Every now and then I dive into my archives and mess around with photos I overlooked. Here's a new favorite from last Spring's 2 day trip to Joshua Tree. I love finding hidden gems like this.

It’s National Park Week! All US National Parks are free this week. Are you getting out to visit any? I’m gonna share my favorite photos from my visits to National Parks all week to celebrate.

 

Here’s one of the best (and coldest) sunrises of my life - from the 10,000′ summit of Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii.

I just read about this morning's rock slide in Squamish, BC. 1000 cubic meters of rock broke off of Stawamus Chief and fell to the ground below. Thankfully, no one has been reported injured or missing. I was just there last month, exploring the Sea To Sky Highway and gondola ride.

After a day of hiking Arches National Park, we made camp on the BLM land on the outer reaches of Canyonlands National Park. While we were making dinner, a big storm front rolled in from the South, swallowing up all of the stars I was hoping to shoot. A huge bolt of lightning, just out of frame lit up the entire canyon enough for me to capture this photo in a single frame.

Waking up early to head outside with your coffee into the morning mist... I just love living here.

They live on the waters and it permeates their way of life. Reflections emphasize stark details and the duality of their world. Sepia was chosen to give time to the shot - this way of life has been happening for centuries. It feels suspended in time.

With all the snow outside, I thought I'd celebrate green! I've also discovered the joys of lemon water this winter too! What took me so long?!

OK, I admit it- this is a cliche image: the isolated tree in a field. I could say this is a new take on that classic (cliched) image, and maybe I will because it makes me feel better. There are two things that I think make this image special. First is the colors, and second is the light. The colors are like this all over Capitol Reef, but are rather unique to there... so that makes it good. Second is the light. It made me hit the brakes, so there must have been something about the light.

 

As I ran from the car to the position where I would make this image, my mind was already planing the shot. Heck, even before, because I had to grab the 70-200 before I left the car! But that is the way my mind works- I see the whole shot laid out in my head as I frame it up. So my thoughts- narrow depth of field and get the light- that was my goal.

 

So I got to the position I wanted, and knelt down- lower angle worked better to my mind. I am outdoors, so no reason at all to up the ISO, so I started the exposure equation with an ISO of 64. I had already thumbed the aperture down to 2.8, and I knew I would get a shutter of over 1/1000, so no tripod necessary.

 

I popped off a couple shots. It just seemed obvious to me that the tree had to be camera right weighted, because it reaches out to the left. I knocked out a couple of different framings, pretty much both ends of the zoom.

 

So I got home, and had two images. I finished both- tight on the tree, and the three in it's environment. I asked my daughter which she liked better and she said the wider one... and so that is the released version. What do you think? Would the tighter one have been better?

The future was born with the sunrise,

The sunrise that builds into days and even more years.

And as it rolls burning,

Burning up like the trails (of the comets pulled tails)

We'd look around until we find, we find...
