This image is from Capitol Reef and while I am no geologist I found this rock interesting in the late light. There were multiple layers on top of each other and each had a different pattern to it. They were thin and separating and if I was to guess the ripples indicated that water flowed across at one time. Or maybe wind? Sand dunes? Just guessing! Anybody know?
I am having a ball with these mountain men portraits and creating an old time look.
Here is an image of Sunshine Mesa near Telluride I shot a few years back. Sadly…I am stuck home this fall season due a book deadline and the sale of our house means we start moving next week. Boo hoo! So all I can do is look at my photos from the past!

Saturday I was teaching outdoor portrait lighting at the Cascade Center of Photography in Bend. They lined up this lovely lady to be our model and this is one of many setups we created for students to experiment with different lighting setups. It was a lot of fun!
Here is an image from a recent architecture assignment, both the before and after. As I built these photos I am thankful for three things that make it all possible: the digital camera, Photoshop, and…a client! 🙂 (Actually, thanks to my buddy Steve who could not do the job and referred me)
One of the drawbacks of today’s stock sales model, the online one, is that you rarely see your published work. When my agents just send me checks, I never know who bought an image so I can go see the usage and add that to my collection of tears sheets.
Here’s one example. A granola bar ad running in Outside Magazine. It’s my kids backpacking and several from this shoot have been published. I just wonder how many more I have not and never will see. Oh well, I am pleased to have discovered this image.
I was teaching a workshop last weekend: The Business of Outdoor Photography at the Cascade Center of Photography and then had a chance to run up to Sparks Lake in Oregon and do some shooting. There is a beautiful mountain there hidden by the clouds and as you can see, and the light is horrible.
So I bracketed for HDR which once processed makes the white clouds have lots of detail. Since the color was poor as well, then a B&W made for a more interesting image.
In Photoshop I punched up the blacks a little more and then lightened the center of the image a little bit more to draw the eye.
Last weekend I co-taught a workshop with Christian Heeb and David Cobb on the Business of Outdoor Photography which was held at the Cascade Center of Photography in Bend, Oregon.
While I was demonstrating wireless strobe lighting outdoors, something important to outdoor photographers, I asked David to stand in as my model.
As you can see by the expression on his face, he was very excited at the invitation to model for me.
For the technical aspects read on….
