one of them. We were […]
Crystal Lake Reflections, Colorado, USA
[the_ad id=”61716″] This is a classic Colorado autumn photography location. It’s great to take in the amazing views of the fall colors in the San Juan Mountains south of Ouray. I had been here multiple times in the past, so I knew generally a good timeframe to visit. However, the fall colors in Colorado are […]
White Pocket Lone Tree, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, Arizona, USA
[the_ad id=”61716″] There is just no getting around this fact: this location is hard to get to. My first attempt was in March. My friend and I braved a heavy downpour of rain heading down a 10-mile stretch of dirt road. That road had now turned to thick mud. On the way out to our […]
Palmer Park, Colorado Springs, USA
[the_ad id=”61716″] This evening, I went for a hike in a local park, venturing into a new area for the first time. Typically, I would explore other parts, but for some reason, I decided to park at a new spot. What I didn’t realize was that most of the hike to the overlook was shaded […]
Cape Disappointment, Washington State, USA
[the_ad id=”61716″] I was headed out to the Washington coast after a trip to visit family. I was looking forward to spending time capturing photos near Long Beach. The goal for the first evening was to capture the sunset at Cape Disappointment. However, I was running late and losing light very quickly. I arrived just […]
Autumn Fence, San Miguel County, Colorado, USA
This photo was not planned; it was just a spontaneous roadside stop along one of the many gravel roads in the Colorado countryside. These spontaneous stops are something that happens regularly for me in Colorado, but this one felt extra special. I was leading a workshop and driving to another location, hoping to catch the […]
Spirit Falls, Skamania County, Washington, USA
I have seen photos of this waterfall for years. It is very beautiful, and I wanted to find it and take some pictures of it. There were multiple challenges, however. I have read numerous conversations online in the last few years that stated that access to the waterfall was closed. Most of the conversations were […]
Sauvie Island, Oregon, USA
It was a cloudy day in Portland on a fall day, which was pretty normal from what I remember. I had never been out to Sauvie Island, but I had seen photos of the flocks of birds out there, and I had some time to explore. So, I headed out. There weren’t many fall colors […]
Looking Up, Gunnison National Forest, Colorado, USA
I had been looking for a good spot to capture a classic ‘look up’ picture. That morning, I was travelling along the Kebler Pass in Colorado and had stopped to take a hike into the forest. When I got back closer to where I had parked, I noticed a tall grove of aspen trees that […]
