One of the good things about mountain biking alone is that I have plenty of time to stop and smell the flowers! And the wildflowers were out in full force last weekend up in Keystone. I love my Nikon Perspective Control lens because it is also a macro, allowing me to shoot landscapes and closeups,...
Here are some more photos from my Keystone tilt-shift mountain bike adventure. The Blair Witch Trail connects the Swan River section of the Colorado Trail to Keystone Ranch. It’s a super sweet section of trail. This time of year it switches from bright, sunny and pretty Colorado wildflowers to pine beetle death and destruction.
I hired a new employee. His name is Steve. Steves are cool. I was explaining to him how RadioPoppers PXs work, and that I can shoot off-camera flash way over the camera’s synch speed using High Speed Sync. To show my point, I took this shot of him at 1/8000 of a second. Because I...
It has been a hectic July for me workwise. Sad to say, I haven’t done a single ride! But I’m rectifying that this weekend by doing some rides up in Keystone. Here is a shot from the Colorado Trail high above Keystone. I lugged the tilt shift along and had a great day taking some...
This is Paul. Paul Rocks! He is the owner of the Bombay Bistro in downtown Boulder. I met Paul last year on one random night on the Cruiser Ride. After that I’ve been a big fan of the modern Indian cuisine. They offer many vegan and gluten-free options which are a big hit in Boulder...
Tee and Cakes announced today on their twitter feed that they are giving away a free cupcake and some Glacier ice cream! So this was the perfect opportunity to try out my first bacon cupcake! Why bacon? Well, why not! Bacon is so hot right now. Sure, it sounds a little wierd, but it’s easy...
Don’t you think that the Vasque footwear company should feature this shot on the front of their website? I do! What a cool way to drap unique attention to your products! OK, I’m biased because I took the picture, yes, it’s true. But I still think it might be just crazy enough to work! This...
Sometimes I get asked if I ever shoot pet portrait photography. Officially, the answer is no, I’ve never been hired for a paid dog or cat portrait gig. But that doesn’t mean that I couldn’t! I’m just not really sure that a viable, paying market exists for high quality scenic shots. One would think that...
Rob came to town for a week of riding and hanging out. The week he chose to come to Boulder coincided with my busiest time of the year. I didn’t take many photos. Here are two.
On my final day in Steamboat, I headed southeast out of town past Stagecoach Reservoir to Kristi and Danny’s house. We shot an epic Sport The Dress™ session in the mountains near their home. After the shoot I headed back to Boulder the back way, over Gore Pass. On the way, I was hoping to...
On my second day in Steamboat I headed a little farther out of town. Steamboat has had the same wet spring weather that we’ve had in the Front Range, so most of the high elevation trails were reported to be pretty swampy. I rode up the Hot Springs Trail to Lower Bear Trail and back...
On my first day in Steamboat I did a local ride straight out of town. The thunderstorms were threatening, and I needed to get a quick little ride in before the skies opened up. So I headed to the base of Howelsen Hill, and started climbing the rod up to Emerald Mountain. There is a...
Here is part 2 of the Steve Z portrait in the hotel series. Can you believe that I made you wait that long for it? Yeah, I know, what can I say? I’ve been busy with the big wedding month of June. But the big crunch is over and I’m back on track to blog...
