No, not shooting to kill, shooting to blog! I can’t believe it has already been two weeks since I shot these pictures. Time is just flyin’ on by. I usually don’t like taking touristy pictures, but these beasts are just so big and cool I couldn’t help myself.
This first shot is in Moraine Park. There...

Shooting Elk in Rocky Mountain National Park
The Aspen verses The Pine
I love aspen groves. We have a lot of pine forests in the Front Range, and they just aren’t as pretty. If an aspen tree and a pine tree got in a fight, the pine tree would probably win. Aspen trees are lovers, not fighters. In a Miss Perennial Woody Plant competition, the aspen...

Aerial Shot of the Flatirons
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 got a new lens today
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,...
Balloon Over Boulder
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...
Pine Beetle Destruction
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...
Tilt Shift Wildflowers
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...
Boulder Pet Photography?
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...

Wonky Manhattan
Welcome to Part 2 of my tilt shift tour of New York. I arrived in Manhattan’s Penn Station on one of the warmest days so far this year. Outside there was the longest line of police cars that I’ve ever seen. I have no idea what that was all about.
Next I went...
Body Form Photography Workshop – Class 3 – Studio Strobes
For the third class of body form photography, we shot with a single strobe with a soft box. We warmed up with some long exposure shots using just the modeling light.
Then on to some strobe shots in the black room.
But then we moved to the white room. I enjoyed this high key setup as a...
Body Form Photography Workshop – Class 2 – Hot Lights
This is the second installment of photos from my nude body study of light and shadows. This week we used 1 or two constant light sources. There were no modifiers used to soften the light, thereby producing very dramatic light and shadows.
Body Form Photography Workshop – Class 1 – Natural Light
I signed up for a 4 session Body Form Photography class. I met the instructor, Rick Cummings, when I did the Latin Teen fashion shoot a couple months ago. Rick has a cool studio location only a couple of blocks from mine in Downtown Boulder. He is very involved with teaching classes and opening his...
