Oxbow Madness

Sunday, September 30th, 2007

Oxbow Bend, Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.

The bad news, the Grand Tetons is crawling with photographers right now.  The good news, they all tend to shoot at the same four or five iconic viewpoints, with the beautiful Oxbow Bend being at the top of this list. (more…)

Teton Alpenglow

A few minutes after yesterday’s photo.  The light dusting of snow really helped.

Three pronghorn just before sunrise.  Unfortunately they didn’t stick around for the beautiful alpenglow!

Grand Teton last night.

Teton Snow

Teton Snow

The Jackson area has been getting some much needed rain since we arrived, which means some wonderful fresh snow on the Tetons!  Uneventful travel getting here, in fact every flight was early!

Arizona Travel Guide Cover

Arizona Travel Guide Cover

I thought I would share our most recent cover - this just arrived in the mail.  Not only is it fun to have a cover, but this Explorer’s Guide to Arizona looks like a great guide - it could come in very handy this winter.  We are planning to spend some time in this warm state this winter.

British Columbia Photos

Janine has the last of our summer photos added to our website just in a nick of time before we hit the road!  She updated our section of British Columbia Photos, and Yukon Territory Photos.  I really need to spend more time in both these beautiful Canadian Provinces.

Skagway Alaska Photos

Janine has added another new section to our website of Skagway Alaska photos.  Skagway is one of my favorite Alaska towns - especially on a light cruise-ship day!

Zion Narrows

The only photography I have done over the last month has been assignment work - I’m looking forward to getting back into the field and immersing myself in photography.  We have been working hard in the office so that we will be caught up before hitting the road Friday. (more…)

Juneau Alaska Photos

Today Janine was able to update our section of Juneau Alaska photos.

Ketchikan Alaska Photos

Ketchikan Alaska Photos

Janine is working hard to update our main website with photos from this summer.  She just added a gallery of Ketchikan Alaska Photos.  Because of its convenient locations for cruise ships, Ketchikan is probably one of the most visited communities in Alaska.

Las Vegas Panoramic

Las Vegas Panoramic

We have a number of panoramics on our page of Las Vegas photos.  Over the years customers have used them in some creative ways, including down the side of tour buses, and on 50 foot long wall paper running down the hallways in the new marketing offices of the Planet Hollywood casino (was the Aladin).  But a recent customer just came up with a unique way to use one on his website - not to mention, he has an interesting business, I thought it was worth sharing.

Canon Tilt / Shift lens - Shift

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

Alaska State Capitol

Another advantage of the tilt / shift lens is the ability to shift the lens up, down or even left to right. (more…)

Canon Tilt / Shift lens - Tilt

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

Fireweed in British Columbia, Canada 

I have begun using the Canon tilt / shift lenses increasingly more in the past 6 months; I have the 24mm and 45mm.  There are certain situations where having the ability to tilt or shift is really advantageous - I thought I would touch on tilt today, and shift tomorrow. (more…)

Amanita muscaria - mushroom

While I was looking around for the Spirit Bear, Janine spotted this nice looking mushroom.  (more…)

Saxman Totem Park, Ketchikan, Alaska

Saxman Totem Park, Ketchikan, Alaska.  I thought the bottom of this totem pole was pretty funny!  We have more Ketchikan, Alaska photos.

Alaska Railroad Photos

Alaska Railroad Photos

Sticking with the train theme, this is a recent photo from the Alaska Railroad as it travels between Anchorage and Seward, Alaska.  I was able to shoot this from a platform between the cars.

Skagway Train

Skagway Train

Another photo from last month’s historic train ride into White Pass from Skagway, Alaska.  If you take an Alaskan cruise, this excursion would be a must.  We have many Skagway, Alaska photos.
