Photo of the Week: Moonrise at Half Dome

During my DLWS sessions at Yosemite National Park, the class traveled to Glacier Point to watch the dying sunlight on Half Dome. While we watched the glow from the sunset behind us, we were treated to a beautiful moonrise through the thin clouds.

Photo of the Week: Gateway Arch

This image of the Gateway Arch was shot late in the afternoon, and features a cloud-draped Sun straddled by the arch. I was leaving a Cardinals game at the old Busch Stadium when I saw this brilliant combination of light and dark on the arch.

Photos of the Week: Footprints and Little Crab

Since I didn’t have a photo up last week, I’ve included two images from my trip to the Outer Banks in 2005. 

The first, Footprints captures the tracks of a small bird across the sands at the ocean along the Outer Banks.

The second, Little Crab, was also taken on the sands at the Outer Banks. I found this little guy running around on the beach, and he was nice enough to pause so I could take a close-up photo of him.

Photo of the Week: Amber Waves of Grain

Shot in Arizona, this week’s image was taken during a trip to the Grand Canyon in late spring of 2004. It was taken on the road from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon and features Humphreys Peak, the tallest point in Arizona. The sun was setting, lighting up the grain in the field in the foreground.

Photo of the Week: Tenaya Creek

This week’s image is another of several featured images from my trip to the Digital Landscape Workshop Series in Yosemite National Park. I drove from St. Louis to Yosemite in November 2005 to study digital photography and workflow from Moose Peterson.

This image was captured on the last morning shoot of the seminar. This particular scene attracted me because of the nice diagonal line through the image, along with the contrast of the rocks beneath the clear moving water and the turbulence beyond. 

Tenaya Creek is available in a variety of sizes. Please visit my sales gallery on Zenfolio if you are interested in purchasing Tenaya Creek.

Photo of the Week: Yosemite Falls

This week’s image is the first of several featured images from my trip to the Digital Landscape Workshop Series in Yosemite National Park. I drove from St. Louis to Yosemite in November 2005 to study digital photography and workflow from Moose Peterson.

Each day, Moose would guide the students through a morning and an evening shoot to capture some of Yosemite’s glory. This image was captured during our first morning shoot around Yosemite Falls. Despite the low water flow in the falls, there was enough spray off the rocks to capture the morning sun and create this beautiful rainbow. 

Yosemite Falls is available in a variety of sizes. Please visit my sales gallery on Zenfolio if you are interested in purchasing Yosemite Falls.

Photo of the Week: Dark Crystal

This week’s image is Dark CrystalDark Crystal was taken during an ice storm in early 2007. This crystal of ice, perhaps an inch long, was suspended from a gas grill. The color comes from the setting sun as this bold piece of ice grabbed the very last rays of sunlight from that winter day.

Photo of the Week: Memories of Fall

This week marks the beginning of a new feature here on the site. Each week, I’ll bring to light an image that is now available through my sales site on Yessy

This week’s image is Memories of Fall. I travelled to Lone Elk State Park in autumn to take a look at the bison and elk herds that roam the hillsides of the park, and found a hill of trees next to the lake, all displaying magnificent fall colors. For some reason, the little grove of trees at lake’s edge grabbed my imagination, and I decided to set them off by taking the color away from the rest of the image. To me, the simple image reminded me of an old black and white image that had been hand-tinted to restore the color to the grove.
