Point of Peace
I just returned from a 4-day photo adventure through some of my favorite regions of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming…all ablaze with the colors of fall. Like a stained glass kaleidoscope, the mountains and forests were something out of a myth. As has been said before, time flies…and boy, was I having fun. Despite all [...]

Just as studio photographers use soft boxes to produce healthier tones in their images, so too can this technique be applied in landscape photography. Unlike a studio, however, in nature it requires a bit of luck at both timing and location. As frail clouds dissipate into non-clouds they can act as a filter for the [...]

A perfect scene to continue this study, the flat light in the foreground makes for a stark, yet not fully silhouetted subject against a fairly dramatic sky in the back. I hope I get to [...]
