Colorful Tree

Wednesday, 10 November 2010, 7:02am

Colorful Tree. Every morning on my way to class I would pass a number of trees and there was one in particular that got very colorful as fall progressed. I took a number of pictures over two months and I thought I would share a few of them. Enjoy.

Portland & Seattle Trip

Sunday, 24 October 2010, 6:30pm

Portland & Seattle Trip. The University of Utah has a wonderful thing called Fall Break. Think of Spring Break but for the Fall Semester. This year Charlie and I decided to vacation in Oregon and Washington. We spent the first few days in Portland enjoying the sites and the great food and then made our way west to the coast. Spent a day or two heading north and eventually arrived in Seattle where we crashed for a few nights and saw more sites and enjoyed amazing food. Here are a few pictures from our trip:

Jackson Hole 2010: Black & Whites

Friday, 8 October 2010, 5:00am

Black & White Photographs of Teton National Park. I have posted many of my best photographs during our trip to Jackson Wyoming. Many of them show off the beautiful fall colors but I wanted to show how great they look in Black & White. My personal favorite is the road and clouds. Enjoy.

Jackson Hole 2010: Wildlife

Thursday, 7 October 2010, 5:00am

Wildlife at Teton National Park. During our adventures through Teton National Park, we came across a few animals that I was able to photograph. I was rather unprepared to photograph wildlife as I was only carrying my wide-angle lens and nothing telephoto. Luckily, I captured a few shots of a coyote, an elk and a moose. Next time I will be more prepared. Enjoy.

Jackson Hole 2010: Jenny Lake

Sunday, 3 October 2010, 8:40pm

Jenny Lake at Teton National Park. We spent some time on the south side of Jenny Lake and then went up to the north end and by the time we got there, the wind had calmed down and the lake was like glass. There is a scenic drive to get to the Jenny Lake Overlook. It was beautiful.

Jackson Hole 2010

Sunday, 3 October 2010, 8:02pm

Jackson Hole 2010. We decided to take a weekend trip up to Jackson, Wyoming and enjoy Teton National Park. I brought along my camera and was able to capture some great photographs and the beautiful fall colors. We left Friday afternoon and got into the Teton Village after 9pm and crashed for the night. Saturday was spent running around Teton National Park and capturing pictures. We watched the sunset at Oxbow Bend and went back into town. Sunday we enjoyed the sunrise and made our way back to Salt Lake.

I managed to take over 1000+ pictures and have many to share. I used my Nikon D300 and my AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lens for most of the photographs. My Canon SD780 IS captured a few. The tripod was used for a majority of the shots. The photographs were prepared using Aperture 3. I used Photomatix Pro for the HDR picture. Enjoy the pictures. There are many more coming…

Fall Colors

Sunday, 26 September 2010, 10:32pm

Fall Colors. We decided to go for a drive this afternoon up Big Cottonwood Canyon and I brought along the camera. It has been a few weeks since I broke out the Nikon D300 and I was struggling a little to compose and capture some images tonight. I didn’t use my tripod and was running around without much patience to really grab a great shot. The drive was really nice. The weather was fantastic and the colors are beautiful. Enjoy.
