Evening Rays II

Evening Rays II

Went for a nice drive today, visiting Canyon Ferry Lake for the first time.  Arrived a little too late to take any decent photos on the water, but all was not lost.  The trek over included about 50 miles of backwoods gravel roads and some of really amazing scenes.  Today’s image came on the approach [...]

Archive Dive III

Another from around 2002 or 2003, this image was taken among the crags at the Natural Bridge.  On one side of the sinkhole the falls have created over the millennia, the cliff face is shearing off in massive chucks with room enough between them to walk.  It was while walking through one of these slots [...]

I wish it were otherwise, but my workload is dictating that non-essentials be limited as much as possible.  Thanks for your patience [...]

Grainy Elevator

Grainy Elevator

One thing I’ve always disliked about digital cameras is pixel ‘noise’.  It’s kind of like grain, but doesn’t have a lick of aesthetic value.  In fact, if it’s in your photos it pretty much says you don’t know better or don’t care.  With film, a higher ISO dictates the amount of grain in your shots [...]
