Oxbow Bend Golden Hour
Oxbow Bend Golden Hour in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Park area provides a stunning view of the northern Teton Range. Mount Moran towers in the distance providing a majestic reflection off the calm waters in the bend of the Snake River. This was my very first visit seeing Oxbow Bend and I really didn’t know what to expect. I have wanted to visit and capture this photo for a long time. I researched for many hours before my trip every location I had planned to capture with my photography. It’s just over an 8-hour drive from my home in Colorado and I had planned a week vacation over the summer of 2022 during my birthday. Then the devastating June 2022 floods in and around Yellowstone area threatened my entire planned trip. I woke early that morning and went straight to my destination and was first on site at Oxbow Bend. I knew what composition I wanted and set myself up before anyone else got there. I took 200 photos of Oxbow Bend that morning to focus stack and blend the perfect masterpiece for this beautiful morning. It was a bit cold, and the fog was lifting off the river which I had not anticipated, but it added a nice aesthetic. Fog can be very unpredictable; it can cause focusing and sharpness issues and I really hadn’t planned for it at all. Then the crowd of people began to show and to get a better view they walked down to the water’s edge in the composition I had planned. I had to take several shots as they moved in front of the photo I had planned and later stack several images and edit them out of the scene in post processing. Then there it was as blue hour turned to golden hour the sun hits the peak of Mount Moran painting it bright pink. The fog begins to burn off and the peaceful river begins to awaken as it lights up. I can hear the ducks swimming and visualize the white pelicans in frame. This is Oxbow Bend during golden hour sunrise providing stunning mountain views against Snake River. The pink glow of the sunrise as it lights up the mountains and beautiful reflection across the river. It was well worth getting up early and getting out.

Nashville Moonlight Skyline
It was a chilly evening in Nashville, the first full moon of the year was rising high in the sky, casting a silver glow over the city. I had been wanting to capture the beauty and mystery of Nashville’s skyline for years, and tonight was the night. I made my way into the city, but traffic was slow, and I was worried I would miss the sunset. I was determined to get to the pedestrian bridge between Nissan stadium and the city, the location I had researched for the perfect shot. As I set up my camera and tripod, trying out different compositions, a young couple approached me. The man asked if I could take a photo of them and as he handed me his phone it was in video mode and he whispered for me to take a video, he got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend, with the stunning Nashville skyline as their backdrop. I hope they treasure that memory forever. As the sun began to set, I refocused on getting my shot. I was shooting into the sun, and the golden light was shining brightly on Nissan stadium, while casting dark shadows over the city. I cranked my F-stop up to F-22 to get a starburst effect, but overall, I wasn’t getting the shot I had hoped for. But then, as the sun dropped below the horizon and the lights of the city began to glow, the magic of the night came alive. I could hear the distant music from a cyclist passing by, and the smell of food from the city in the distance. I knew this was the shot I had been waiting for as the moonlight and lights from the city lit up the sky. As I pressed the shutter button, I felt a rush of excitement and satisfaction. I couldn’t wait to see the result. And as you can see, the photograph didn’t disappoint. I am now excited to offer it as a stunning print available on canvas, acrylic and metal to bring the enchantment of Nashville’s moonlight skyline into your home.

Sprague Lake Sunrise at Rocky Mountain National Park
I wasn’t positive about what to expect from this location. It was a peaceful morning. I can hear the stream running into the lake and the ducks diving into the water. I set out a goal to get the perfect golden sunrise with a reflection off the lake.
Denver Sunset Skyline
As a landscape and wildlife photographer in Colorado, I had always dreamed of capturing the Denver city skyline during sunset. I knew of the perfect location at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and had been planning this shot for months. The day finally arrived, and I set out early in the morning, determined to get the perfect shot. I knew it would be a challenging one, spanning several images stitched together to create a panoramic high resolution HDR photo. But I was up for the challenge. The drive to the location was treacherous, with icy roads and several inches of snow that had just fallen. But my determination kept me going, and I finally arrived at the location just in time for sunset. As I set up my equipment and began to take the first few shots, I couldn’t help but take in the sights and smells of the Rocky Mountains. The crisp, clean air was refreshing and invigorating, and the snow-covered peaks loomed majestically in the background. As I continued to snap photos, I could hear children sledding down the hillside in front of me and the honking of geese flying overhead. The sun was setting, and the sky was painted in beautiful shades of orange. But as the cold of the Rocky Mountains began to seep into my bones, I realized that I had forgotten my gloves. My fingers were freezing, and I could feel them starting to numb. But I didn’t let that stop me, as I knew this shot was too important. I pushed through the discomfort and continued to capture the stunning beauty of the Denver skyline in the background. As the sun finally dipped below the horizon, I knew I had captured the perfect shot. This photo was not only a beautiful representation of the Rocky Mountains and the Denver city skyline, but it also represented my passion and dedication to photography. This shot was the first step in my journey to make photography my career, and I couldn’t be prouder of it. Just look at the orange glow over Denver! This is a panoramic that should be displayed in a large print.

Winter Boulder Flatirons
There are five large rock formations along the Eastern slope of Green Mountain near Chautauqua Park. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I wanted to beat the crowds. Finally, I was ready to take my shot.
Bald Eagle Sunset
Bald Eagle in flight flew right over me during sunset at Barr Lake State Park in Brighton, Colorado. This unique state park has been known as a premier bird-watching area. A trail circles the lake offering prime viewing with a boardwalk that stretches out over the lake. When I learned there were bald eagles in Colorado, I didn’t believe it at first and I never dreamed of getting a shot like this on my first visit there. Believe it or not I have a hard time adventuring outside of my comfort zone sometimes and trying to explore new places. I am sure glad I took the opportunity to check out Barr Lake State Park as it had hundreds of bald eagles at this time when I visited. This was taken with my Canon 90D which has an APS-C 1.6x factor crop sensor shot with my EF100-400mm with a 1.4x III teleconverter. Not the huge lenses many of the photographers had there but plenty of reach. Full disclosure though this image is a composite since the initial shot was taken against the blue sky. I turned around and took the sunset with the eagles’ nest and the Rocky Mountains in the background and created this composite from the two images taken that same day. It was cold and there were still plenty of other photographers out on the boardwalk. It was a bit intimidating as they had a lot of equipment with them and these huge professional lenses, and here I was with my little telephoto lens and not even a full frame camera at that time. I had to laugh when this eagle flew over us and one of the other photographers shouted out, “Nope, too much lens”. Yet, I managed to capture the shot wing tip to wing tip in the frame. I now have a full frame Canon R5 mirrorless camera, and I blame this shot for getting me hooked and wanting to upgrade my equipment. I have gone back to this location every year since and have yet to get anything close to this spectacular shot. It is an amazing experience to watch these large bald eagles fishing over the lake. It is the challenge to capture an image as they snatch a fish up that keeps the adrenaline going even in the cold weather. Even though there have been less bald eagles over the years I will keep going back due to this memorable experience during my first visit there.
