When I looked at this scene of Maroon Bells, the words from the song "America the Beautiful" came immediately to mind. The song writer's wonderful words "...purple mountain majesty..." actually referred to another majestic mountain in Colorado, namely Pike's Peak. Regardless, the Rocky Mountains are so amazingly beautiful that I think the words can be used for any of the peaks.
Mountains tend to take on a purple tone during sunrises and sunsets. I am not sure what the scientific explanation is for the purple tint or, for that matter, any other color tints that mountains seem to take on. I believe that it has to do with a lot of variables, including the angle of the sun, and the amount of dust in the air to name two. Perhaps my love for mountains is because of the different "personalities" they take on when the light changes.
Sometimes a magical moment happens when least expected that gives you the most memorable event of a trip. A few of us had spent a few hours at Oxbow Bend and the weather did not cooperate at all. Mount Moran was totally socked in, the weather wasn't so hot, and, all in all, it was a morning to forget. My good buddy Jeff Clow suggested that we head to Cattleman's Bridge to see if we could find a bald eagle or two flying above the water. As we all looked up for the eagles, someone spotted some movement down river. There, amid the low-lying mist were quite a number of elk that were crossing the river onto an island. It was so unexpected and one of the coolest moments I have experienced. The fact that I also got some decent photos of the event was a bonus.
This shot was my "unicorn" of the trip. My good friend Chris Nitz has the best description of what a unicorn is to a photographer. In Chris's words, "... the “unicorn” is that single image that makes an entire trip. It is that moment that you compose your photo, click that shutter button, check the LCD and immediately know that you could never take another photo during your trip and be completely happy with what you have." I couldn't say it any better (which is why I stole Chris' words).

When you shoot a location many times, it is difficult to come up with a different look to a subject that has been photographed many times over. Of course, weather conditions, clouds and light can take the same composition from good to great. I really wanted to get a different view of Balanced Rock from the standard up next to it shot. From this angle, it looks quite small. In fact, the total height of the formation is 128 feet, with the rock that it balances stands 55 feet and weight an estimated 3,500 tons.
When I shot this, I thought the scene looked like pieces of a chessboard with a pawn in from of a castle on one side opposing a castle on the other.

Here's the roof of Facebook headquarters! I took this photo last year when I was there doing a private photo walk through that rooftop garden with fun peeps from FB. I'll be back next week! The main reason for my trip to San Francisco is to raise some money for a nonprofit connected to Burning Man, but I'll also be visiting: Netflix, Google, YouTube, Adobe, and I'm excited to see the new Peak Design store! Send me a note if you happen to be at one of those places and we can have a hello! As for this photo of the FB roof, I'm looking forward to getting a new one with the Mavic 2 zoom. I just bought one and it has this cool new feature where it zooms in to 48mm and takes a panorama automagically.

16 days in to my 365 and I'm feeling a little like this bee. I've got the tools, I've got the know-how, but there's also that nagging self-doubt hounding at me each and every day. Can I really do one [non-lame] photo every single day for an *entire year*? Do I have that kind of commitment, dedication, willpower and drive? Can I ever get even close to the level of some of my favourite photographers or will I spend the rest of my life continually coming up short? Will my life have meant something when I die, or will I be forgotten by everyone except those close to me? At the end of the day, do my photos even mean anything to anyone? Or even just to myself?
I don't know if I'll ever be an amazing photographer. But I guess I'm willing to give it a go. Besides, if nothing else, at least I enjoy my own photography, and I guess that's all that really matters :)
There are scenes of the American Southwest that evoke great emotion and memories of the old time westerns. I am sure that the scenes that brings out those feelings are different for each of us. For me, the quintessential scene is one from Dead Horse State Park. This small park is nestled next to Canyonlands National Park, which has a great variety of different landscapes. This little park is more of a one-hit wonder, but what a great hit it is. In my opinion, this one scene is better than any one scene that can be found in Canyonlands.
Just looking at the erosion that the mighty Colorado River has created kind of boggles the mind. Standing about two thousand feet above and looking down on this natural gooseneck in the sunrise light brings chills. Add to that the legend of how this place got its name (wild mustangs were trapped there without water and passed away) just takes you back to the 1800's when settlers headed west.
Whatever comes to mind when you first see these iconic scenes of the west, I am sure that it will stir your mind to a time long ago.
One of the best things about Grand Teton National Park are the many turnouts and overlooks that have been built along the park's two main roads, US Route 89 and Teton Park Road. These stops on the road provide many beautiful views of the massive Teton Range, which are part of the larger Rocky Mountain Range. I have a particular affinity for the Blacktail Ponds Overlook.
Being a sunrise location, you really need to get there early enough to get the morning light as it begins to light up the peaks and work its way down the mountains. One of the challenges when shooting at this time of day here is the high dynamic range of the scene that is often difficult for cameras to capture. Trying to blend the very bright mountains and the very dark foreground takes a bit of thought and practice. There is a fine line in balancing the image by bringing out details in the shadows while reducing the highlights to bring out the of the mountains.

Back to the Stone Mill for today's photo. While the attraction for shooting at the mill was light painting, I still wandered off enough times to do some old fashioned night photography with ambient light. This floor was deserted and allowed the light from the buildings on the outside to shine through the windows, giving them a great orange glow. The multiple panes in each window create a great pattern. The pièce de résistance for me were the shadows that were created on the wall from the windows on the other side of the floor.
To say the Grand Canyon is immense would be a huge understatement. With an area that encompasses over 1.2 million acres, a length of 277 miles and about a mile deep, it is impossible to capture its magnificence in a single photograph. When you do try to photograph it, you must pick small microcosms of the landscape and have the best light possible. That is why photographing it in the early morning and at sunset is a must to get a decent shot. Photographing the canyon during the rest of the day only results in terrible haze (at least that has been my experience). With that in mind, I camped out at Yavapai Point during the last hour of sun and tried to get the light on the point and the background as clear as possible to show the crevices and shadows.
Another post on how certain land formations got their name. The Navajo Indians thought that rainbows were the guardians of the universe and they held this rock formation to be sacred because of it. Prior to the creation of Lake Powell, Rainbow Bridge was one of the most remote destinations to visit. Even now, there are two ways to reach it - a two-hour boat ride from Page or a 14-mile hike through Navajo land (a permit is required).
The bridge itself is made of sandstone and is thought to be the world's highest natural bridge. It was formed over thousands of years when the area was alternately a sea and desert. This produced layers of sandstone with different levels of hardness and compressed them so tightly as to withstand time.
