Too late again (mostly)
(click on any photo in this post to enlarge it) Each year there are certain things I try to make sure and photograph, waterfalls running full in the spring, burning of the prairie, the blooming of the butterfly milkweed, etc. One thing I try not miss each year is the Kansas wheat fields right before […]
Basic Camera Controls workshop coming up June 9th in Manhattan
The photography workshop “Basic Camera Controls” is coming up in a few weeks. Today’s digital cameras have some great features for photographers, but it can be overwhelming in figuring out what they are and how to best use them. We would like to help demystify your camera and how to operate it to help you get […]

Wandering the Shoreline
I took advantage of the nice weather Sunday evening to photograph sunset out at Tuttle Creek Lake. I’ve noticed that almost all of the photography I have done this winter has been “waterscapes.” I’ve always really enjoyed photographing water but this winter it seems that I’ve only really been inspired by water. I’m sure once […]
Fly Me To the Moon…finally a moon rise!
As you might have guessed from past posts, I have a mild obsession with photographing the (near) full moon rise. I try to get out a day or two before each full moon and photograph the moon rising over the landscape. Around the full moon, the moon rises near enough sunset that you can photograph […]
Changing Conditions And Paying Attention
A couple of weeks ago I was driving back into Manhattan at the end of a long day (up at 5:00 am, yuck!) and I had a good chance to watch the clouds changing in the west. It was late afternoon and the clouds were really forming some interesting patterns and textures. Not too much […]
Waiting on the Moon, again
Earlier this month I decided it was time to try and photograph another moon rise. Checking The Photographer’s Ephemeris I found that the moon was going to rise over a nice little cove on Tuttle Creek Lake. The cove is not far from my house and filled with really interesting dead trees (only a photographer could say […]
Gyp Hills Road Trip Part 3 – The Drive Home
(click on any photo in this post to enlarge it) I just realized today that I had not finished my series of blog posts from my road trip down to the Gyp Hills. At the end of my Part 2 of this series Dad and I had just finished our second day of photography on […]
And Then the Sunset
(click on any photo in this post to enlarge it) I had the chance Saturday to do some exploring around Alma with the gang from Kansascapes. We had hoped to photograph the moon rise out in the Flint Hills, but the clouds weren’t cooperating with us; a predicted 25% cloud cover had turned into 95% […]
