Back in August we were visiting family in Sacramento, CA. While we were there we made a day trip to San Francisco. Here are a couple of shots that I liked from the beach: 25 mm, 1/250 sec at f/8, ISO 400 Canon EOS 5D Mark II, EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM 28 mm, 1/200 sec at [...]

Here’s the second post from our Yellowstone trip. These photos are a bit more muted in their color pallet than the ones from yesterday’s post. Some because of how I chose to process them and others because that’s how they naturally appeared. I may do one more post on Yellowstone. We’ll see… 70 mm, 1/6400 [...]

We just got back from our fist trip to Yellowstone. Our good friends go every year and invited us to come along this time. We all had a lot of fun and some excitement too. At one point an elk tried to charge our kids and that same evening someone thought it would be cool [...]

The Provo River Parkway is close to our house but we’ve never checked it out. This past weekend we decided to take a family walk to explore some of the trail. We only covered about a mile but we enjoyed what we saw. There was a lot of beautiful trees and plants, and of course [...]

Thanksgiving Point recently had their annual Tulip Festival. We went again this year along with some close friends and had fun and took a lot of pictures. Here are a few of my favorites: 68 mm, 1/1250 sec at f/2.8, ISO 200 Canon EOS 5D Mark II, EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM 24 mm, 1/400 sec at [...]

Rock Canyon is only about 15 minutes away from where I live in Provo, Utah and it’s a place that I frequent when wanting to do some nature and landscape shooting. Here are some new shots that I decided to convert to black and white to give them a bit more of a dramatic feel. [...]

Here’s a quick photo of some Indian corn that I saw in the corn maze at the pumpkin patch that we took our kids to. 67 mm, 1/80 sec at f/5.6, ISO 400 Canon EOS 5D Mark II, EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM

I’ve driven past the salt flats many times on my way to and from California, but I’ve never bothered to stop and take a look. Recently I made a special trip out to the salt flats just for the purpose of photographing them. I had a great time and I’m pretty happy with my images. [...]

We recently got back from a camping trip in southern Utah that some close friends invited us on. The area is filled with mountains and rock formations that are amazing reds and oranges. We camped in Calf Creek and took day trips to Devils Garden and Capital Reef. We all had a great time hiking [...]

Our Nature Photography class took a camping trip to Great Basin National Park in Nevada to… you guessed it, take pictures. We did some night/star photography, we took a tour of the caves there, and did some hiking before dawn and just before sunset so that we could photograph in the sweet light/golden hour, etc. [...]
