This gallery contains images that I have taken while visting Colorado and Utah, primarily Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park and the Maroon Bells area.

"Majestic" Rocky Mountain National Park, CO This majestic elk was passing by as I drove through the Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park. As I approached him to get a picture he turned and stared right into my eyes. I was forzen there until he finally looked away and I was able to take my picture. Technical Details: Shot with a Canon 5dMk2 and 28-135mm lens.

"Colorado Colors" Colorado There is no place I would rather be in the Fall than Colorado. Acres of hill and mountainside burn witih color as the Aspen trees turn their leaves. It literally takes your breath way to see it. Technical Details: Shot with a Canon 5dMk2 and 20mm lens.

"Golden Carbondale Valley" Carbondale, CO Just north of Aspen Colorado is the small town of Carbondale. It's a neat little town, and offers much more affordable stay than Aspen itself. When I come to Colorado, I like to stay here and then make the 45 minute drive up to Maroon Bells. In the Fall, the whole valley turns a golden yellow with the changing of the leaves. Technical Details: Shot with a Canon 5dMk2 and 20mm lens.
"Colorado Infrared Dreams" Carbondale, CO I really love how infrared light changes the dynamics of a scene. The light here was overcast, and pretty flat. However, using an infrared filter, everything changes. I converted this to Black and White, as I feel it works well with an infrared scene. Technical Details: Shot with an IR modified Canon 10D and Canon 50mm lens at F22, 1/60 seconds and ISO 100. Mosaic image created from 23 source images.
"Aspen Valley" Maroon Bells National Recreation Area, CO I really love how infrared light changes the dynamics of a scene. Plants glow bright white, and non reflective sources turn black.

Technical Details: Shot with an IR modified Canon 10D and Canon 50mm lens at F22, 1/60 seconds and ISO 100. Mosaic image created from 23 source images.

"Turret Arch" Arches National Park, UT It is possible to capture Turret Arch through The North Windows arch, creating this amazing scene. To get to this location, you have to climb through the North Window and scramble up some rocks. This is one of the best views within Arches National Park, in my opinion. Technical Details: Shot with a Canon 5d Mk2 and a Canon 20mm prime lens at F16. Bracketted images stitched and merged to create a wider dynamic range.
"Arches Park Predawn Light" Arches National Park, UT While waiting for the sunrise, I decided to capture a long exposure of the clouds streaming overhead. This is around fifteen minutes before the sunrise. Technical Details: Shot with a Canon 5d Mk2 and a Canon 20mm prime lens at F16.
