Welcome to winter – shooting on the solstice (almost)
The last couple of years I’ve been trying to make sure I’m out making some photographs during the solstices. Seems like winter solstice is easy to miss…it has some stiff competition for attention with Christmas only a few days away (interestingly solstice is tied to a number of holidays). And lets face it, not many…
Gyp Hills Road Trip Part 2 – The Next Day
On with the “road trip” blog posts….my last post detailed the drive down to the Gyp Hills and our first evening of photography in the Gyp Hills. This post starts off with sunrise the next morning. We had decided to drive the scenic drive from Medicine Lodge to Hardtner over to Aetna Road then up…
Gyp Hills Road Trip Part 1 – The Drive Down
For the past few years my Father and I have been taking photographic road trips down around Comanche County. In the past, we have headquartered out of Coldwater (where the Bean side of the family settled several generations ago) but this year we decided to stay in Medicine Lodge and focus on photographing the Gyp…
The end of Infrared (IR) season…
Infrared ‘season’ is about over for me…we are quickly losing all the vegetation from the trees as fall is finally taking hold. Vegetation strongly reflects IR light… combine the strong reflectance of vegetation and the dark skies of IR photos and you can get some very striking images. But as we lose a…
I’ll take my sunset on “The Rocks”
I haven’t been out with my camera much lately for a variety of reasons but mainly due to the insane heat wave we are in right now. I don’t like hot weather at all! If you don’t believe me about the heat, check out the high temps we have had in Manhattan since July 15th:…

Taking A Drive Along Skyline Road in Wabaunsee County
I get asked quite a bit where good places are in Kansas for photography. Personally, I really enjoy driving country roads so often my answer to this question is in terms of “a drive.” More and more I’m finding many of my “drives” take me to Wabaunsee County. If you haven’t explored Wabaunsee County you…
Wandering Around the Mount Mitchell Heritage Prairie
(click on any photo in this post to enlarge it) I’ve visited Mount Mitchell in the past a couple of times and was fortunate to be able to photograph the spring burning of Mount Mitchell in 2009. The Mount Mitchell Heritage Prairie is managed by the Audubon of Kansas in partnership with the…
Another day of close ups on Bird Runner Refuge
(click on any photo in this post to enlarge it) This weekend I had the opportunity to spend another afternoon photographing on the Bird Runner Refuge with the gang from the Kansascapes Photo Alliance. The light was less than ideal, but you can always find something to make a photograph of in any…
