A collection of some of my better photography, and/or posts about photography.
SR-71 Blackbird panorama taken at Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson, AZ.
Created by digitally stitching 6 shots. I created a couple other versions of this using perspective correction that removed the distortion, but for some reason it was always chopping off either one side or other so I decided to upload this complete but distorted pano instead. I may upload the others later.
Tucson Sunset HDR Panorama 1/4 size
On vacation visiting family in Tucson, Arizona. After a fun day at the Pima Air & Space Museum (& taking tons of photos), I was treated to this beautiful sunrise out my parent’s back door.

“Leaving on a jet plane…” Little before sunrise at Denver International Airport as I prepared to leave for a much needed vacation.
I have finally gotten around to starting to process tons of old digital photos. To top it off I have been learning some new software, having recently received Adobe Lightroom for Christmas (thanks Dad). While doing this I wanted to start uploading my work to Flickr, but instead of uploading in occasional batches of photos as I worked on them, I thought it would be nice to have some system of uploading them spread out over a schedule. I found a couple of different apps that do just that. One PC app called Flickr Shedulr, and one web-based app called PhotoQueue.com.
So far I have been using the freeware PC app, called Flickr Schedulr, and I really like it. The first thing you have to do is link it to your Flickr account. This gave me a little trouble at first, but once I got it linked everything has worked great. The app is organized into several different screens or tabs. Read My Full Review →
From summer of 2014. Thunderstorm clouds boiling up over historic mines in Victor, Colorado.
Sitting on a bench near the end of the day the other day, took this HDR photo of the Stone House at the Bear Creek Green Belt. We had been under a “wave effect” cloud pretty much all day, which you can see at the top of the photo. The sun was just setting, lighting the scene from the horizon under the stationary cloud front.
The grey and gloomy day this Christmas Eve day had me yearning for summer in the mountains. Had some unprocessed photos from this summer,so…
On the way to South Park. Taken somewhere along CO Rt 9 between Canon City and Hartsel in August of 2014. It was an unusually wet summer for this area that year.
015:365:2014 Sickday Sunrise
Was home sick from work today otherwise would have been stuck inside unable to appreciate this. Sleeping late was woken by a text message from my mother that said: "Sunrise alert! May be the picture of the day!" How right she was.
014:365:2014 Snowstorm over frozen lake panorama
Tried processing this several ways and while I’m not super happy with the end result I think its not too bad. Initially I really wanted to see the misty foggy look of the far side of the lake, but all my attempts did not come out well. In future I guess I’ll have to try using a tripod and try to shield the lens from falling snow better as the speckling caused by the falling snow and melting snow on the lens really played havoc with this digitally stitched panorama. Ended up going the other way; with this high contrast, dark, sharp & desaturated version which I think came out pretty cool and managed to capture the downright chilly landscape.
