Looking out across the Bighorn National Forest in Wyoming on a hazy spring day.
This is an HDR image constructed from 3 exposures, shot with a Nikon D7000 camera and a Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 lens with a Nikon circular polarizer filter.
And now for something a bit different. HDR (high dynamic range) image of the engines on an F-15 Eagle fighter.
Wandering around Glen Canyon, Utah, on a spring afternoon…
This is a panorama constructed from 8 exposures. Nikon D800, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, ISO 100, 56mm, f/7.1, 1/200 second, no filters.

I wanted a view from near the base of the antenna so I had to use a four shot panorama to get everything in. You may see dark streaks against the sky – it was snowing as I was shooting. Normally on a panorama I would do a bit more correcting of the geometry and cropping but I liked the effect of the curved sides of the image that were present after the first stitch-together of the shots. Shots were taken with my Nikon D800 and Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, ISO 100, 24mm, f/6.3, 1/160 second exposure.
A spring afternoon on Lake Entiat, Washington state.
Just a view from the side of the road, heading west out of Tucson…
Nikon D800, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, ISO 100, 58mm, f/7.1, 1/200. No filters.
Exploring the Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in southern Arizona on a spring morning.
This is a 6 shot panorama – I couldn’t get back far enough to get the framing I wanted without standing on another big cactus. It was shot with my regular landscape rig – Nikon D800, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 lens. The frames were shot in vertical format, ISO 100, 24mm, f/9.0, 1/320. No filters were used.

Due to the dark colored ground below these Nevada mountains, and the intensity of the reflections from the ice and snow, they looked (to me) like they were floating…
Exploring the dunes near Sand Mountain, Nevada, just after sunrise.
Experimental image. Found this wind farm near the border of Utah and Nevada. A panorama set was required to capture all off the wind turbines, but it was a windy day and they were all spinning rapidly. Shot the panorama set as quickly as possible, using about 60-70% overlap between frames so I could fine-tune where each image in the set was stitched to the next. Click to see a larger version.
