The Spotlight Moves

Light never ceases to amaze me. It travels across a monochrome environment and brings color and texture in unexpected places. It can make a scruffy twig look like a piece of art.

At First Light

This image was shot at the Devil’s Garden which is about 15-20 miles south of Escalante, Utah. It is filled with whimsical sandstone formations that are like a Rorschach test for photographers. What made this shot so special for me was how the light reflected off the rock and lit up adjacent areas.

This image was shot on the east side of Capitol Reef, on the road going south to the Water Pocket Fold. The light was so severe that I had to take two images to make a composite. This is one of the least-visited national parks and one of the most facinating.

This is the 4th time that I have tried to capture the beauty of a slot canyon. I think that I am finally getting it! This image consists of 11 exposures that were combined with a software called Photomatix,

I recently returned from a trip to northern Arizona and southern Utah. This was a third trip with some good friends. This image was shot about 25 miles east of Boulder, Utah. A perfect day to shoot: the light changed constantly. This is a composite of 2 exposures; the light was too harsh for one.

The museum is right below but the art seemed to be right in front of me. This is about 20 minutes after sunset.

Paris is a photographer’s dream during the day and is even better at night. I now know why it is called The City of Lights. This is a multi-exposure image. It was hard to get the car lights where I wanted them.

A view from the castle at Carcassone. The image is HDR, consisting of 5 exposures. The clouds were fast-moving, so they took extra work,

This statue was right next to the wheel in the next image. It was begging to be taken, It is a composite of three exposures…..it took a long time to make it look right,

This was a composite image. It was raining lightly and I kept getting water on my lens. This is one of my favorite shots of Paris.


About Me
I am as passionate about the post processing as I am about the composition. The image is in my heart, not in the lens,
