Nature Valley Bus Stop Advertising

Nature Valley Bus Stop Sign

Like yesterday’s image, the above poster was also part of the market test in LA; here is my original post and photo on that story.  The image was from the Hidden Falls Trail in Grand Teton last year at this time.

So it is really exciting to report this image was also licensed for unlimited nationwide bus stop signage for one year, along with some other uses! [click to continue…]

Teton Photo Gallery

Teton Photo Gallery

Well we have just updated our website gallery with all our new Grand Teton National Park Photos.  Now that we have a fair amount of spring a fall coverage of the area, the lack of winter coverage seems like a glowing hole.  Hopefully one of these year. 

 If you followed our travels through the Tetons on our blog, then many of these photos will look familiar.

Sotheby’s Cover

Sotheby’s Cover

If you have followed this blog for long, you will remember the wonderful time we spent around the Grand Tetons this past June.  It is nice to have images from that trip already in print – from pond to print in less then 6 months! 

This is one of the advantages of digital.  During the days of shooting slides, a trip like the one we took to the desert southwest last winter would just now be making it to market.  With digital, that trip paid for itself within just a few months!

These trips may pay for themselves quicker, but they won’t begin to pay for any of the homes in this catalog!

Here you can read more about our travels to the Grand Tetons on the photo blog.

Luminosity Masks

by Ron on January 4, 2008

Horseback Riding in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.

Horseback riders this past fall in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.

If you followed the link in yesterday’s post on saturation masks, you will realize Tony also offers actions for something called luminosity masks as well.  This is another subtle, but powerful tool that frankly I haven’t mastered and rarely utilize, but I plan to spend more time trying to master them over the next month as we begin to adjust our autumn photos. 

So why discuss it if I don’t use them yet?  Well, I have recently discovered another use for these masks that make them much more valuable, but I will save that for the next post.  Again, this is a relativly advanced topic that won’t interest everyone. [click to continue…]

Grand Tetons

Grand Tetons

Now this is my kind of viewpoint!  Unlike yesterday’s post – here I was the only person within at least 3/4 a mile.  Just me, the crisp fall breeze, and the distant bugle of an elk.  Perfect.

Here are more photos of Grand Teton National Park.

Oxbow Madness

by Ron on September 30, 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. [click to continue…]

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!

Grand Teton National Park Photos

Janine just completed another new section to our website – Grand Teton National Park photos.  These photos are almost all from our spring visit.  Again if you have followed the blog, many will look familiar.

Kayaking in the Tetons

I have received a number of emails lately asking for more of the details behind each photo.  It is a good suggestion, and I have promised to do just that on occasion.  What I thought might be interesting would be to share my detailed thought process behind a single image.  I decided to do that with this photo from our spring trip.  I think some people might be surprised all that goes into just one photo.

Barn Panoramic, Grand Teton National Park

by Ron on August 10, 2007

 Barn Panoramic, Grand Teton National Park

Here is another image from our spring trip.  This panoramic is made up of 3 separate images.  Unfortunately on the blog I am limited to 400 pixels in width which leaves it pretty small.

Chapel of the Transfiguration

When Janine wasn’t with me on my Alaska travels, she was hard at work converting and adjusting photos from our spring travels.  She also got help from Jenessa who we hired part time.  When I’m traveling, my blog posts are usually photos that need little work.  I thought I would now share some other images from the spring trip – ones that required the combining of images to overcome either wide dynamic range, or for the creation of panoramic photo.

Taggart Lake Trail

The last time we went running on this trail, the people just a head of us had run into a bear.  It was hard not to forget this fact when we arrived at the trail-head at 4:45 a.m. and found it almost pitch dark!  For some reason I thought we would have some light. [click to continue…]

Colorado Columbine Wildflower

by Ron on June 26, 2007

Colorado Columbine Wildflower photo

We have been seeing a fair amount of Colorado Columbine wildflowers at higher elevations – above 7,000 feet.  They are a beautiful wildflower.   Unfortunately there are very few wildflowers here this year.  Like most of the west, it is extremely dry.
