This cow elk was trying to eke out a living in the deep snow of the Grand Canyon highlands. It always amazes me they can thrive in such deep snow, with so little to eat. Here's hoping spring will soon come!
Fortunate to have good weather for my one chance at photographing sunset from Bass Harbor Lighthouse at Acadia National Park. This was taken at dusk after the Sun went down behind the treeline. Lucky the afterglow was still providing good color on the clouds.

This sheltered pond near Dream Lake in the Colorado Rocky Mountain National Park offered the stillness and some reflections that the windy lake itself couldn't give this morning. Still, well worth the early rise and hike. Hallett Peak dominates the scenery.

Rare moonbow (rainbow from moonlight) at Upper Yosemite Falls earlier this month. Very cool to see as the clouds cleared late and the moon was still in the required position! Yosemite Falls is one of the few waterfalls in the world where moonbows can be seen (at Yosemite - April, May & June near the full moon & the right conditions). We didn't plan our Yosemite trip for the moonbow but it was a huge bonus to experience it with the waterfalls flowing at full force.

Jacob Fu entranced by Half Dome from Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park. Part of the FYPx tour.
When at Yellowstone, we went to several of the lookouts for different views of the canyon. While Artist Point seems to be the most popular, for photography, I prefer this view from Lookout Point.
Stared in wonder at El Capitan for an hour while shooting star trails under a nearly full moon. I lined up on the shoreline at Cathedral Beach with the moon facing El Capitan. Incredible to be seeing it close-up in person under the moonlight by the Merced river.
tech details: El Capitan: 245s, f5.6, 14mm, ISO 200; blended with the star trails series shot immediately before: 140 photos at 25s, f4, 14mm, ISO 1000 merged using StarStax
Fall viewing of Dark Hollow Falls in Shenandoah National Park (October, 2016). Doubt I'll make it this year but it's a wonderful in the fall.
The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park get its name from the fact that some parts of the canyon only get 33 mins of daylight in a day. At one point, the canyon is 40 feet wide at the river but only 1100 ft wide 1820 ft up.
It takes a lot of steps to keep up with its mother, but this bison calf has been doing it since the day it was born. It amazes me how capable they are from so early on.
Thursday night's Strawberry Full Moon rising over the Jefferson Memorial. Renovations are almost complete and the memorial looks great! I was bracketing since it was late in blue hour so I blended two consecutive frames to keep the moon from blowing out.
All the best in 2016. That this may be the dawn of a year of peace, love and health.

My buddy Steve and I arrived at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands National Park on a brisk April morning at 4:30am with the intentions of being the first ones there.
Our intention was to first to shoot the Milky Way over the arch, then shoot the sunrise coming up over the mountains in the distance -- a shot if you're a landscape photographer you've seen a million times before, but if you're like us, one you still want to have for yourself as well.
Well, we weren't the first ones there as we could hear as we made our way down the trail.
We got to the arch and found two other photographers just wrapping up, after they had shot the arch for a couple of hours.
They packed up and left, and we thought we'd have it to ourselves
-- at least until others started to trickle in to shoot the sunrise.
However our solitude was short-lived when another photographer showed up with the intention of shooting the Milky Wave and doing some crazy light painting.
I shot a couple of images in between his light painting antics, but the crazy reds and greens he was using weren't my thing, and so I just decided to wait for the sun.
I must've taken over 100 images until I finally got what I thought was the perfect sunstar. It was tough, too -- because we were literally elbow to elbow with at least 30 other photographers jostling for position on a very small area.
This image was taken about a half hour after the official sunrise and I zoomed in to a bit to lose the top of the arch and the sky above it to get some rays of the sun coming through the Washerwoman formation in the distance and the cliffs beyond that.
I hadn't looked at these images in about four-and-a-half years, but decided to check them out again, and found this one, which is actually a blend of three images to capture all the dynamic range, including just a hint of two points of a sunstar on the lower center edge of the arch.
Sunset at Shenandoah National Park in May. It's a 15s exposure using a ND filter in windy conditions, which is why there is a lot of movement in the branches near me. It's a great to photograph a sunrise or sunset from a Shenandoah overlook!

It's practically illegal that I am not here, today.

Another look at our first day on the trip. After Sunrise, we darted around Yosemite Valley, chasing the light and a cool breeze, which inevitably brought us to Yosemite Falls and all of its glorious mist. The day ended up back where we started, at Glacier Point for a subtle sunset since there were no clouds in the Sierra- but the Alpenglow was still beautiful against a gradient sky.
Yosemite is on Miwok and Western Sierra land. Yosemite is the name wrongly given to the region by Anglo explorers. Yosemite means “those who kill” in the native language. The people of Yosemite called Yosemite Valley Awooni or Owwoni for (gaping) “large mouth". The Yosemite people called themselves as Ah-wah-ne-chee, or “dwellers of Ahwahnee.”
This bull was one of eleven moose gathered in front of the Tetons. There were 10 bulls & only one cow. I had to hike to get to them. Once I set up my tripod, they all layed down to nap. I waited over two hours for them to stand again. It was worth the wait!!!
When this bull tipped his head back...in the golden sunlight...with the backdrop of the snow covered Tetons...my heart skipped a beat!
