“Just” another sunrise at Stockdale
Can you believe it? I actually got myself out of bed this morning at 5:00 am for some sunrise photography at Stockdale Park on Tuttle Creek Lake. Actually the alarm started going off at 5:00, I think I actually got out of bed around 5:30, but that is still pretty good for me! I was […]
Wabaunsee County Burning
Tuesday of last week I went out in search of some more spring burns to photograph. It was a still day and there were a lot of fires burning early in the day so I thought it might be a good evening for fire photography. I decided that I would drive down to Alma, Kansas […]
Scouting, strange weather, and eagles.
We had some really strange weather Friday, heavy fog that stayed around most of the day and then light fog/haze that evening. I was out at Stockdale Park scouting the location for a sunset shoot for one of my photography classes. The fog/haze combined with the sunset was producing some really interesting light and colors […]

Wandering around the Flint Hills

The day started by meeting fellow photographers from the Kansascapes Photo Alliance at the Bird Runner Wildlife Refuge where we are going to shoot a year long project. […]
Who needs the moon
The full moon today (Saturday the 20th) is supposed to be a ‘super full moon‘ where the full moons occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth (perigee). The moon will be somewhere around 14% larger than normal. I went out Friday evening to try and photograph the moon rise a day early. Why […]
Spring?
Everyone knows that when life hands you lemons you make lemonade right? Well what do you do when life hands you a late snowfall when you are really tired of snow? You make photographs! Yes I know, everyone is tired of snow. But you have to admit, this was a really pretty snow. […]
More Waterfalls and slow shutterspeeds
I recently had the opportunity to take a “shooting trip” through the Flint Hills with good friend and fellow photographer Wayne Rhodus (check out Wayne’s photographs at http://www.rhodusphotography.com/). We decided to make a bit of ‘waterfall’ circuit and the first stop we made was at the Geary State Fishing Lake to photograph the waterfall there. […]
