It's been a minute. Here's a photo of some cool weather we had this evening. I was out on a mission to shoot some video, so this was taken with a 35mm Cine lens on an APS-C body (A6700).

‪Ok. Still on a drone photography kick with the Air 3S. Here's a shot from a scouting mission this morning. I'm going to have to go back for a higher-res pano when the sky is better.

Took the drone up to St. Vrain Canyon today for a little pre-sunset session. The goal was to experiment with stitching the 12MP RAW files from the Air 3S's 70mm lens. This is made up of 12 images using the neato "Free Pano" mode.

The famous Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado at dusk. There is so much cool history associated with this place, including being the setting for Stephen King's book "The Shining". Apparently it was just sold for a cool $400 million.

Downtown Boston from a recent trip. This was my first time there. What a great city!

The top of a mountain near Loveland Pass, Colorado. Weather moving in from the other side of the divide created some interesting lighting conditions.

I don't normally take landscape photos at f/2.8, but I wanted to test out a new lens and really liked the result. We had some interesting weather yesterday which made for some good evening light.

From the Spring snow we had last week. Here's hoping we'll get some more before the summer heat sets in. Our snowpack total for the winter was really low this winter.

It was nice and foggy this morning at Walden Ponds in Boulder. This is an 8 second exposure. I have no idea how the goose on the island stood still for that long... 🐦

Hey folks! It's been a while. I took a bit of a hiatus from the camera and social media, but I'm back in action. Had a great hike this morning in Boulder with such a beautiful morning. The clouds were weaving in between the Flatirons, which was a mood.

A view from a canyon overlook shows a precarious, lichen covered precipice with a waterfall in the background snaking down the opposite canyon wall.

More fun with the IR filter on a hike this morning. This is totally out of the norm for me, but I thought it turned out pretty neat. Eldorado State Park, Colorado

This afternoon I tried a 720nm IR filter on my stock X-T5, and the results are way better than I expected! The waterfall shots are both 8 minute exposures. The mountain scene was 2 minutes.

Maybe it's because I'm pretty new here, but one of the things I love about BlueSky is that I seem to stumble upon amazing artists I haven't seen, like Mark, every day. Here's to hoping that trend continues!

Low clouds and towering cliffs in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado

I almost didn't go out this morning because I didn't want to get out of my warm bed. Watching the fast moving clouds play with the changing light and color on these peaks was well worth it, though, despite my frozen fingers.

A long exposure smears the clouds over the mountains. The sun rising from behind paints the peaks with warmth as the frozen lake below provides an icy contrast.

How many of you are printing at home? I’m pretty new to the game and have been working on dialing in settings for B&W images. Really liking the Aurora Art White 300 paper from my Red River Paper sample pack. Anyone else have a go-to?

I agree 100% with Christoph here. The community here is second to none. Seeing all of the wonderful work in my feed every day is absolutely inspiring. This beautiful scene with seemingly endless tones of green is no exception!

I didn't enjoy social media until I joined #Bluesky. Here I am free to explore a wonderful #photography community, my feed is endless beauty! I don't have to fight any algorithm that decides who I see, or who sees me. It gives me much joy, it makes me smile, I feel so inspired. I hope you too!

Sherri's phenomenal monochrome work is such an inspiration. This is a good reminder to slow down, and take a long moment to find what about a scene really moves you - before taking the camera out.

“The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I sat for an hour here, before photographing. It was the most silent place I’ve ever been, I could hear my blood circulating. A spiritual moment.

I finally ended up getting the Nik Silver Efex plugin. I resisted it for the longest time, even after trying the trial a long time ago. I didn't quite grasp the amount of control it gives you over the tones in monochrome images. Well, I'm now a believer. Here's a re-work of the last shot I posted.
A steep, wooded hill rises in the foreground. In the background a rocky mountain peak is visible through the heavy clouds.
