This past weekend was gorgeous with unseasonably warm weather. Cyndie and I spent most of St. Patrick’s Day en route to Alexandria for a wedding. Sticking to the main drag of Interstate 94 until the Clearwater exit; then the discovery and shooting began. I continually feel so incredible fortunate to be able to consistently stumble upon wonderful sites to capture. And [...]

Nature is really starting to turn up wick (an expression I’ll borrow from Mr. Kris Risch, my high school civics teach). The scenery was quite picturesque this afternoon/early evening. Beaming sunlight flaring from behind and through the clouds creating wonderful highlighted colors and deep shadow. I found myself on a very interesting and wonderful path. Hwy 58 [...]
Classic Corvette

When I arrived at the location for the meeting today I spied this classic Corvette in the parking lot. This had HDR written all over it – or one could say reflected all over it. 1st and 3rd images are original exposures out of the camera. EXIF f/2.8 | 1/250 | ISO-100 | spot metered. [...]

I have been kicking around the purchase of a macro lens for about a month. Today was the day. I picked up a Tamron 90mm f/2.8 instead of the Nikon 105mm f/2.8. The biggest reason – half the price as well as half the weight (14.3 oz vs. 27.2 oz). The Tamron lacks the vibration [...]

If you ever find yourself heading South from Kellogg, MN on Hwy 61 – hang a right onto 74 @ Weaver. Take a drive through the Whitewater river bottoms. 74 is a very scenic path all the way through Elba to the Whitewater State Park. Once the leaves start to turn this location will hopefully be amazing. [...]

Another beautiful morning sunrise at Covil Park in Red Wing, MN. There was only a bit of fog burning off the water, but it still provided for a nice effect and contributed to a somewhat subtle mood. The back bay is starting to get some color.
