So, as you probably can see, I like taking nature photos when I’m wandering around in the local woods around Boulder. It can be challenging to come up with creative ways to take new photos every time, when the surroundings appear to be the same. In the foothills of Boulder, we really don’t have too...
This one is for you, Mom! I snagged this little guy during the formals of a wedding that I was second shooting for Chad. He was shooting formals and I was standing around doing nothing, and we were getting buzzed by these little guys. So I pulled out the telephoto lens and managed to catch...
I’ve been trying to be better about doing something other than work lately. But when I do, I still bring my camera. Does this mean that I’m not really getting away from work? I actually went on a hike the other day. Probably the first one this year! It was a quick little one, leaving...
Action self portrait cruising down the street on my 1952 Monark Cycle King on a gorgeous summer day.
Right at the edge of town, Boulder has it’s own mini Red Rocks. A short hike from Settler’s Park, the Red Rocks Trail is a short hike around this rock outcropping that juts up skyward.
I haven’t posted in a bit. I cracked under the weight of too much work and not enough fun. So Bobby and I attempted to rectify the situation with a little Nederland riding. Just to show how mentally cooked I was, I left my riding shoes at home for the first time in . ....
Here is one last shot from my plane ride above Boulder. It’s a simple shot of the Flatirons, but hey, everyone loves the Flatirons.Plus you can see the University of Colorado Boulder campus with all of the red roof buildings.
I’ve waited a while to post these pictures to make it seem as if I’m out riding my mountain bike. Those folks who just glance at the pictures will think, “Wow Steve Z has such an amazing rock star life, shooting photos and all kinds of great rides in the mountains!” But all you 3...
Last week I did a fun shoot that is a little out of the ordinary for me. I took my friend Jeff up on an offer to shoot an unusual plane from the air. Jeff’s friend Michael Malocsay hand built himself a Rutan VariEze experimental aircraft and comes into Boulder every so often to fly...
As anyone who knows me knows, I really like the tilt shift. The limitless versatility allowed by changing the angle of the focal plane keeps the latent scientist in me entertained for hours. I’ve been using the 45mm version since way back in my Canon days of last year. When I switched to Nikon, I...
Last Friday I went for another plane ride with Barnow. This was an intentional joyride this time. We had special plans to take aerial photos of a special plane. More on that in an upcoming post! On our ascent we passed by a hot air balloon floating over the Boulder Reservoir. I hadn’t really given...
The big news in the mountains here in Colorado is the recent destruction that is being caused by the pine beetle. A quick google search can reveal a plethora of articles which cover the subject, but a recent article I read on the subject can be found HERE. So while on my recent ride in...
