The light at just the right angles. Stood outside in the drizzling rain. Watching color meld with clouds. Cloud cover set to glow by faint light. Then more storm clouds slowly rolled in. Smothering the soft colors. Putting… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 181. I was laying back reading a book. Then I looked up and noticed the light outside. I looked at my watch and it was about time for sunset. I craned my neck to get a better look. There might just be a photo worthy sunset outside. Sometimes nature just puts opportunities right in front of you without you having to do anything. I hadn’t really… Read More

My training plan was calling for a 22 mile long run on trails. This is good because my biggest races are all on trail and I really have not spent much time running on trails this year.

One photo a day challenge: Day 154. I’m not really a big fan of rainy days. I love to be outside. But I have a hard time getting motivated to go outside if its a rainy day.

One photo a day challenge: Day 153. Lately I have been experimenting with using more artificial lighting in my photography. I have really enjoyed the flexibility the Lume Cube lights I now have in my tool kit have afforded me. I have used these lights to make photographing in low lighting inside the house possible. The lights have also made photographing outside at night possible. And I have used these lights as… Read More

There are many great birding sights that await you when you arrive. However, often there is no way to know what you will actually see.

I especially enjoy seeing… Read More

And flowers also attract great photography subjects. That… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 135. Today I taught a wildlife photography workshop at 171 Cedar Arts. We spent the first half of the day talking about wildlife photography. Then we went outside to see if we could find some wildlife to photograph. Hoping for some opportunities to practice what we had talked about. The plan was to walk across town and over the walking bridge. A great place to stop… Read More
