Nestled
I decided to post something that breaks from my traditional landscape style a bit. This small, busy scene caught my eye during a recent walk along the Yellowstone River. The cloud in the background makes the shot for me, adding some balance to the upper portion of the frame. I once had [...]
Snaking Through
I’ve been using the S-curve a lot lately in my compositions and really like the simplicity of this one in particular. I have another angle of this shot that I’ll be posting in a week or so, it was quite an enjoying scene to photograph.
Hunter Aloft
As I wrote in a recent post, I’ve become much more of a bird admirer in recent years. There seem to be more large birds in this region, primarily raptors, and I can’t help but photograph them when the occasion permits. Today’s photo was taken, as so many of my recent images, in [...]

I tried my hand at a bit of ‘vintage’ processing last evening and have decided to post the results for review…despite the slight banding visible in the vignetting that I just can’t seem to correct.

The natural lines allow you to step your way through the scene visually, upward into new tones and textures at each pause. One of my favorite elements is the pleasant S-curve [...]
