Winter at Red Butte Garden

Saturday, 22 January 2011, 6:57pm

Winter at Red Butte Garden. I signed up for photography class this semester to help me improve my photography skills and to help force me to get out and take more pictures. There are many tool and techniques that I have yet to learn and master which is part of the reason why I am taking this class. These are a few pictures that I took earlier today while I was visiting Red Butte Gardens. The garden is open year round and is probably one of my favorite places to photograph. Please feel free to leave a comment or critique. Enjoy.

Winter Mountains

Sunday, 2 January 2011, 7:38pm

Winter Mountains. Happy New Year. Although it has been below freezing for over a week now, the clouds have cleared away and the beautiful Utah mountains come out in all their glory. The mountains are just amazing. The other evening during sunset I was able to be on the west side of the valley to get a fantastic vantage point to see the the evening colors and mountains. Enjoy.

Driving Through Tahoe

Wednesday, 22 December 2010, 3:08pm

Driving Through Tahoe. Luckily I was able to take some time off during the holidays to drive to California to visit my family and friends. The weather is always unpredictable and the drive through the Sierras can cause delays. Luckily the weather was fantastic and the roads were dry and clear. The mountains and clouds made for a scenic afternoon and I probably should have stopped and taken some pictures with my Nikon D300 DSLR but I was excited to get home. Enjoy the pictures.

Colorful Tree

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.
